News about Zara Phillips

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!

With a £10,000 gown flowing in from New York, dancing until 3 a.m. in Windsor Castle's ancient grounds and an overall cost estimated at £400,000, you might say, this WAS an 18th birthday party. But what would you expect when you are a royal Princess and your grandmother, the Queen, is footing the bill? Princess Beatrice's elaborately Victorian-themed coming-of-age fête is still remembered as one of the eye-popping events of 2006, with guests from far and wide to help her celebrate. These days of course, Beatrice's happily married Beatrice are much more sedate. She is a mother of one and a step-mother to a second. But today, as she turns 35, we remember one of royal events of the decade, as reported at the time by The Daily Mail's Rebecca English

In the regal splendour of Westminster Abbey or St George's Chapel, several of Queen Elizabeth's grandchildren were married amid adoring crowds. But when Zara Phillips, the daughter of Princess Anne, walked down the aisle with England ruby actor Mike Tindall on June 30, 2011, they did so in the simple surroundings of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Queen Elizabeth was the guest of honour for Scotland's first royal wedding in 20 years. However, there were no television cameras for what remained - just about - a private event. The end was an outpouring of joy in Edinburgh's sunshine, as these images show. This is how The Mail on Sunday reported Zara's big day at the time:

If Westminster Abbey was the hottest ticket in Europe for the Coronation, it was also a close second that weekend. Number 25 Albemarle Street's anonymous blue door says little about it. However, bystanders on Friday, May 5 - the night before the big event - would have seen a stunning line of celebrities and aristocrats drifting into the tastefully decorated halls and dining rooms inside. This is Oswalds, the country's most exclusive club, which has established itself as a favorite not only with the aristocracy but also with members of the Royal Family itself.

It's unlikely that any member of the royal family would scrubbing toilets, selling fish and chips from a van, or serving drinks to someone. However, these were not glamorous and not very glamorous careers for a few people who were humble beginnings and married into The Firm. MailOnline reveals the jobs held by members of the royal family before they married into The Company - from working in a yoghurt shop in California to starting a PR firm.

When a member of the Royal Family becomes involved, the world is on alert. However, the earlier ones had been more personal affairs, with the actuals only becoming more apparent as time passes. We now know that Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle at Nottingham Cottage, which is in the grounds of Kensington Palace. Jack Brooksbank suggested to Princess Eugenie at sunrise over a volcano in Nicaragua. And that Mike Tindall asked Zara Phillips to marry him while she was watching television! Here, The Mail's new Royals column looks back to the days when the royals have raised the issue – whether the occasion was romantic, regal, or just a little nonsense.

He's the little Prince Charming who never fails to make us smile. And it was five-year-old Prince Louis who practically stole the show with his animated expressions as Charles was officially crowned King at his Coronation on Saturday. Nonetheless, these heartwarming and amusing pictures of a young Prince William show that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Despite many believing it is Prince George who is the spitting image of his father, these photographs of Louis alongside Prince William will have you doing a double take.

One of the wood-panelled reception rooms at Windsor Castle has been dubbed by students of royal history (pictured). A silk-striped sofa has been moved by 90 degrees, and a large white houseplant remains in a ceramic pot on a once-empty sideboard. The result has been to convert this formal area of the ancient castle into a cosy and welcoming snug. Elsewhere, the paintings have changed, and several new pieces of furniture have appeared. The King is slowly shedding his aesthetic ink on the ancestral seat of the monarchy where his late mother spent the majority of her life and where his father, Prince Philip, died in 2021.

DAN WOOTTON: In the words of the late great queen's words: 'Thank goodness Meghan isn't coming.' The Princess of Wales in particular is delighted that she will not have to face her treacherous sister-in-law at the King's Coronation next month. However, it would not surprise if her husband staged another necklace-ripping duel at Kensington Palace over the dog bowl, as the royal family's visceral rage remains at its highest level. And who could blame the Prince of Wales after the Duke of Delusion's Commonwealth-bashing Netflix reality show and tell-all bridge burning autobiography Spare?

RICHARD KAY: Hers was a tale of two very different lives. One of the poised and polished businesswoman who made the sleazy sex toys and kinky lingerie industry flourish, earning her a fortune and then attracting a knowing glance from the late Queen throughout the process. The other was a teen girl sexually assaulted by a stepfather whose violence was dismissed by her mother, a young girl whose murder was kept private for 25 years. Both lives belonged to Jacqueline Gold, the shopping genius behind Ann Summers, who died at the age of 62 after a long battle against breast cancer was announced yesterday.

After his alleyway sex act sparked a storm this week, Joe Westerman became the latest rugby celebrity to be rocked by controversy. Since finding of his deed in a tense back passage, Lauren, the Castleford forward's wife, has told friends that their marriage has ended, they have now told them that their marriage is over. At the 2011 World Cup, England reportedly partied with dwarves, while an international celebrity was left on crutches after being struck by a bus on a club night out. An experienced All Black has made news for a disabled toilet, demonstrating rugby players' propensity to get themselves in danger and into the tabloids. Without further ado, Sportsmail examines rugby's most controversial news.

EMILY PRESCOTT (inset): He braved the jungle in I'm A Celebrity, but don't expect to see Mike Tindall (left with wife Zara Phillips and right on I'm A Celebrity) on the Strictly Come Dancing dancefloor (inset) any time soon. Due to the infamous 'Strictly Curse,' Zara Phillips' husband has been barred from attending the show. 'I'd probably say no because it's a marriage-wrecker, isn't it? We don't want that,' he told me, alluding to the fact that contestants' relationships have shattered.

RICHARD EDEN: Despite being regarded as an all-boys institution with fees that exceeds a stratospheric £46,000 a year, Eton College has regularly tutored girl students. The Old Etoniennes, as this tiny band sometimes refer to themselves, have made it clear that they are no longer to be erased from history, nor from a forthcoming reunion dinner being held at Eton for those who left in 1983. About 16, the female contingent, according to me, was in Eton for just one term (or 'Half,' in Eton terms), during which they were preparing for the exam that was later taken by all those aspiring to go to Oxford or Cambridge universities.
