Britain's Zara Phillips was given advice from her mother, Princess Anne, following a disastrous run in a show jumping event yesterday (03.08.08).
The 27-year-old - who recently pulled out of the Olympics following an injury to her horse, Toytown - was frustrated after horses Glenbuck and Ardfield Magic Star were placed 16th and 18th respectively in the 35-strong field, held at the family home in Gatcombe Park, Gloucestershire.
Anne - also a former Olympic rider - stepped in to give her daughter advice, much to her apparent disapproval.
An onlooker told Britain's The Daily Mirror Newspaper: "Princess Anne wasted no time in giving Zara a good talking to.

An official source played down Zara's disappointment at her poor finish.
A spokesman for the Festival of British Eventing said: "Her mother is an immense support to Zara, and she and Zara's brother Peter were watching her performance today.
