The Queen's granddaughter plumped for a loose fitting navy dress which appeared to showcase her growing bump on Saturday.

Zara is patron of the event’s Racing Women, an initiative promoting racehorse ownership among women.

Last year, the equestrian champion took a tumble while playing in the match herself.

And while the equestrian champion has made her return, there is no danger of pregnant Zara getting into the saddle.

News of Zara's pregnancy came just over a year after the royal couple suffered the heartache of a miscarriage on Christmas Eve 2016.

News of Zara's pregnancy means that the Queen will become a great-grandmother twice this year, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also expecting their third child.

The Tindall baby will be born in the summer, about three months after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third child is due, sources claim.

With Prince Harry due to marry fiancee Meghan Markle on May 19 at Windsor Castle, it will be a joyous year for the 91-year-old monarch and her family.    

Ever since Zara (pictured) and Mike announced that they are expecting their second child, the British Royal family have been preparing themselves for a big 2018
