Zara Tindall
Zara Anne Elizabeth Tindall (née Phillips; born 15 May 1981) is a British equestrian, Olympian, socialite, and member of the British royal family. She is the daughter of Anne, Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, and the eldest niece of King Charles III. Born sixth in the line of succession to the British throne during the reign of her maternal grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, she is 22nd in line as of 2025.
Zara won the Eventing World Championship in Aachen in 2006 and was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year that same year. In 2012, she carried the Olympic flame at Cheltenham Racecourse on her horse Toytown. As a member of the Great Britain Eventing Team, she won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, which was presented to her by her mother.
In 2011, she married rugby union player Mike Tindall. The couple have three children.
Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips was born on 15 May 1981 in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, London. She was baptised on 27 July 1981, at Windsor Castle. Her first name was suggested by her uncle, Charles, the then Prince of Wales. Her godparents are her maternal uncle, the Duke of York; the Countess of Lichfield; Helen, Lady Stewart, the wife of Sir Jackie Stewart; Andrew Parker Bowles; and Hugh Thomas. She has an elder brother, Peter, and two younger half-sisters, Felicity Wade (née Tonkin; from her father's affair with Heather Tonkin) and Stephanie Phillips, from her father's second marriage to Sandy Pflueger.
Phillips attended Beaudesert Park School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and Port Regis School in Shaftesbury, Dorset, before following other members of the royal family in attending Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland. During her schooldays, Phillips excelled at many sporting activities, representing her schools in hockey, athletics, and gymnastics. She later studied at the University of Exeter and qualified as a physiotherapist.
After university, Phillips began to pursue an equestrian career, in the footsteps of her parents. In June 2003, she announced that she had secured a sponsorship deal with Cantor Index, a leading company in spread betting, to help cover the costs of her equestrian career. She finished as runner-up at Burghley Horse Trials in 2003 in her first four-star event. Tindall missed the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens after her horse suffered an injury during training.
Riding her horse Toytown, Tindall collected individual and team gold medals at the 2005 European Eventing Championship in Blenheim, and individual gold and team silver medals at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, making her the Eventing World Champion until 2010. The same year, after her win in Germany, she was voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year by the British viewing public, an award her mother had won in 1971. She was also appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2007 New Year Honours for her services to equestrianism. She won team gold at the 2007 European Eventing Championships in Italy, but did not defend her individual title in the show-jumping phase of the competition.
The British Olympic Association announced that Tindall would ride Toytown for the British equestrian team at the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 in Hong Kong; however, Toytown was injured during training and she was forced to withdraw from the team. On 25 October 2008, Tindall fell from her horse, Tsunami II, at the 15th fence of a cross-country event at Pau, France, and broke her right collarbone. The horse broke her neck after she tipped over the hedge and was put down. In July 2010 a range of equestrian clothing Tindall designed for Musto Outdoor Clothing, named ZP176 after Tindall's team number when she first represented her country, was launched.
