Mia was dressed in a pale blue playsuit and cute cream sunhat to protect her head from the sun.

Just as Zara is riding high, husband Mike is also at an exciting point in his career. The former England rugby champion, who played centre, is in discussions about how it will pan out.
As his current contract at the Gloucester club ends in July, he told the Telegraph that he is 'in limbo.'
The player said: 'The only certainty at the moment is that Nigel’s [Davies, former head coach] departure has put everything up in the air.
'It’s almost put me back to where we were two years ago.'
