This is the adorable moment Lucas Tindall tugged on his mum Zara’s riding helmet as she gave an interview at Badminton Horse Trials yesterday.
Zara’s three-year-old son sat on her hip as she chatted to the presenter at the equestrian event in Gloucestershire.
The 42-year-old was joined by her two other children, Mia, 10, and Lena, five, who she shares with former rugby star Mike Tindall.
But while Princess Anne’s daughter tried to concentrate on the questions, her cheeky son, wearing a Spider-Man cap and blue shirt, repeatedly put on his equestrian helmet.
Then he lovingly put his arm around Zara’s neck as she tried to get him to stop pulling on the leash.

When asked how his performance was, Zara said: “It was actually okay, I was just one down, disappointing, but he actually jumped a lot because he was feeling tired this morning, I think it’s the first time.”
‘Yes, he probably should have let me go sooner, but I’m sure my dad will tell me what I did wrong, but it’s really nice to be back there.
“I just want to thank my owner and my team who did a great job yesterday after a hard day’s work and have worked so hard we couldn’t have done it without any of them.”
Lucas was also pictured looking mischievous as he stuck out his tongue while looking at his mother.
Looking equally sweet, Mia and Lena sported light blue caps and summery outfits for a fun-filled family day. Lena wore a floral cotton dress from Joules.
The family seemed to have a blast during the action-packed day, with the children seen wearing big smiles in the grounds of Badminton House.
The horse trials are one of seven five-star equestrian events in the world. In five-star competitions, the sport’s best horses and riders compete against each other in three phases: dressage, cross-country and show jumping.
Badminton Horse Trials was created in 1949 to prepare British riders for the Olympic Games. Queen Elizabeth II presented the badminton trophy on the event’s 50th anniversary in 1999 to five-time British Olympian Ian Stark.
The 42-year-old was joined by her two other children, Mia, 10, and Lena, five, who she shares with former rugby star Mike Tindall.

This award is given to those who win three consecutive five-star competitions: Badminton Horse Trials, Kentucky Three-Day Event and Burghley Horse Trials in Lincolnshire.
Zara Tindall competed with her horse Class Affair at the event in Gloucestershire.
When asked what her favorite badminton memory was, Zara said: “God, probably when I wasn’t practicing badminton, less stress.”
‘Yesterday was probably the biggest achievement. With him, the way he is, he’s tough and he made me work all the time and work all week and he’s the toughest horse I’ve ever ridden.
At the event, Camilla presented a stuffed pony to Rhea Salt, 10, a Beaufort Pony Club runner.

Elsewhere, Queen Camilla looked elegant in a blue summer dress on the fourth day of the Badminton Horse Trials on Sunday.
The Queen attended on the final day of the event and presented trophies to the winners to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the occasion.
Camilla last presented the badminton trophies in 2016, when Michael Jung won the “event grand slam”.
