Zara Tindall looked to her cousin Princess Beatrice for fashion inspiration as she stepped out at Cheltenham Racecourse yesterday.
The daughter of Princess Anne wrapped up in a stylish coat by The Fold, which has been seen previously on her cousin the Duke of York’s daughter, 34.
The 41-year-old donned the indigo coat, which is named ‘Finchley’ and features metal crest buttons, pockets and ruffle feature at the back, and paired it with with Fairfax & Favor knee-high boots, a Lalage Beaumont bag and Somerset Millinery trilby.
Princess Beatrice, wore the same collarless coat in a camel shade last year when she attended the Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey hosted by the Princess of Wales with her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi, 39.

The £650 coat is a firm favourite among royals and was even seen on Pippa Middelton in forest green at the same carol concert as Prince Andrew’s daughter.
The brand has rocketed in popularity since starting up in a discreet Chelsea boutique in 2012, designed to feel like a ‘member’s club’, where it offers personal services to its clients – which include the likes of Kate Middleton, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Holly Willouhby.
And the reappearance on Zara has proved just why the stylish royal women had chosen the elegant coat, which boasts a flattering nipped-in hemline with black Fold logo buttons.
The tailored waist flows into a mid-length soft flared skirt, and is designed to fit perfectly over dresses.

Princess Beatrice opted for a velvet headband and coordinating clutch bag with midnight blue shoes when she wore the coat in 2021.
The Fold was co-founded by former financier Polly McMaster, whose mission was to make women look ‘as smart as a man in his bespoke suit’.
Its popularity no doubt lies in its clever design which boasts a ‘contouring’ wrapped waistline to give the illusion of a slimmer figure and a flattering, fit-and-flare silhouette.
With prices for a dress starting at £165, it’s certainly not a budget brand but is still affordable enough to compete for custom with the likes of Reiss, L.K.Bennett and Hobbs.

The brand has also received the royal seal of approval from the Duchess of Cambridge, who first wore one of its smart grey dresses to visit a rehab centre at Send women’s prison in 2015.
In 2018 ‘Camelot’ dress boasted a waiting list of 700 as women scrambled to get their hands on one after it sold out in every size in just 30 minutes.
The blush pink, fit-and-flare dress costs £275 and has consistently sold out season after season, with TV presenter Holly Willoughby boosting sales after wearing it live on air.
Zara, enjoyed her day at Cheltenham racecourses with her husband Mike Tindall, 44 and their two daughters Mia, eight and Lena, four.
