Another royal wedding is on its way as Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter Zara Phillips got engaged to 32-year-old British rugby player, Mike Tindall.
Zara’s long-time boyfriend Tindall her and shocked her with this pleasant surprise. The love between royal and dragon blood has left many historians wondering, but in actuality, if one goes through the days of Zara Phillips he will get an answer. She was
always a rebel and does not carry any royal title with her name. The wedding dates and venue are not yet decided. With Prince William and Kate’s wedding on the way, the royal palace surely is going to be positively different after addition of new family members.
Mike Tindall, an English national Rugby player, made his debut in year 2000 against Ireland at Twickenham. Mike Tindall received immense criticism in the beginning from few entities but he kept his ground at the outside centre position. He played the 2003
world cup final when he met the lovely Zara Phillips. They met in a Sydney bar in 2003. Tindall has a long journey of injuries and breaks. He got injured in 2005 and missed the Six Nations. He came back in August 2005 and started playing at number 12 instead
of 13. He broke his leg in April 2007 against new Castle. In December 2007 against Bourgoin, Tindall got off the field with severe shin injury. In 2008, Tindall got severely injury and was admitted in intensive care unit. He got his lungs punctured and damaged
his liver during a tackle against Wales. He has recovered now and plans to play Rugby again.
Mike Tindall thinks after facing all these ups and downs in his career and with companionship pf Zara he is much stronger from inside now. He proposed Zara Phillips this Monday at their Gloucestershire home. Tindall said he is delighted that she agreed to
marry. Tindall claims that it was his purity that helped him win a Royal heart. Zara Phillips said, “I was really shocked when Mike proposed but I am very Happy.” Both of them seem very excited about the next stage of their lives. A Palace spokeswoman stated,
“The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news.”
Queens eldest Granddaughter is Britain’s top equestrians and a previous world three-day titleholder. 29-year-old Zara is daughter of Princess Anne, Princess Royal from her first husband Mark Phillips. She was voted as BBC sport Personality of the year in
2006; the same title her mother got in 1971. She is also a Member of the Order of the British Empire. Zara was appointed as MBE in 2007. She has also qualified as physiotherapist from University of Exeter. Not only that, Zara launched her own clothing range
with the name of ZP176, in July 2010. It is named after her team number with which she first represented her country.
A number of people are not aware of the fact that Zara Phillips was previously engaged to National Hunt jockey Richard Johnson. They broke up in November 2003 and attracted attention of British media. This unsettled relationship was a real treat for paparazzi
back then.
This news of her engagement with Tindall came soon after the engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips have not decided the date yet but the union of royal and rugged is expected to be in 2011. Expected venue for their
wedding might be St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. It was the venue chosen by Zara’s brother Peter when he got married in 2008 with Autumn.
Both the champions in their fields are also champions of each other’s heart and have given life to their eight-year long relationship. Mike gifted her with a solitaire diamond nestled within a pave of set diamonds on a platinum band, claiming her as his
fiancé. Zara is 12th in line to the throne and Mike a 2003 world cup winner for England are keyed up and all set for this massive leap in.
