News about Zara Phillips

Mike Tindall enjoyed a final weekend away before he married Zara Phillips in 2011, but the Royal Family let him know they had read all about it.  The former England rugby player's antics during his stag do in Florida hit the news after he was seen horsing around with his friends and racked up a jaw-dropping bar bill. When Mike, who turns 46 years old today, returned home members of his fiancée's family commented on his fun, he previously revealed on JOE UK's House of Rugby. 

As a universally famous princess who is mother to the future King, Kate Middleton has more than a little bit in common with the late Princess Diana. Kate, the first Princess of Wales since the tragic death of Diana in 1997, has strived to emulate her late mother-in-law's passionate work for charitable causes. And another shared trait is their love for their children and other youngsters, as videos filmed decades apart reveal. In a clip from 1984, Princess Diana can be seen holding her youngest son Prince Harry during his christening party at Windsor Castle. Diana is seen trying to beckon over her three-year-old niece Zara Phillips. She shouts, 'Zara!', and asks someone nearby, 'can you get Zara?', before saying her name again as she beckons her over with her hand. Three decades later, Prince William and Kate brought Prince George and Princes Charlotte on their royal tour of Canada. At a party for military families, Kate was filmed petting a dog. The clip shows her turning around and calling out: 'Look Charlotte, Charlotte look,' to try and get her daughter's attention.

Zara Phillips shares her mother's love of horses. She won a silver medal in the three-day equestrian event at the 2012 London Olympics, riding 11-year-old High Kingdom (left, on High Kingdom in 2018). King George V kept a parrot named Charlotte (inset top, with Princess Elizabeth) who would even eat at the dinner table. King Charles loved his Jack Russell Tigga, who died in 2002 aged 18. Queen Elizabeth (pictured right with one of her corgis at Balmoral in 1952) kept corgis for most of her life and was first introduced to the breed when her father bought the Princess and her younger sister Princess Margaret a Pembrokeshire Welsh Corgi named Dookie when she was seven

The rocker famous for his hell-raising antics has been quietly preparing for the much-hyped Oasis reunion in the spectacular Cotswolds bolthole that was formerly owned by a baron. Some might say the castle-like gothic Manor House is half the world away from the cramped council house in a gritty part of Manchester where the singer grew up and shared a bedroom with older brother Noel. The feuding siblings would certainly not be getting under each other's feet in the tranquil surroundings of the grand Grade II-listed Victorian pile near Stroud in Gloucestershire. The 16,000 square foot property has 11 bedrooms including a 'principal suite' on the first floor featuring a grand bedroom, central bathroom and fully fitted dressing room.

While dressed in a stunning Jasper Conran gown and aided by her bridesmaid Zara Phillips (inset), Sarah Armstrong-Jones married her actor beau 30 years ago today. The daughter of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon met actor Daniel Chatto while working with her father on the film Heat and Dust in India in 1982. Their public appearances together began in 1986 with gallery openings and other events, before the couple announced their engagement earlier in 1994. At their wedding in the small St Stephen Walbrook Church, near St Paul's Cathedral, Lady Sarah and Mr Chatto were honoured by the presence of close family, including the Queen (inset), Prince Philip and Princess Margaret (left with Lord Snowdon). Although many eyes might have been on the warring husband and wife Prince Charles and Princess Diana - who arrived 45 seconds apart - Sarah and her stunning outfit rightly received attention too.

She displayed both her elegance and her thriftiness at this year's Trooping the Colour by opting to re-wear her stunning ensemble from the King's Coronation. Lady Louise Windsor, the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, chose the same Suzannah London floral dress that turned heads at Westminster Abbey last year. Now, leading celebrity stylist Alex Longmore - who has worked with Joan Collins, Jerry Hall and Louise's cousin Zara Phillips - has said the 20-year-old is an 'English rose that is blossoming'. She added to MailOnline: 'Lady Louise isn't trying to make statement, she is aristocratic and not fashion conscious. It is intimidating stepping out as a member of the royal family and she has been doing it tactfully with a slow progression as she gains confidence.' Her Trooping the Colour outing was just one example of how Louise is emerging as a new fashion icon of the Royal Family. The young royal, once seen in simple frocks and sensible shoes, now often dazzles in chic dresses and elegant ensembles that highlight her blossoming sense of style - as I highlight below.

