The 43-year-old was photographed with her horse, Classicals Euro Star, during the first official horse inspection at the Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials today.
The inspection took place in front of the ground jury and the veterinary delegate. Zara beamed during today’s outing amid the pleasant September weather. Her outing comes just days after her £30m empire with her husband, Mike Tindall, was revealed.
The couple, who are not working members of the Royal Family, have built the empire through brand partnerships and deals. Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest granddaughter is estimated to have earned about £15m from her business interests, while her husband is believed to be Britain’s fourth highest-earning former rugby international.
Some of the brand deals include Land Rover, Rolex, Samsung, and investment house Artemis. Zara is also said to have earned £500,000 from her long association with sportswear brand Musto.
While competing at the Burghley Horse Trials earlier this month, Zara met her commercial obligations by launching a new line of winter coats for one of her array of sponsors. At the event for Musto and Fairfax & Favor, she said of the £400 coats: “I’m safe in the knowledge that I’ll stay warm and dry when it inevitably rains.”
During today’s outing at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, Zara gleamed in a £295 navy top and £145 trainers, both from Fairfax & Favor.
Meanwhile, Mike Tindall has amassed millions through multiple ventures, including his appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, where he finished fourth in the 2022 series. Zara is represented by Sports & Entertainment Ltd (SEL), an Australia-based talent agency. She also has had a deal as a brand ambassador for Land Rover, said to be worth £200,000 a year, since 2006.
The mother-of-three has also become a “testimonee” for watch brand Rolex in 2006, with an estimated annual return of £100,000.
In other news, Zara Tindall looks happy to be competing again at the Wellington International Horse Trials. Princess Anne’s daughter, 43, looked in high spirits as she was snapped spending her Bank Holiday weekend in Hook, a village in northern Hampshire.
She donned a riding hat and dressage uniform and looked focused as she guided her well-groomed white horse through the course. The keen sportswoman showed her prowess as she took to the arena on her horse, thought to be Classicals Euro Star.
The royal is a serious international equestrian competitor, having garnered a gold medal at the European Eventing Championships in 2005, in addition to attaining a silver medal at the World Equestrian Games in 2006. Zara previously won a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics as part of the Great Britain Eventing Team.
And after learning that he died in such a shocking and unexpected way, the royals have shocked both royal circles and members of the public. Mia Tindall, just a child, had charmed the world with her lively spirit and close relationship with her royal relatives, often seen alongside her cousins at public events. Her tragic and untimely death has left an unimaginable void for her parents, Zara and Mike, as well as the entire royal family.
According to early reports, the accident happened while the family was on an outing, and despite desperate efforts by emergency responders, Mia’s life could not be saved. Zara, known for her strength and resilience, has been seen breaking down in tears, completely inconsolable after the loss of her beloved daughter. Mike, too, has been deeply affected, with the family now surrounded by close relatives and friends in their time of mourning.
The royal family has not yet made an official statement, but it is clear that this is one of the most painful moments they have ever had to face. As the world reels from this devastating news, an outpouring of condolences and support has flooded social media, with fans and well-wishers expressing their deepest sympathies for Zara, Mike, and their family.
Mia Tindall’s bright, young life has been cut short far too soon, and the royal family is now left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of this unspeakable tragedy.
