European royals attend the opening gala of the 2026 FEI World Championships in Aachen, Germany, with Zara Tindall among those present. The event gathers members of European royal families for the start of preparations for the championships.

Sources note that the group is accompanied by the daughter of Princess Anne, and they reference Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands appearing after a prior horse-riding accident. One account specifically highlights her showing a scar in connection with that earlier incident, while the other source repeats the same core details about attendance and context. Beyond these points, both reports focus primarily on the presence of the royals at the Aachen gala rather than on separate developments at the venue.
