It has been a busy week
for Zara and Mike Tindall, as not only have the royal couple
been out at Royal Ascot, but they’ve also been preparing for daughter Lena’s fourth
birthday.
And on the big day, doting
father Mike shared an insight into the celebrations as they stood in a wide-open
area surrounded by dozens of colourful balloons. While Mike proudly stood
holding his lot aloft, Zara playfully hid under hers, and even got them styled
to look like they would work as a hat for the Ascot celebrations.
Although their full plans for
Lena’s birthday aren’t known, the event will probably be held at their home on
the Gatcombe Park Estate, where they live close to Zara’s brother Peter, his
daughters and mother Princess Anne and her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence.
As well as young Lena, Zara
and Mike are parents to Mia, eight, and one-year-old son Lucas.
In the post Mike shared, he
also gave an insight into some potential Ascot fashion he might style next year
as he posed in Zara’s striking hat.
He joked in the caption:
“How could I have forgot this one from yesterday!! We have already started
planning for next year @ascotracecourse??”

The pair played around with balloons
Fans enjoyed the photos
shared, and many wanted to wish the young royal a happy birthday, as one
posted: “Happy birthday to Lena!”
A second shared: “Happy
birthday Léna,” and a third added: “Happy Birthday to Lena.”
Others commented on the
closeness that Zara and Mike share with one another, with many labeling them a
“great couple”.
A follower even teased: “There’s
Instagram husbands and now you’ve established Insta royal spouses.”

Lena turned four on Saturday
The couple will have more to
celebrate next month, as they mark 11 years since tying the knot in
Edinburgh.
On that day, Zara wore a
precious Greek tiara that belongs to her mother, Princess Anne. The ‘something
borrowed’ piece consists of a brilliant-cut diamond surrounded by a glittering
wreath.
It originated in Greece’s
royal family, with Prince Philip’s mother Alice gifting the tiara to Queen
Elizabeth II – and the Queen subsequently passed it on to her daughter, Anne.
