Hitting the Surfers Paradise beach on Queensland’s Gold Coast, the couple spent quality time with five-year-old Mia and one-year-old Lena.

Mike, wearing a pair of printed blue swim shorts, could be seen diving into the sea to cool off.

At one point, he carried a surf board into the water.

His daughter Mia also attempted to catch some waves with the assistance of her dad.

Meanwhile, Zara, wearing a pink T-Shirt, denim shorts and sunglasses stayed safely on land.

Princess Anne’s daughter kept an eye on their youngest daughter, Lena.

Joined by a friend, she began snapping pictures on her mobiles of the little girl – who is the monarch’s youngest great-granddaughter.

This weekend, the royal couple gave their support to the fire-fighting effort going on further south in the country.
