The Trials are one of the last events of the summer social scene and often attract big crowds.

Zara, who won a silver medal during the London 2012 Olympics as part of the British Equestrian team, will be competing in the event over the next few days.

She will no doubt be looking to repeat the success of the Chatsworth Horse Trials, when she won the advanced class on Class Affair.

Mike will likely be cheering on his spouse once again over the next four days, alongside the three children they share, Mia, nine, Lena, five, and two-year-old Lucas.

It comes as Zara’s husband Mike  is set to appear on the small screen once more, following his successful appearance on I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of Here last year.

The husband of King Charles’ niece Zara and former rugby international, 44, will appear on new ITV reality show Grand Slammers.

Alongside other players from the England Rugby team that won the 2003 World Cup, Mike will enter HMP The Mount prison and attempt to build and train a team of inmates strong enough to compete against a formidable rival, the Australians.

The other players entering the facility – which is home to one of the only remaining rugby pitches inside an adult male English prison – include Captain Martin Johnson, Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Phil Vickery, Jason Robinson, Will Greenwood, Ben Cohen, Mike Tindall and Matt Dawson.

According to the production company behind the programme, which will feature two 90-minute shows, the series will offer a ‘vivid insight into the power of sport to change lives as the England legends open up to inmates about how rugby had a profound impact on them during formative periods and gave them a purpose in life’.
