Mike and Zara Tindall have spent the end of December and the start of the New Year in Australia, where the royal is competing in polo tournaments over there. And on Sunday, the pair stepped out to attend the Magic Millions Polo tournament on the Gold Coast, which was helping to raise money for the firefighter's fund to help tackle the ongoing bushfires in the country. The pair looked incredibly loved-up holding hands as they made their way to the event, with Zara dressed in a stylish red printed dress teamed with a black trilby hat and red gold chain bag, while Mike looked dapper in a navy shirt with a light blue blazer, white chinos and trainers. He completed his look with a white hat, which he carried in his hand.

The royal couple are out in Australia with their two daughters, Mia and Lena
Mike and Zara aren't the only members of the royal family who are doing their bit for Australia in the country's time of need. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex posted a message on their Instagram account, Sussex Royal, on Saturday night to encourage their followers to help. Taking time out from their holiday to show their support, Prince Harry and Meghan shared a series of photos of the horrific damage being done. Captioning the heartbreaking images, they wrote: "Our thoughts and prayers are with those across Australia who are continuing to face the devastating fires that have been raging for months."

They continued: "From areas we are personally connected to such as the communities and people we visited in New South Wales in 2018, to the fires in California and parts of Africa, we are struck by the increasingly overlapping presence of these environmental disasters, including of course the destruction of the Amazon which continues. This global environmental crisis has now been described as Ecocide. It’s easy to feel helpless, but there’s always a way to help.

Earlier on Saturday, meanwhile, the Queen said she was "deeply saddened" by the fires in a message of condolence addressed to the country's Governor General David Hurley and "to all Australians". Her Majesty said: "I have been deeply saddened to hear of the continued bushfires and their devastating impact across many parts of Australia. My thanks go out to the emergency services, and those who put their own lives in danger to help communities in need. Prince Philip and I send our thoughts and prayers to all Australians at this difficult time."
