Zara Phillips Wedding To Mike Tindall
Zara Phillips wedding to Mike Tindall, the ‘other’ Royal Wedding, happens this weekend in Edinburgh.
It may be a Royal Wedding but it couldn’t be further from the spectacle of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s marriage 3 months ago.
The details are still a closely guarded secret of course, the Zara Phillips wedding is still a Royal Wedding after all, but there will be no national holiday and no live television event on every channel around the world. There won’t even be the celebrity magazine deal.
Zara Phillips wedding won’t have millions of people lining the street to catch a glimpse of the Royal couple either, only a small crowd is expected and they will be kept well away from the ceremony.
While Prince William had politicians, statesman and dignitaries attending, Zara Phillips wedding will be more of a sporting event.
Zara is an world champion show jumper and Mike Tindell is an international Rugby player. Zara’s parents have also competed at the Olympic games.
Both bride and groom, although famous, have always strived to live a low key life as far as the public is concerned and the Zara Phillips wedding won’t be any different. In fact, you could even argue that it’s not a Royal Wedding at all. Zara is technically not a member of the Royal family but her mother is.
Zara Phillips is the Queens God-Daughter and met Mike Tindell back in 2003 at the Rugby World Cup in Australia. England triumphed and Tindell was a part of the all conquering side.
Zara Phillips wedding will more than likely pass the world by with only a glancing nod of interest. In the US where Prince Williams wedding was a big hit, it has been mostly ignored by the networks.
Rugby is about as popular as a wasp sting in the land of the Grid Iron and Zara is too far down the Royal pecking order to be a Princess.
The Zara Phillips wedding will still have some renowned guests however, the Queen will be there, Prince Charles and the newly married Royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
