When you think of Queen Elizabeth’s grandkids, Prince William and Prince Harry surely come to mind.
Nevertheless, the princes only make up two ofthe queen’s eight grandchildren.
Although they will likely never rule, their lives are plenty interesting.
This is especially true of Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall (nee Phillips).
She may have had the benefits of being raised alongside royalty, but she’s incredibly grounded.
Here are some things you ought to know about Zara Tindall.
The couple decided to name her Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips.
Princess Anne declined her mother’s proposal to bestow Tindall with the royal title of princess.
She continued, “But I can’t really answer that.
That’s right thequeen’sgranddaughter rocked a body piercing.
Tindall was but 17 years old and on summer break from boarding school, Chicago Tribune reported.
Tindall interjected, saying, “I don’t know if Iwasthat wild.
I guess it looked like that because of my family background.
I’m sure that is what it’s probably compared to.”
Though, that doesn’t mean she’s a party animal.
When asked if she gets “slaughtered,” a Britishism referring to getting sloppy drunk, she objected.
All things in moderation, right?
Phillips, too, has an interest in horses, which is how the couple first met.
In 1972, he won gold at the summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.
That same love of horses may very well be in Tindall’s blood.
It’s not exactly a royal title, but it is certainly a well-earned accomplishment.
magazine, she became the first “royal” to win an Olympic medal.
The two were married in a beautiful summer ceremony in Scotland at a fairly small church, Canongate Kirk.
Although Tindall told Hello!
Add the cost of security at $800,000, and you’ve got yourselfquitean expensive day.
Who needs a nanny?
Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomedtheir third childon Monday, April 23, 2018.
In an interview withFinancial Times, Tindall apparently showed up a little late.
We don’t have a full-time nanny and Mia comes first.”
The young prince actually has a total ofsevengodparents, all of whom come from a variety of backgrounds.
Tindall, however, was the only family member to be chosen.
Although George has many godparents, their roles are more symbolic than anything else.
Having seven godparents to take on these duties might just be pretty cool.
In an interview withThe Daily Telegraph, Mike publicly discussed the couple’s loss for the first time.
“Obviously you’re gutted,” he began.
Prior to the miscarriage, neither Mike nor Zara knew anything was wrong.
Fortunately, testing ruled out any medical issues.
“It was just a freak thing,” Mike said.
The couple took solace in knowing they would be able to have another child in the future.
A spokeswoman for the couple confirmed they were, indeed, expecting baby No.
Tindallgave birthto daughter Lena Elizabeth in June.
Of course, there was less hoopla over the birth.
There wasn’t a royalpaper proclamationoutside of Buckingham Palace orwell-wishers cheeringupon spotting the new baby.
But that may have been more of a blessing than a curse, wouldn’t you say?
… You’ve got to watch it, it’s great."
The little boy wasn’tjustdelivered at home, however; Queen Elizabeth’s 10th great-grandchild was born in the bathroom.
The midwife hurried over, everybody got into position, and thankfully everything went smoothly.
During the COVID-19-necessitated lockdown, the Tindalls were spotted taking long walks in the lush surroundings of Gatcombe Park.
Eventually they settled on Lucas, meaning “light-giving.”
Although it’s a lovely name, the child’s middle moniker was even more meaningful to the couple.
Zara named her boy Lucas Philip Tindall, while Eugenie called hers August Philip Hawke.
Case in point: her engagement ring.
Fried estimated the piece to be at least five carats.
However, considering the owner, he reasoned it’s “priceless.”
