Meanwhile the Tindalls and Brooksbanks were joined by a group of friends to enjoy a weekend away in Bahrain to watch the Grand Prix in March. Their husbands Mike and Jack, who appear to have struck up a firm friendship, were pictured hugging before parting ways on the tarmac following the weekend away.

Eugenie and Zara also put on a friendly display as they attended the second day of Cheltenham Festival on March 13.

The royals, who are first-cousins, were in high spirits as they arrived at the races side-by-side with their husbands, Jack Brooksbank and Mike Tindall. While Princess Eugenie, whose father is the Duke of York, was elegant in a chic white ensemble, Zara opted for a smart navy trouser suit for the outing. The pair were quick to show off their friendship during the event, beaming as they chatted with one another and exchanging glances as they watched the races.
