A warm welcome from William and Zara Tindall

The joy of reunion between William and his cousin Zara Tindall, 43, appeared evident as they greeted each other with kisses. In a heartwarming moment captured on video, Zara affectionately put her arm around the prince.

William was also in great spirits with his younger cousins Princess Beatrice, 35, and Princess Eugenie, 34. Overall, he seemed more relaxed than usual that day.

This could have been influenced by the recent successful "Trooping the Color" weekend, where Princess Kate made a public appearance after several months, dispelling any lingering conspiracy theories.
