Zara looks alot like her brother Peter in these pictures. She looks very nice.

 

[Georgia]

Does anyone have any idea how Zara got on at these trials?

Zara is appearing on "A Question Of Sport" Friday 16th June BBC1 7pm along side Mike Tindall. It was filmed a number of months ago.

Horsing around

I like to see Zara in pictures. She is one of my favorites because of her sense of freeness about her person. Also, she is what they might say, "easy on the eyes."

Article from HELLO
Zara Phillips is well-accustomed to picking up speed when she's galloping along on her favourite mount. The horse-mad royal had to break into a run herself on Wednesday afternoon, though, as she guided Ardfield Magic Star through a veterinary inspection at the Bramham Park trials..................

Did Zara and her brother go to thanksgiving service today?I watched pics and I didn't see them

 

[kelly9480]

I don't think they attended. They would have arrived and been seated with their mother, but Anne arrived only with Tim. Eugenie seemed to be missing, too.

 

[Georgia]

Both Peter and Zara have jobs. Eugenie could have been at school.

 

[kelly9480]

Zara doesn't have what most would consider to be a regular 9-to-5 job. She was probably training her horses, though.

Eugenie's school hasn't let out yet, but schools will normally make exceptions for the royals. BEatrice's school hasn't let out yet, either, but she was there. Maybe Eugenie is doing GCSEs this year? She's the right age, and it would definitely explain why she wouldn't have taken the chance to skip.

 

[Georgia]

I'm sure she would disagree.

 

[kelly9480]

How would she disagree? Zara doesn't have a boss to direct her from taking time off (outside her father). Her schedule is based around training, but training is pretty flexible -- as long as she gets the work in, it doesn't really matter whether she does it on a Tuesday morning, Wednesday afternoon, etc. She's not trapped behind a desk.

I agree.She could go there.Did she go to Trooping the colour?

 

[kelly9480]

No, she didn't attend Trooping the Colour, either. But I don't know that she's attended that since the 1980s. I certainly don't recall seeing her there this decade, or the 1990s.

 

[lizzie2106]

I believe she went to trooping the colour in 2002, didn't she?Did her bro go there?I'm sorry to ask it all the time but I can't watch it as I'm in France and it isn't broadcast on TV

I know Zara spends a lot of time training with her horses.

Is she still training for the Olympics? Does anyone know?

 

[kelly9480]

Zara and Peter went to the Golden Jubilee service in 2002, but not Trooping the Colour, that I can recall.

She's still training with the goal of riding in the Olympics, and, from what I can tell, is doing very well and has a good chance of being on the team, but that's two years away and a lot can happen in two years, so I don't know for sure that she'll make it.

 

[WindsorIII]

Thanks Kelly!

Good for her!

I really hope to see her competing for her country at the next Olympics. That would really be great. I wonder if the royal family would all attend to cheer her on. Those would be some great photos.

 

[kelly1972]

I don't recall seeing Zara attend the trooping the colour since she was really little. Maybe no more than 5 or 6. I guess she felt that she was there for her grandmothers actual birthday which was April 21st. That was more important to her.

 

[Georgia]

I agree Kelly1972. While Zara's family is important to her the whole 'Royal' family seems less important to her.

 

[kaydura0717]

I think she just doesn't like attending these "royal functions" but still likes to hang out with her family.

 

[Capt. Snowbear]

Attending Royal Functions

As I understand it, Anne instilled this value in her (not being a "Princess"), however she really seems to be a star of overtly royal action. For one, she's an Olympic hopeful, and then her personality and visage appear, to me, to be very epicurean and at the same time not having her head in the clouds.

Of course, you might say, that she's what we call here a tomboy, or in England you may something else, but basically what it means is a woman of sport or daringness. It can be a very admirable quality and the advantages in this day and age are clear. Even if she hadn't been born into Royal lineage, she may have been an Olympian or Olympic hopeful regardless. I believe that it is good genes that gets you places above all, but related to being in the right place and knowing the right people along with the golden rule. She seems to be above all, a great lady, in most respects, and in other respects we are left to have high opinions as only Zara could garner.

The last thing that I would like to say is that I wish Mike was a soccer player, that way I could watch a match, but it appears we are left to the World Cup.
