Zara Tindall gave King Charles an affectionate hug during the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday.
The monarch and his niece looked in high spirits today as they happily embraced each other at the equestrian event.
The monarch wore a beige raincoat over a white shirt and blue and green striped tie as he watched the endurance phase of the competition.
The Royal Windsor Horse Show was one of the late Queen Elizabeth’s favourite events which she commonly attended since it was established in 1943.
