Mike Tindall has been enjoying his time at Royal Ascot this week but eagle-eyed royal watchers might have noticed that the dad-of-three appeared to be carrying some insider information!
It looked as though a piece of paper Mike was holding in one photograph listed the dates of upcoming shoots at Balmoral in August and September.
However, the paper was titled Draft, meaning the arrangements may be subject to change. Referring to Prince William, Mike, Zara's brother Peter Phillips and the Duke of York, the top entry read: "PoW, Tindall, Phillips – all keen, DoY tbc".

Peter and Lindsay just look so natural and great together and are incredibly happy. They are both very private people, but the pictures of them at the Coronation Concert and those smiles just say it all.

It means a lot to Peter that Lindsay was allowed to take her place in the royal box by his side for a very important part of the coronation weekend."
