Real Royalty meets Racing Royalty! Zara Tindall and Kate Waterhouse team up for a spot of shopping on the Gold Coast – as Mike Tindall is spotted tagging along

Oh my gosh, you will NOT believe who I saw! It was Zara Tindall, actual royalty, hanging out with Kate Waterhouse, who is basically Australian socialite royalty, on the Gold Coast! They were just casually shopping before the Magic Millions, and I nearly fainted. It was a total meeting of incredible families – seriously, racing and royal bloodlines together! I’m still buzzing!

Oh my gosh, I just saw Zara! She’s 44 and looked absolutely incredible while shopping with Kate. They were totally taking in the excitement before the big carnival race – it was such a glamorous moment, I couldn’t believe my eyes! Seriously, Zara just radiates style, even when she’s just casually shopping.

Princess Anne’s daughter, known for her fashionable sense, looked effortlessly stylish in a red dress costing $899 from the brand Leo Lin while shopping with a prominent figure in the horse racing world.

She finished her outfit with a $378 leather satchel from Aspinal of London, along with gold jewelry, $175 Tory Burch sandals, and a pair of acetate sunglasses.

Kate, age 42, looked chic and put-together in a Burberry outfit. She wore a mini skirt costing $2,090 and a $1,290 khaki button-down shirt, both from the same brand.

The slender brunette completed her look with a Burberry bag, coordinating taupe sandals, and gold jewelry.

Zara was accompanied by her husband, Mike Tindall, a former rugby player, who seemed happy to let the women enjoy their shopping. He followed at a distance, pausing now and then to chat and share a laugh with them while people watched with interest.

Mike looked smart in his navy blue polo shirt, cream shorts and matching sneakers.  

Mike and Zara are currently in Australia as ambassadors for the Magic Millions event, which is happening for the third year in a row.

Zara shared with HELLO! Magazine that she and her family feel a strong connection to Australia, considering it a second home. Their annual trips to Queensland have become a beloved yearly tradition, marking the start of each new year.

We love transitioning from cold winters to the warm weather and amazing water temperatures here on the Gold Coast. It’s a fantastic place with something for everyone, offering a mix of beaches, countryside, and all sorts of activities.

This couple shares a special connection with the country, having first met in Sydney over twenty years ago, in 2003, while attending the Rugby World Cup.

Kate, coming from a prominent family well-known in Australian horse racing, is also a Magic Millions ambassador this year.
