Zara Tindall’s daughter Mia, 4, enjoys an ice lolly on family trip to Gatcombe Park horse trials with her royal cousins Savannah and Isla Phillips and granny Princess Anne
The youngster, four, was seen playing with her cousins during the royal family day out
MIA Tindall has enjoyed a play date with her cousins just weeks after becoming a big sister.
The youngster, four, was seen happily tucking into an ice lolly and playing with her cousins during the family day out.
Little Mia was with her two cousins, Savannah, seven, and Isla Phillips, six, at the equestrian event.
The trio were seen playing on an inflatable slide and enjoying the sunshine.
They were being looked after by Savannah and Isla's mother Autumn, the wife of Zara's brother Peter.
Mum Zara gave birth to baby daughter- and Mia's little sister - Lena just six weeks ago.
Her brother Peter revealed how the Royal Family "rallied around" the mum-of-two after she suffered her second miscarriage.
The Queen’s eldest granddaughter, 37, spoke of her secret second heartache before she gave birth to daughter Lena.
Zara, married to ex-rugby star Mike Tindall, had announced she was pregnant with her second child in 2016 but a spokeswoman revealed she had sadly lost the child.
And speaking on Good Morning Britain her brother Peter revealed how the family had been extremely "protective" of his sister during her devastating loss.
Peter said: "Of course you want to be protective of her, it's a testament to us as a family that she did manage to go through the second miscarriage without the world knowing.
"We all rallied round and it was a really tough time for her and Mike and fortunately we all live relatively close to one and another so it was good to be there to be supportive."
The proud brother said how Zara would always be his "annoying little sister" - but that he knew she was a fantastic mother.
Peter was appearing on the morning show to discuss the Festival of British Eventing with dad Captain Mark Phillips.
Zara had previously opened up about her second miscarriage, saying: "I think you need to go through a period where you don’t talk about it because it’s too raw.
“But, as with everything, time’s a great healer.”
Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, explained her first miscarriage was doubly tough because the pregnancy had been made public - the rule for descendants of the Queen.
But she said she found comfort in people writing to her saying they had been through the same experience.
When she lost the second baby, the couple were able to mourn in private.
Second daughter Lena was born in June.
The equestrian champion, who was named Sports Personality of the Year in 2006, said her older brother Peter Phillips was very "protective" of her, as was husband Mike.
Zara’s brave decision to speak publicly about her double loss was praised by Ruth Bender-Atik, national director of the Miscarriage Association.

She said: “We are getting better at talking about what is still something of a taboo subject so it can be helpful; when someone in the public eye discusses their own experience as Zara Tindall has done.”
Zara’s hubby Mike, the former Gloucester Rugby and England captain, said about miscarriage last year: “One thing you do learn is how many other people have to go through the same thing.
“The saving grace for us has been Mia. However down we feel, she will come running up in our faces.”