Royal weddings have captivated the public imagination for centuries. As a case in point, the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton (right, arriving with her mother Carole and Prince Harry) at Westminster Abbey in 2011 was watched by a record two billion people worldwide. But a significant amount of preparation was dedicated to ensure everything ran seamlessly, from the vows to the military procession. Like many other couples, William and Kate attended multiple rehearsals before their momentous wedding day. Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer had an initial run-through for their July 1981 wedding on June 12. The final practice came on July 27 (above left). Zara Phillips married rugby star Mike Tindall on July 30, 2011, at Canongate Kirk, a historic church on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. The day before, the couple (centre), dressed casually in jeans, attended a run-through with their families.

Her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was recognised for her impactful style choices. And Princess Anne , known as the most industrious royal, has become well-known for repurposing her favourite clothing. The 73-year-old royal has recycled a number of coats, dresses, hats and handbags over the years - some of which she has owned for decades. Not only does Anne re-wear pieces dating back to the mid-seventies, but she also dusts off identical outfits, often with the same jewellery and shoes. When asked about her habit of recycling, she once said: 'A good suit goes on for ever. If it is properly made and has a classic look, you can wear it ad infinitum. The economy was bred into me.'

After announcing her engagement to rugged adventurer Ross Turner it seems one time Burberry model Rosie Tapner is already saying: 'Get Me Out Of Here!' Thankfully however, that's only because she themed her hen party around I'm A Celebrity ... As her big day draws closer, the 28-year-old, headed into the English countryside with a bunch of pals and family members, above, to tackle challenges based on the ITV show. 'What a hen do!' says adventure-loving horse-racing TV presenter Rosie. 'The most incredible day and night, totally I'm A Celebrity themed and totally bonkers and brilliant. 'Some epic games to win stars (just like on the show). The level of detail was incredible, I really feel like I've done my time in the jungle.'

The grand opening of Royal Ascot was a truly heartwarming experience, writes REBEKAH ABSALOM (inset top). Arriving at the Berkshire racecourse for the first time, I immediately made my way to the parade ring to secure a front-row view of the famous carriage procession. King Charles and Queen Camilla (top left) were the first to arrive, accompanied by their close friends, the Duke and Duchess of Wellington. There was some uncertainty regarding Charles's attendance due to ongoing cancer treatment, but it was encouraging see him looking well and waving to the jubilant crowd. Although I had previously seen the royal couple at Sandringham Flower Show in 2022, there was something profoundly moving about witnessing them in person, especially considering Charles's ongoing cancer treatment. As the second carriage approached, I was pleasantly surprised to see Lady Gabriella Windsor seated beside Princess Anne (bottom left). On the opposite side were Anne's son, Peter Phillips, and John Warren, the late Queen Elizabeth's racing manager, who now oversees the King's horses. Lady Gabriella, displaying resilience after the tragic loss of her husband Thomas Kingston in February, was making a second appearance in a matter of days after her outing at Trooping the Colour at the weekend. It was heartwarming to see the support she received from other royals, including a bear hug from Zara Phillips.

Queen Elizabeth II was Britain's longest-reigning monarch who left a legacy that will last for centuries. Her Late Majesty was on the throne for more than 70 years and her death in September 2022 prompted an outpouring of grief among millions. And both during her life and her after her death, members of the Queen's family honoured her through thoughtfully chosen jewels and accessories. Pictured: Kate wore the Queen's Japanese pearl choker at her funeral (left) in September 2022; Camilla (centre) wore the Belgian Sapphire Tiara at a state banquet at Buckingham Palace in 202; the Queen's pearl earrings were chosen by Kate (right) when she commemorated the first anniversary of her death last year.

In a world where the royals are often seen as the epitome of luxury and exclusivity, it's refreshing to see them wearing accessible high street brands. They sometimes choose items that cost less than £100, yet are still royal worthy. The Princess of Wales (inset right) has previously opted for affordable retailer & Other Stories, the Duchess of Edinburgh (second from left) loves Spanish brand Zara and Meghan has chosen Banana Republic (second from right). Spain's Queen Letizia (left) has worn a Massimo Dutti dress on five occasions, whilst Sweden's Princess Victoria (right) likes budget brand & Other Stories. Zara Phillips (inset) has worn Monsoon in the past. Embracing high street fashion not only humanises the royals but also has a profound impact on the fashion industry.

