Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall put on an affectionate display as they attended Royal Ascot today with Prince William and his in-laws.
The Royal Family was out in full force today to attend the second day of racing at Berkshire.
Zara Tindall, 43, looking elegant in a white floral dress, was pictured warmly greeting her cousin Princess Beatrice this afternoon.
Princess Anne’s daughter was seen giving Beatrice a kiss on the cheek and put an arm around the royal mother of one, who was wearing a pink floral dress and matching headpiece.
What’s more, Zara also greeted Beatrice’s mother equally warmly and was seen putting a hand on the Duchess of York’s shoulder.

Sarah Ferguson, 64, cut a sophisticated figure in a figure-hugging white dress and a black hat with bow detail.
After this sweet exchange, Zara’s husband, Mike, was photographed giving Sarah a warm hug during the reception.
Zara was later seen speaking to Prince William and his mother-in-law Carole Middleton.
At one point during the conversation, Zara was photographed affectionately adjusting her cousin’s jacket, which he had paired with a top hat.
Princess Eugenie was also seen deep in conversation with Carole Middleton before the races began.
The royal opted for a white knitted midi dress and pink fascinator for the occasion, while mother-of-three Carole looked elegant in a blue Self-Portrait dress.
The Middletons’ departure comes after their daughter Kate, 42, who has been receiving chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer since February, made a spectacular return to public life during Trooping the Color on Saturday.
Carole and Michael Middleton’s last public appearance was at Kate’s annual Royal Carols: Together at Christmas at Westminster Abbey in London in December.

Her floral dress seemed reminiscent of Kate’s £1,275 Elie Saab blue lace creation, which she first wore to Royal Ascot in 2019. It also featured a delicate bow and pleated details.
Proving to be a queen of coordination, Carole paired her long-sleeved summer dress with a matching light blue headpiece, featuring a statement flower and a pair of dark blue heels.
With a chic clutch in hand, she completed her stunning look with some glamorous makeup and a pair of gold earrings.
