Zara Phillips met rugby union player Mike Tindall, who was playing for the England national team, during their Rugby World Cup-winning campaign in Australia in 2003. On 21 December 2010, Buckingham Palace announced their engagement.
As was at that time required by the Royal Marriages Act 1772, the Queen gave her consent to the marriage in a meeting of the Privy Council on 10 May 2011.
Mike Tindall proposed to her with “a custom-designed diamond and platinum ring with a divided diamond band”. The couple held a celebration on the royal yacht Britannia prior to the wedding.
The wedding was held on 30 July 2011 at the Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland, with 400 guests in attendance. The marriage was officiated by the Reverend Neil Gardner.
Her off-the-peg ivory silk dress designed by Stewart Parvin featured “a chevron-pleated bodice, a dropped waist, and a ‘cathedral-length’ train”. The Meander Tiara was lent to her and secured the veil.
Dolly Maude was her maid of honour, with her paternal half-sister, Stephanie, among the bridesmaids. A reception was held at Holyrood Palace following the service.
The Tindalls resided in a £1.2 million home in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, before moving onto the Gatcombe Park estate near Minchinhampton.
Tindall gave birth to a daughter, Mia Grace on 17 January 2014 at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, who is 21st in the line of succession. Mia was christened on 30 November 2014 at St Nicholas Church in the village of Cherington.
Her next two pregnancies ended in miscarriage. Their second daughter, Lena Elizabeth was born on 18 June 2018 at the Stroud Maternity Hospital, and is 22nd in the line of succession.
Her christening was held at St Nicholas Church in March 2019. Their third child, son Lucas Philip, was born on 21 March 2021 at the family home in Gatcombe Park, and is 23rd in the line of succession.
