Zara and Mike Tindall were missing from this year’s Trooping the Colour – but they’ve got a fun excuse for their noticeable absence.

Zara and Mike Tindall had a very valid reason for missing the King’s Trooping the Colour on Saturday, it has been revealed.

As the Princess of Wales caused a fan frenzy with her first public appearance of the year, Zara and Mike opted to miss out on the annual event.

The couple, who have three children under the age of 11, had a rare date night at Pink’s concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Zara and Mike opted to dance the night away at Pink’s gig and didn’t appear to be there with their children.

Taking to Instagram, Mike excitedly shared that they were having a great time in the Green Room at the gig.

In the absence of the Tindall’s, the King and Queen were joined by Princess Kate, Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Lady Louise Windsor and Princess Anne were also present at this year’s Trooping the Colour.

Proud parents Zara and Mike are gearing to celebrate their youngest daughter’s birthday today.
