Zara Tindall and Princess Eugenie were out on Sunday in Windsor for the christenings of their royal babies. Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank welcomed their son, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, in February of this year, while Zara and her husband Mike Tindall welcomed their third child and first son, Lucas Philip Tindall, in March. The Queen was spotted travelling to the happy family event after missing a string of engagements to focus on her health.
The Queen has missed several planned events since late October, such as the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
The monarch also missed the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph earlier this month due to a back injury.
But Prince Charles said last week, in response to a question about his mother’s health from Sky News, that his mother was “all right, thank you very much”.
He added: “Once you get to 95, it’s not quite as easy as it used to be. It’s bad enough at 73.”

Now it seems the Queen is starting to return to engagements again, holding an in-person meeting with the outgoing Chief of the Defence Staff last week.
And the Queen managed to attend a family get-together in Windsor on Sunday, for the christening of Lucas and August.
The christening at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park was a rare double royal christening.
In addition to the Queen, Prince Andrew, Kate, Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William were also thought to have been in attendance at the event.
The Queen has since worn lime green at several other happy occasions, such as her favourite racing event Royal Ascot and The Royal Windsor Cup.
So the Queen’s lime green ensemble for the christening of two of her great-grandchildren could also be seen to hold jubilant symbolism.
The Queen has long-favoured green outfits, and the colour is thought to be symbolic of renewal and harmony.
According to Vogue, the colour also reflects open-heartedness and good luck, which may all be qualities the Queen hoped for her granddaughters on this special day for their children.
Why does the Queen often wear bright colours?
The Queen is known to favour block colours, often wearing particularly bright ensembles for a specific reason.
The Queen’s daughter-in-law Sophie, Countess of Wessex, once said the Queen has to wear bright colours so people can see her when she’s out and about.
Sophie said in the documentary, The Queen at 90: “She needs to stand out for people to be able to say ‘I saw the Queen’.
“Don’t forget that when she turns up somewhere, the crowds are two, three, four, 10, 15 deep, and someone wants to be able to say they saw a bit of the Queen’s hat as she went past.”
