Zara and Mike Tindall have been enjoying both the heat and the races at the Magic Millions Race Day on Australia's Gold Coast. The pair have partaken in multiple TV interviews about their time in Australia and how they're finding the annual event.

More than just spectators, the Tindalls have been longstanding ambassadors for the Magic Millions Racing Women initiative since 2012. Reflecting on the week, the royal pair were interviewed on Australia's Channel 7. The sports host asked Zara: "15 years, Zara. It's been fun getting to know you. What have you loved this week?"

Zara Tindall gave a simple one-word answer and replied: "Everything." She added: "There's so much going on. We love being a part of it. Galloping down the beach..."

Adding his usual humour, Mike joked: "You are a highlight of our trip. She missed that goal, but you picked her back up!"

Australia plays an important part in Mike and Zara's love story, as it's where they met back in 2003 at a bar in Sydney while Zara was on a gap year.

The couple jet off to Australia every January for the Magic Millions Carnival, which they have previously dubbed their second home.

During the interview, the daughter of Princess Anne, 44, wore a bright pink lace dress from her go-to Australian designer, Rebecca Valance.

She paired the gown with an elegant cream sunhat and, jewellery-wise, opted for silver drop earrings.

While attending the event and taking part in interviews, the royal pair continued to beam at each other.

Alongside close friends and fellow ambassadors like Argentine polo star Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blaquier, Zara has been taking part in various events, from showjumping to playing polo.

Fans down under have also caught glimpses of the couple enjoying life in the heat. They've been taking beach strolls at Cabarita Beach and having nights out, which Mike cheekily shared on social media, giving a peek into the fun side of their trip.
