Zara has loving moment with Mike as they join glam Sophie at Royal Ascot
Zara Tindall lovingly had her face wiped by husband Mike as she and a glamorous Duchess of Edinburgh joined King Charles and Queen Camilla for the second day of Royal Ascot.
Zara, who was attending for the second day running, was in the carriage procession with her former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here star husband when she appeared to get something stuck to her face.
After failing to remove it, she turned to Mike, who lovingly wiped away whatever was bothering his wife, who giggled as he carried out her request.
Mike seemed to carry out his job well, as Zara, who wore a stunning navy dress and vibrant green hat, quickly checked her appearance in her phone to check she was happy that whatever had stuck to her face had gone.

But he was left clasping his face while Queen Camilla bit her nails as they watched their first Royal Ascot runner miss out on victory.
Charles and Camilla's emotions were put to the test – just like any other hopeful horse owner – as their thoroughbred Saga was well beaten by a rival ironically called Royal Champion.

The King and Queen have carried on Queen Elizabeth II's tradition of supporting Royal Ascot and were joined by members of the royal family as they ushered in a new era.
Their day at the races began with a traditional carriage procession. Charles and Camilla, both fans of racing, waved to the crowds who filled the grandstand on the first of five days of Royal Ascot and were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington in their carriage.
