Zara Tindall marked her 45th birthday with her husband, Mike Tindall, at the ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic charity tournament at the Belfry hotel in the West Midlands today. The King's niece joined her former rugby player husband for the annual event, which raises funds for the Matt Hampson Foundation and Cure Parkinson's charity.
In photos from the event, Zara is seen hugging her brother Peter Phillips's ex-wife, Autumn Phillips, alongside long-time family friend Dolly Maude. The warm embrace signals there is no bad blood between them, despite Peter and Autumn finalising their divorce in June 2021. Both have since moved on: Autumn is in a relationship with property tycoon Donal Mulryan, while Peter is set to marry his NHS nurse fiancée, Harriet Sperling, on Saturday, June 6. The wedding guest list reportedly includes King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.
Zara's birthday did not go unnoticed at the event. She, Autumn, and Dolly rode in a golf buggy decorated with balloons, party streamers, and a cartoon face. In one image, Zara gazed lovingly at Mike, both wearing matching bright green merchandise for the tournament.
Royal Garden Party Appearance
Earlier last week, Zara was at her glamorous best as she supported the Prince and Princess of Wales at their first royal garden party of the season. Prince William and Kate hosted the event at Buckingham Palace on behalf of King Charles, joined by Zara, who transformed her makeup-free look from the previous day's Badminton Horse Trials. She wore a stunning blue cutwork dress from Australian brand Leo Lin, retailing at £475 (AUD 895), believed to be custom-created with delicate puff sleeves. She accessorised with a statement hat and off-white clutch.
The garden party honoured workers from frontline sectors, including emergency services, volunteers, and charity workers. Zara was seen walking alongside the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Edinburgh, who also wore a blue ensemble. The royals met guests from their patronages and projects, including William's Homewards campaign to end homelessness. The event began with the national anthem, and typically more than 30,000 guests attend each party, consuming 27,000 cups of tea, 20,000 sandwiches, and 20,000 slices of cake.
