Zara Tindall's friend, Natalie Pinkham, has heaped praise on the royal for being a fantastic mother to her three children.
Ms Pickham, who is a key figure on Sky Sports' Formula One coverage as a TV host, has been a close friend of Princess Anne's daughter for several years.
The pair have been seen together at numerous events, including the latest Cheltenham Festival.
Speaking about Mrs Tindall, the TV presenter said: "She's the most hands-on mother I know. She's unbelievable, she's so present for her kids."

Your Say
Born in Buckinghamshire, Ms Pickham has been away from television for some months due to possible permanent nerve damage from a disc compressing her spinal cord.
Following major surgery, she told fans on Instagram that she would resume work in time for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix.
She said: "Hi friends. So, it has been a long, and if I'm completely honest, quite difficult five months of rehab since my neck surgery.
"But I'm really happy to say that I have been given the all clear to do long hauls again. My first [race] that I will be presenting for Sky F1 this year is Japan. And I am really happy about that because I bloody love Suzuka, so very excited to see you then."
