Overview
- Zara Tindall celebrated her 45th birthday on Friday at the ISPS Handa Mike Tindall Celebrity Golf Classic at the Belfry, where Mike posted, "I can’t believe she's letting me play golf on her birthday."
- The tournament raises money for Cure Parkinson's and the Matt Hampson Foundation, causes the Tindalls back through yearly fundraising.
- She recently helped Prince William host a Buckingham Palace garden party for the third straight year, a role commentators say reflects her trusted place in his inner circle.
- Royal commentator Jennie Bond says Zara does not plan to become a full-time working royal, preferring her equestrian career and brand deals such as Rolex and Fairfax & Favor.
- Princess Anne declined titles for Zara at birth, a decision that left her without public funding and free to pursue commercial work while remaining a visible member of the wider royal family.
