My daughter Zara, the Royal Celebrity

Princess Anne opens her heart.  She has admitted that her own daughter is a celebrity – and said that these days, it ‘comes with the territory’.  Despite condemning the way the royal family has become ‘public property’, the Princess Royal said Zara, 29, had no choice but to accept a long list of lucrative sponsorship deals to support her horse riding career.

Happy Landings as the Royals End Their Holiday Cruise

The Royal Family were in high spirits yesterday when they took a walk down memory lane at the end of a 10-day holiday cruise.  Three generations of royals, with Peter Phillips’s pregnant wife Autumn carrying a fourth, disembarked the five-star cruise ship, the Hebridean Princess, and took a nostalgic trip to the late Queen Mother’s home, the Castle of Mey.

The Queen paid £300,000 out of her own private funds to charter the 49-passenger vessel, although it cost taxpayers an estimated £1 million for police, divers, dog handlers, Ministry of Defence police marine units, and a Royal Navy Type 23 frigate, HMS Kent, to provide security for the trip.

Zara Phillips Joins Sailing Team for Cowes Week

Think Zara Phillips and you think jodhpurs, crops and horse riding competitions. But today, the young Royal proved that her sea legs are just as competitive as she swapped the equestrian life for one on the open waves.

Zara was taking part in the Artemis Challenge, which saw a fleet of six yachts sail round the Isle of Wight to win money for charity.

Prince Andrew in Sardinia while  a Man Arrested for Breaking Into his Home

Cops have arrested a man on suspicion of breaking into the grounds of Prince Andrew’s house. The 43-year-old was nicked at his home in Colnbrook, Berks, over conspiracy to commit theft and is being held in police custody.

While all this was happening, Prince Andrew was spotted in a yacht in Sardinia, apparently with a woman massaging sun cream on his back. According to Richard Palmer, the woman was the wife of another guest, and not Prince Andrew’s new girlfriend

Zara Phillips models designs from her collection, ZP 176, for Musto

Zara Phillips models designs from her collection, "ZP 176", for Musto

Watch out Stella McCartney! There’s a young upstart thundering through the strata of stylish, functional sportswear design: Zara Phillips.

“Oh god, don’t call me a fashion designer!” she laughs, as she talks through her first-ever fashion collection for specialist sports brand, Musto. Despite her modesty , the royal equestrian is well-placed to boast when it comes to designing for the arena – she is the current Eventing World Champion, no less.

“I tried and tested everything. With design, the products were already there – I just tweaked a few things, like put in a longer cut for the riding jackets, so it won’t expose the back if you’re riding in the elements,” she explains. “It’s less to do with mainstream fashion and more about practicality and engineering something that works in training, but which you wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen in, in public.”

Two years in the making, the cryptically-named “ZP 176” collection (a combo of her initials and British Eventing number) consists of fleece-lined waterproof and windproof jackets, padded gilets and super-soft fleeces designed with the latest technology. The collection will span the label’s equestrian, shooting and country lifestyle ranges.

Zara Phillips Leads Style Race at Cheltenham

Mar 19

Posted by britishroyals in Zara Phillips | No Comments

**Updated** Zara Phillips has appeared at the Cheltenham Festival three times this year. The Queen’s oldest granddaughter turned heads looking every inch the Royal fashionista as she stood out from the crowd during the 4-day Gloucestershire event.

On the first day of the festival, the glamorous equestrienne opted for failsafe black, working the demure look with a trendy headband and Anya Hindmarch bag. But she did remember to show off a bolder side, adding a pair of patent lace-up heels to jazz up the elegant outfit.

On the third day of the festival, Zara came hand-in-hand with rugby player fiance Mike Tindall to watch her ex, Robert Johnson, win the opening race.

On the fourth and final day of the festival, she wore an elegant black coat and a Twenties-style cloche hat.

Zara had earlier revealed she will will not compete in the World Equestrian Games with her horse Toytown due to the animal’s injuries.
