King Charles has always had a very special bond with his niece Zara Tindall. The latest photos of the two of them, which capture an intimate moment between them, prove that nothing has changed.
King Charles, 75, can rely on his relatives in difficult times. Since his cancer diagnosis, the monarch’s family has grown closer together. This week he attended public appointments again for the first time since the news of his health became known. But none of them made him smile as happily as when he visited the Royal Windsor Horse Show on Friday, May 3, 2024. And that was less due to his love of horses than to meeting Zara Tindall, 42.
King Charles and Zara Tindall exchange warm greetings
Charles and his niece are known to be very close. So it was hardly surprising when the two exchanged an extremely warm greeting at his third official appointment this week in Windsor. When they met on the grounds near Windsor Castle, they beamed and hugged each other, kissed each other on the cheeks and exchanged a few words. The rain didn’t seem to bother them.

As a passionate show jumper, the 42-year-old shares her passion for equestrian sports with the monarch, whose mother, Queen Elizabeth, †96, was also known to be a big fan of the event. But Zara and her uncle also get along brilliantly away from the racetrack. At public events, Charles and Princess Anne’s daughter, 73, are often seen joking and laughing together. Right now he may need these moments more than ever.
King Charles returns to the public eye
Last Friday it was announced that the king would slowly return to the public eye after a break while he continues to receive treatment. His first appointment since learning of his diagnosis must have been all the more emotional. On Tuesday, April 30, he and his wife Queen Camilla, 76, met cancer patients in a hospital in London and exchanged ideas with them.
