She's done the nation proud by winning a coveted silver medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the equestrian team evening final.

So it's no wonder Zara Phillips was keen to let her hair down and celebrate her success last night.

But when she left London's exclusive Shoreditch House private members' club in the early hours of this morning, the 31-year-old royal seemed to have forgotten to do one very important thing - to put her shoes on.

The blonde sportswoman was spotted grinning broadly as she departed the night spot with her nude Jimmy Choo stilettos in her hand.

Wearing a royal blue embellished neck top and black skinny jeans, Zara - the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II - seemed to be in good spirits following her night out on the town.

With her blonde locks scraped back off her face, the star seemed to be totally unaware of any potential hazards lurking underfoot as she made her way home.

It's been a busy few weeks for Zara; after winning her silver Olympic medal alongside her equestrian teammates Mary King, Nicola Wilson, William Fox-Pitt and Kristina Cook, the sports star has made the most of her success by hitting a number of London's premier nightclubs.

Earlier this week, the young royal partied alongside a whole host of Team GB stars at Chinawhite nightclub's The Last Lap event.

The Queen’s granddaughter was spotted drinking Veuve Clicquot and dancing with no shoes on until becoming the last to leave at 4am, an hour after the club had officially closed.

Perhaps Zara's penchant for dancing with her shoes off was the reason for her leaving Shoreditch House barefoot last night.

Despite bagging a well-deserved silver medal for her efforts in the equestrian team, Zara admitted she was disappointed to have received seven faults during her showjumping round, which saw Team GB defeated by the Germans.

She said: 'I messed up and I had to get on with it. They were too good for us.'
