Mike Tindall says the 'Guinness is still flowing' at Cheltenham

by · Mail Online

Mike Tindall appeared to be having a great time as he insisted the 'Guinness is still flowing' during an interview at the last day of the Cheltenham Festival.

Speaking to Raceday.RTV, the Princess Royal's son-in-law, 46, said 'it's been a really tough week for the punters... it's been really hard', referring to how numerous favourites had been toppled throughout the four-day occasion.

But the former rugby player added that 'everyone's still in a good mood... Guinness is still flowing... that's what it's all about.'

His discussion comes after Mike and his wife Zara appeared just as in love as ever as they were snapped gazing adoringly at one another when arriving at the final day of the festival.

The King's niece, 43, and her former rugby player husband appeared reluctant to take their eyes off of each other as they posed up a storm at the Gloucestershire racecourse.

Proving their fashion prowess, the loved-up pair even coordinated their ensembles, with Zara look glamorous in a turquoise V-neck coat and a matching statement headpiece.

Taking style tips from his stylish wife, Mike wore a similar coloured tie with his smart grey suit and striped shirt.

Looking effortlessly elegant, Zara teamed her vibrant coat with a navy turtleneck, as well as £435 high heeled Regina boots and the £345 Loxley Navy Croc Handbag, both from Fairfax & Favor.

Adding a touch of glitz to her outfit, Princess Anne's daughter opted for a set of delicate pearl earrings, while keeping the sun from her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.

The royal equestrian and former Olympian kept her makeup to a minimum, allowing her flawless complexion to shine through a sheer layer of foundation while opting for a swipe of pink lipstick. 

Mike and Zara, in her role as Cheltenham Racecourse Director, have attended everyday of the festival, joining Queen Camilla, the Princess Royal and Princess Eugenie on the various days. 

At today's event, Princess Anne also stepped out at the racecourse, alongside Andrew Parker Bowles, whom she briefly dated in the 1970s, at the races. Mr Parker Bowles is the ex-husband of Queen Camilla.

The couple's outing today comes after Mike revealed his hilarious 'liver management' hack for 'surviving' four days of Cheltenham. 

The former rugby player shared some drinking wisdoms with Raceday.rtv - while attending day three of the prestigious event.

He explained that while it's easy to get caught up in the excitement, there is one way to stealthily keep yourself above ground.

'It's not easy,' he admitted. 'All it takes is bumping into an old friend to push you over the limits. But with like, Guinness - you get a little Zero and no one knows!  A little Guinness Zero in the middle when no one knows. It goes a long way.'

A Guinness Zero is an alcohol-free alternative of the famous stout, and according to the brewers 'boasts the same beautifully smooth taste, perfectly balanced flavour, and unique dark colour of Guinness, just without the alcohol'.

The father-of-three, who appeared dapper in a stylish suit, had attended all three days of Cheltenham prior to the interview, calling the event 'amazing'. 

'It's always the atmosphere, the atmosphere's so relaxed,' he continued. 'Everyone's here for a good time and I can get on board with that.' 

Mike and Zara led the royal arrivals as they joined Princess Anne for yesterday's festivities. 

The trio stepped onto the concourse in thick wintery coats as they prepared to brave the temperamental British weather on what is traditionally celebrated as St Patrick's Thursday.

King Charles's niece sported a casual ensemble with a moss green long jacket with a waist cinching material belt. 

Beneath her stylish jacket, the 42-year-old wore a paisley navy shirt and complimented the autumnal green with a handful of statement black pieces.

The royal equestrian sported a stylish pair of black leather gloves, which she paired with a fedora hat and gold chain bag in the same charcoal shade.
