He was also pictured entering the event alongside mum and dad in the pouring rain earlier in the day.

The pair's two daughters, six-year-old Lena and ten-year-old Mia can also be seen enthusiastically leaning against the rails.

It was feared that the event would not take place - after 50mph winds battered some of the jumps.

But organisers confirmed it would go ahead yesterday after the home of racing passed its 7.30am inspection.

The Tindall family frequently attend equestrian events together - often to support Zara, who is a professional event rider.

In September, Mike, Lucas and the pair's second daughter Mia, ten, were seen at the Burghley Horse Trials in Lincolnshire, which Zara was competing in.

In the playful snaps, Mia - who is 22nd in line to the throne - was seen with an Apple AirTag pinned to her shorts as she larked around.

In August, the whole family attended Hartpury International Horse Trials in Gloucestershire.

Zara, who is the daughter of Princess Anne, was seen carrying Lucas, as she sported a trendy gilet, shorts and cap.

The close-knit group enjoyed lunch and a stroll round the stores together, before Zara rushed off to compete.

She was placed fourth at the championship and won £800.

Zara married former rugby player Mike in 2011, before welcoming Mia in 2014.

The pair then gave birth to Lena in 2018 - with Lucas finally coming along on March 21 2021.

At the time, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed: "Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall."

He was born at the pair's home in Gatcombe Park, weighing 8lbs 4oz.
