Zahra Tindall’s Savage Jibe at Prince Harry Sparks Controversy at Princess Eugene’s Wedding
During the wedding of Princess Eugene to Jack Brooksbank at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle back in October 2018, Zahra Tindall, the wife of former rugby player Mike Tindall, reportedly made a cutting remark directed at Prince Harry.
The event, attended by various dignitaries including Harry and Meghan Markle, took an unexpected turn when Zahra was caught on camera delivering a brutal comment to the Duke.
In response to a lip-reader's account, she quipped to Harry, “It's very quiet compared to the screaming at your wedding.”
This led to a brief exchange between Zahra and Harry regarding his own wedding to Meghan, which had also taken place at the same venue a few months earlier.
Known for her business-like demeanor and strong work ethic inherited from her mother, the late Queen's granddaughter did not shy away from addressing her younger cousin's behavior towards the royal family.
Reports suggest that Zahra urged her cousin to refrain from insulting the royal family, showcasing her no-nonsense approach to family matters.
Meanwhile, Zahra's husband, Mike, has embarked on a new venture with a YouTube series titled “Mike Drop,” where he will be interviewing horse enthusiasts from around the globe.
The trailer for the series features a warm interaction between the couple, hinting at a playful dynamic that some have interpreted as a subtle dig at Harry and Meghan's public displays of affection.
Critics have pointed out the contrast between Zahra's understated approach to royalty and Harry and Meghan's recent controversies, including their participation in revealing documentaries and memoirs.
Royal columnist Shelley Horton commended Zahra for not seeking royal titles for herself or her children, emphasizing that Zahra embodies royalty without the need for formal titles.
Horton suggested that Harry and Meghan could learn from Zahra's example of balancing family life with personal pursuits, rather than engaging in contentious public activities.
Amidst the buzz surrounding Prince Harry's forthcoming memoir, Zahra and Mike Tindall were captured enjoying a day out at a polo event in Australia alongside actor Chris Hemsworth.
The couple appeared relaxed and content, with Zahra exuding elegance in a stylish blue belted midi dress.
At the event, Zahra engaged in conversations with various celebrities, including Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky, showcasing a vibrant and sociable demeanor.
The group was seen sharing laughs and taking selfies, highlighting a casual and friendly atmosphere.
Following their Christmas celebrations with the royal family, Zahra and Mike were photographed attending a New Year's Day event at Cheltenham.
The couple, accompanied by their children Meera and Lena, joined other members of the royal family for a festive church service in Sandringham.
While Zahra embraced the holiday spirit with her extended family, Prince Harry and Meghan opted for a private celebration in Los Angeles, marking a divergence in their holiday traditions.
