Mike Tindall had his hands full on Saturday for a family day out to support Zara as she competed in the Burghley Horse Trials, as his youngest Lucas, three, appears to have inherited the Tindall wild streak.

The day was unsuccessful for the late Queen's granddaughter, 43, who fell from her horse Class Affair in the cross-country event, which knocked her from the competition. Thankfully, the mum-of-three was unharmed, and despite the disappointment, the Tindall kids enjoyed a day out.

Lucas appeared to be in high spirits for the day and at one point was seen playing with his older sister Lena on a wooden box.

The onlooker told HELLO! that Mike kept a close eye on his son during their day out and handled his cheeky behaviour with admiration.

A helping hand

Peter Phillips' partner Harriet Sperling was quick to rescue Lucas, saving him from hitting the floor. The onlooker told HELLO! that the 44-year-old interacted comfortably with the wider family.

When all else failed, Mike resorted to popping Lucas on his shoulders and buying him an ice cream.

This move seemed to appease Lucas, who was happy to hold onto his dad.
