Princess Anne's daughter celebrated the special day in style

Zara Tindall marked her 45th birthday in style on Friday evening at the Belfry Golf Club in the Midlands.

The occasion proved a double celebration, coinciding with her husband Mike Tindall's annual charity golf fundraiser.


The event supports two worthy causes close to the couple's hearts: Cure Parkinson's and the Matt Hampson Foundation.

Mike shared the festivities on Instagram, writing: "An incredible day celebrating two wonderful causes. And who could forget some birthday celebrations too!"

The equestrian and mother of three looked radiant as she joined her former England rugby star husband for the glamorous evening affair.

The birthday girl stunned in a navy blue mini dress featuring sparkling diamante embellishments along the neckline.

She completed the elegant look with silver pointed-toe stilettos that showcased her toned legs.

Her signature blonde bob was swept into gentle waves for the evening occasion.

The outfit struck the perfect balance between glamour and elegance, befitting the King's niece.

Mike cut a dashing figure alongside his wife, sporting a black velvet dinner jacket teamed with a crisp white shirt and black trousers.

The romantic photograph shared by Mike proved popular with the couple's admirers on social media.

Fans flooded the comments section with warm wishes for the pair.

"You're an amazing couple! I hope Zara had the best day," wrote one follower.

Another added: "It was a brilliant day and evening. Thanks @mike_tindall12 and happy birthday Zara!"

A third well-wisher penned: "Thanks for having us - happy birthday Zara".

The outpouring of affection demonstrated the enduring popularity of the down-to-earth royal couple, who have long been favourites with the British public for their approachable manner and dedication to charitable endeavours.

Before the evening festivities, the couple had spent the day on the golf course in coordinating attire.

Both Zara and Mike donned matching mint green polo shirts for the daytime activities.

The birthday girl paired hers with white jeans and a navy blue cap, while her husband chose his characteristically bold golfing trousers in various shades of green.

The former rugby international is renowned for his eye-catching trouser choices at his annual fundraising event.

He shared a playful tribute to his wife earlier in the day, posting a photograph of the pair in their matching outfits.

He wrote: "I can't believe she's letting me play golf on her birthday. What a legend!"
