The former rugby player had reacted to a hat-loving blogger who had shared the humorous photo alongside the wording: "When the husband has hat envy."

Zara, 41, was dressed to perfection for the special occasion and wore a vibrant red ruffled dress along with nude heels while Mike, 43, looked dapper in a smart black suit jacket, grey trousers and a red tie.

"Great start to the day, thanks to the @thestaffordlondon for having the family," he wrote. "Also great work by @westcontempeditions raising money for @gosh.charity. Really looking forward to the next four days and celebrating one of the greatest woman on this planet. #platinumjubilee #thequeen."

Mike joined his wife and children to kick off the first of the four-day celebrations in honour of the Platinum Jubilee. Thursday's events included the Trooping of the Colour as well as the beacon lighting ceremony.

The celebrations are set to continue on Friday with a traditional service of thanksgiving, which will be held by The Archbishop of York at St Paul’s Cathedral in central London.

However, the Queen will not be in attendance as she has pulled out of the ceremony after experiencing discomfort while watching Thursday's parade at Buckingham Palace.

The decision was made with "great reluctance" after considering the "journey and activity required", the palace said in a statement.
