Zara and Mike Tindall are willing to "step up" if Prince William asks them to do so, a royal expert has claimed. The couple, who are now attending 2025 Magic Millions events in Australia, have seen their popularity skyrocket in recent years and are seen as firm favourites among royal fans. According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Zara and Mike have "the very best of both worlds" due to their unique position within the Firm and while they are unlikely to want more involvement, they would be ready to "step up" if need be.
The expert said: "Although they don't have titles, they obviously have the cachet of being so much part of the extended Royal Family. They have managed to use that commercially without getting into too much bother.". Ms Bond said: "They are both very close to William, and if he calls on them again (as he did at a garden party last year), they will definitely agree." Clarifying that this support would not extend to official working roles, Ms Bond added: "Not to an official working role, nor do I think the public would want to fund any more working royals.".
Praising the couple's genuine connection after seeing pictures of them at events in Australia, Ms Bond said: "Zara really is a remarkably beautiful woman, no wonder Mike always looks so proud and happy. The feeling is mutual: she oozes love for her big bear of a rugby star husband, with his crooked nose and rugged appeal.".
Zara, 43, and Mike, 46, live on Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire and seem to be "living life to the full", always showing love for each other, the royal expert said.. While speaking about Mike's and Zara's relationship, Ms Bond said: "Zara really is a remarkably beautiful woman, no wonder Mike always looks so proud and happy. But the feeling is mutual: she oozes love for her big bear of a rugby star husband, with his crooked nose and rugged appeal. I think we all enjoy seeing them out and about together, usually arm in arm or having a cuddle - living life to the full.".
