Zara Tindall in tears as she has emotional chat with husband Mike

1 week ago 2

Zara and Mike Tindall, both cherished members of the Royal Family, have also enjoyed illustrious sporting careers. In a heartfelt conversation, Zara was brought to tears during an intimate and emotional interview with her husband.

This occurred when the mother-of-three, who is King Charles' niece, featured on the inaugural episode of her ex-England rugby player husband's YouTube series, Mike Drop.

The series, which debuted on YouTube last year, features the former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here contestant engaging in discussions with personalities from the equestrian world. In the episode featuring Zara, Mike discusses his wife's accomplishments in the sport, including her world championship title and a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics, as well as her return to riding following the birth of their children Mia, Lena and Lucas.

During one segment of the half-hour-long conversation, Zara, Princess Anne's daughter and the late Queen's granddaughter, speaks about her horse High Kingdom, with whom she clinched her Olympic medal. She expresses her joy at winning the medal, particularly for the horse's owner Trevor Hemmings, who passed away in 2022.

Speaking emotionally, she recounted: "We managed to get him [High Kingdom] to the Olympics, which was incredible. Trev Trevor Hemmings has won so many amazing things racing, in his racing career, and Grand Nationals and things like that.", reports the Mirror.

As she struggled to contain her tears, she continued: "But to see his face at the Olympics and to get that team medal was amazing. And to be able to give something back to him when he had supported me for so long was incredible. I'm going to get emotional."

Mike, supporting her, affirmatively said: "I think that sums you up. You always put your owners and your horses first, sometimes at the detriment to yourself. You will train a horse before you train yourself and you will make sure the horse is right before you do it to yourself."

Later on, Zara detailed her experiences with motherhood and the guilt that comes with balancing personal objectives with family life: "I found it hard getting myself back to it. Mentally, you feel guilty as a mother leaving your child to go and do something else."

She also opened up about the difficulties of regaining her pre-pregnancy physique, especially after welcoming her eldest daughter Mia: "It was hard getting your body back when you've been riding for 25 years, and then your body is just completely not doing that. Your muscles [are] doing nothing and stretching and creating an amazing thing but it's completely different. Trying to get your body back to where it was, I found, was hard work."

During the conversation, Zara Tindall revealed her aspirations for future Olympic glory, telling husband Mike: "I mean, I'd love to win an Olympic gold so that's probably driving me at the moment. I'd love to go to another Olympics."
