The crowds looked delighted as the royal mother-of-three rode on horseback.

Figueras, who was once dubbed the "David Beckham of Polo", and his team won the game, beating the royal equestrian.

This was despite Zara scoring the first goal of the thrilling match. This was reported by the event's Instagram page.

When she arrived at the event, the 42-year-old sported a chic £450 summery striped dress from Rebecca Vallance.

This nautical-inspired button-up dress which Zara teamed with white sandal wedges was perfect for the warm weather in Australia.

The mother-of-three also wore a wide-brim hat and some sunglasses.

She later swapped this out for riding gear as she prepared to take part in the day's equestrian activities.

Elsewhere Mike cut a dapper figure in a navy blazer and tie, worn with beige chinos.
