Zara walked hand-in-hand with close friend Natalie Pinkham at the event, who looked elegant beside the royal, wearing a traditional checked grey double-breasted coat and a dark rollneck combination. A khaki bow design sat atop her head, holding her straightened brunette tresses in place and exuding some divine femininity to her classic attire.

The equestrian was back at the races the following day, looking beautiful in her statement Juliette Millinery hat with a matching Rebecca Valance coat and cosy knee-high boots, styled as ever by Annie Miall.

Zara opted for a suit for day three of the races. The royal wore a grey-blue tweed blazer with matching wide-leg trousers as she posed for the cameras with her husband. A sleek leather bag with burgundy calfskin and gold hardware coorindated neatly with a disc-shaped hat boasting a painterly wisp detail.

On Friday, the 41-year-old braved the mud alongside her husband as she stepped out to send off the races in style. Zara wrapped up warm in a navy overcoat by Laura Green featuring a sumptuous wool exterior and a longline fit, pairing the piece with some black leather heels boots by Stuart Weitzman.