It was one of the feel-good moments of the decade - the union of Prince William, handsome heir to the throne, and elegant commoner Catherine Middleton on April 29, 2011. Even the British weather agreed, with the clouds parting has the new husband and wife emerged from Westminster Abbey to greet the public - and found themselves bathed in golden spring sunshine. Many of us still have fond memories of those moments. And today, on the anniversary of the Waleses' wedding, we hope to jog a few of those with this A-Z of a glorious occasion.

As the fourth in line to the British throne turned six today, FEMAIL takes a look at how the young royal emulates William, 42, despite his mischievous public demeanour compared to his more poised dad. Nostalgic pictures of King Charles's eldest son as child perfectly capture him in all his boyhood mayhem - which has clearly been passed down to his own son. Louis looked every inch the smart young royal in his birthday portrait with Kate Middleton choosing a smart casual outfit for her son - sweetly echoing William's wardrobe.

OLIVIA DEAN: Queen Camilla, Daphne du Maurier, Zara Phillips, Princess Diana, Princess Diana... and Millie Mackintosh of TV's Made in Chelsea, Millie Mackintosh. No, not the guest list for the strangest women-only dinner party, but a select group of prestigious former Girls In Pearls, as featured in Country Life magazine. And now I'm set to enter their ranks for the highest honour in posho publishing, with my own 'frontispiece' in this book of the muddy-wellies set.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, and cousin Mia Tindall have arrived outside the morning church service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk. The young royals appeared relaxed as they mingled with the public outside the ceremony, with George and Charlotte seen affably chatting with citizens of the public.

According to reports, Celebrity Big Brother chiefs are considering offering a massive royal £500,000 to be included in the forthcoming series of the show. Big Brother, the reality TV behemoth, returned to screens on ITV2 in October this year after being axed from Channel 5, five years ago in 2018. And ITV executives are expected to be keen to sign the royal in order to draw in large audiences.

It's one of the most important wedding questions for the royals as well as the majority of us. What song will you choose for your first dance? Princess Eugenie made the correct decision when she took the floor with Jack Brookbank. And there was a sentimental justification for her decision, as she revealed when appearing on 'Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time' podcast.

The 30-year-old was instrumental in the Lionesses' victory over the Women's World Cup in the final and was rewarded with the Golden Glove. In seven matches, Earps was on full throttle for Sarina Wiegman's team's tournament, winning three clean sheets and conceding only four goals. She also made what seemed to be a crucial penalty save in the closing stages of August's final in Perth, but England finished runners-up to Spain. The Sunday Times' Ben Taylor said: 'Mary Earps' appearance at the 2023 Football World Cup solidified her position as one of the game's best goalkeepers.'

Mike Tindall is one of several reasons why you might guess it. Of course, he is the husband of Zara Phillips and Anne's son-in-law. Mike, who will be 45 today, has appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Though sports fans are renowned for his services as a member of England's 2003 World Cup-winning Rugby Union team, athletes are well-known for his contributions. Mike Tindall, on the other hand, is regarded as a devoted family man and a mediocre dancer.

Their special bond has existed since the start of time and has been captured in hundreds of photographs throughout the years. However, royal watchers were taken aback by William's humour when he told a podcast that his cousin Zara's victory in equestrian competition was the only time he'd been moved to tears while watching sport. Mike Tindall, Zara Phillips' husband, was admitted earlier this month when he participated in The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby, a rugby show hosted by rugby stars, including Zara Phillips' husband Mike Tindall.

JENNY JOHNSTON: Sometimes the path to true love really does run smoothly. Roger Hawes is describing how he met his wife, and it's the most straightforward happily-everafter tale you've ever heard. 'Jo head-hunted me,' the narrator says. "I was a bit late on the uptake; sums me up, really," she told me later that after I'd been playing football, she'd found me in the pub, and said, "oh, he's nice." She was only 18 years old at the time.' I was six years old at the time. I thought I'd be home one night, but we ended up in a nightclub. We began dancing, then we gazed at each other and started kissing, and it was likely that we had kissed for two hours.'

Princes Anne from her youth, as well as photos of the King's sister in her late teens and early twenties, have gone wild on Facebook. "We will always remember Princess Anne as the dazzling horsewoman created in the image of her magnificent mother," one person wrote on X, the website that was previously known as Twitter.'

According to a recent survey, she is one of the most popular members of the Royal Family today. As the Princess Royal, she and her brother, Camilla, William and Kate, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are all key players in promoting the monarchy. Princess Anne's no nonsense approach to work and life in general seems to be universally lauded. It's easy to forget that she was once regarded as something of a royal wild child - who embarrassed her parents with blue language and speeding fines!
