Zara Tindall was reportedly accidentally turned away from the Royal Ascot by an oblivious security guard.<\/p>\n
Today marked the first day of the Royal Ascot, and the royals were out in force for the annual horse racing event.<\/p>\n Today saw the monarch and his family rock up at the Royal Ascot in Berkshire for the first day of the historic, week-long event.<\/p>\n King Charles was present alongside his wife, Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n Princess Anne, her son, Peter Phillips, and his new wife<\/a>, Harriet Sperling, were also there for the first day of racing.<\/p>\n Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike Tindall, also made the trip. However, things didn\u2019t get off to the best start for the Princess Royal\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n After attempting to enter via the owner\u2019s entrance, the royal was sent to the ticket office as she didn\u2019t have a pass by a well-meaning security guard.<\/p>\n Zara took the incident in good grace, and the security guard\u2019s mistake was quickly rectified by his colleagues, who informed him that the king\u2019s niece was definitely able to enter.<\/p>\n ED! has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.<\/p>\n Zara looked stunning at the Ascot today as she wore one of her favourite designers.<\/p>\n The royal, 45, wore a lilac, belted midi dress by Rebecca Vallance during her first day at the races. It\u2019s not the first time she has worn a Vallance at the races. She also wore a dress by the designer on the first day of the races last year.<\/p>\n The royal also wore a lilac Vallance dress to her brother\u2019s wedding earlier this month.<\/p>\n Zara topped the look off with Emmy London heels in misty rose suede and\u00a0a pair of rose-hued Bulgari sunglasses.<\/p>\n She also carried an Anya Hindmarch handbag.<\/p>\n Adhering to the Royal Ascots\u2019 strict dress code \u2013 that being all guests must wear a hat or fascinator \u2013 Zara wore a bow-detail boater hat by Juliette Millinery.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, her husband, Mike, coordinated with a sprig of purple flowers in his jacket pocket and a pink tie.<\/p>\n Whilst she was at the first day of the Royal Ascot today, Zara was nowhere to be seen during Trooping the Colour over the weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n The king\u2019s official birthday celebrations took place in London on Saturday (June 13), with several members of the royal family present.<\/p>\nZara Tindall turned away by security at Royal Ascot<\/h2>\n
