Zara Tindall and her husband Mike have been entertaining and delighting royal watchers ever since they first met in Australia way back in 2003.
The daughter of Princess Anne and her first husband, Mark Phillips, was travelling on her gap year at the time while Mike was in the World Cup-winning England rugby squad.
Sparks flew and years later they are now happily living in Gloucestershire with their young family, although they tend to keep their three children – Mia, Lena and Lucas – out of the spotlight.
They still maintain their careers in the sporting world, as Zara is an equestrian while Mike co-hosts a rugby podcast – The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.
Here, Express.co.uk takes a look back at some of the most heart-warming moments from earlier on in their relationship, with the couple due to celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary next month.
Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips, as she was then known, made an appearance at Cheltenham Festival when their relationship was relatively new.
They went on to marry in 2011 and have since welcomed three children together – Mia, Lena and Lucas.
They are one of the most popular royal couples due to their loving yet down to earth attitude and sense of humour.

The Tindalls have always supported each other in their careers, with both of them excelling in their chosen sporting fields.
Zara was on the Olympic equestrian team for Great Britain, even winning a silver medal at London 2012.
Mike too played rugby internationally for England before retiring, and the pair have always been on the sidelines cheering each other on.

Equestrian trials and festivals form a large part of Zara and Mike’s social calendar, and they did even as far back as 2008.
They are pictured here walking their dogs, another animal beloved by the Royal Family as well as horses.
Currently Zara and Mike own two black Labradors, a mother and daughter named Storm and Pepper, and a Brindle Boxer called Blink.
