Sarah, Duchess of York, interrupted her summer break to share a sweet photo alongside her son-in-law, Edoardo Mapelli-Mozzi.

Taking to her Instagram account, Prince Andrew's ex-wife, 64, was beaming as she stood next to Olympian Tommy Fleetwood, while Edoardo could be seen in the background, donning a vibrant blue linen shirt and grey trousers. Meanwhile, Sarah playfully bit what appeared to be Tommy's silver medal from this year's games.

Sarah looked radiant in the candid snap, wearing a black summer dress adorned with colorful white flowers. Her vibrant red tresses were swept back off her face in a ‘half-up, half-down’ style. Completing her look, Sarah added a pair of stylish silver loafers.

"I think Granny is happiest there. She really, really loves the Highlands... Walks, picnics, dogs—lots of dogs, there are always dogs! And people coming in and out all the time. Family-wise, we're all there, so it's a lovely base for Granny and Grandpa, and for us to come and see them up there, where you just have room to breathe and run."
