Zara Tindall (nee Phillips) was one of the few guests invited to her mother Princess Anne's second wedding to Sir Timothy Laurence in December 1992.
Anne had split from Zara's father Captain Mark Phillips in 1989 and they officially divorced months before she eloped to Scotland, where the church allowed divorcees to remarry.

As well as being the only child in the photo, she was also the only one wearing a multicoloured outfit. While the late Queen Elizabeth II wore a colour-block teal coat dress and the Queen Mother modelled a similar blue coat, Zara wore a midi black dress with a cropped red jacket over the top.
Other royal ladies wrapped up from the cool weather in skin-coloured tights, but Anne's young daughter chose a more wintery black option, finishing her look with black shoes.
Her blonde hair had been swept back into a ponytail with no traditional hat, fascinator or even headband – which are often expected at royal weddings.
Princess Anne's first wedding

After welcoming Peter, born in 1977, and Zara, born in 1981, the former couple announced their separation in August 1989 and divorced in 1992.
Princess Anne's elopement
© EPAPrincess Anne announced her relationship with Sir Timothy with a low-key appearance at the Royal Caledonian Ball in May 1992.
Seven months later, they tied the knot in front of 30 people at Crathie Kirk church in Aberdeenshire. At the time, the Church of England forbade members of the church to remarry after divorce during the lifetime of their former spouse.
Defiant Princess Anne bent the rules by jetting to Scotland to marry her love in an unroyal mini dress.
