I don't know about your Hollywood movie preferences, but I didn't see many movies before I was 18 - maybe 10 movies or so, I'm 33 now, but there is this Western called, "Silverado". I grew up on this movie. Anyway, one of the actors says something along the lines of "Whoa Fella" to stop his horse. You know, he's sees something and slows down - I believe this to be a common phrase in a number of Westerns.

I don't think that Zara would use this phrase, but then again...

I would.

Zara masters this Barbara Streisand/early Princess Anne look effortlessly. There are several photos of Zara doing this. I think the ultimate Zara photo will be when they focus on her eyes and complexion. I'm so proud to say that none of her photos have yet revealed her eyes the way she revealed them to me when she was looking at me all those years ago.

That picture is absolutely amazing. I don't know about anyone else, but I was immediately drawn to her eyes. They pop out and the contrast between her complexion and her jacket/hat really brings out her eyes.

I too was drawn to her eyes. They're beautiful and she looks stunning in this new photo. I love black and white photos they're classic and it really suits Zara. She gets more beautiful the older she gets.

There's a lot of Margaret in there and I thought she was rather beautiful!

Thanks for the pictures Zara is my absolute favourite among the young generation of royals who are somewhere in the line to the throne but will never reign. She is one of the few who have actually done something meaningful with their lives and found their way. Plus, Zara (and her boyfriend) are very "normal" hands on people who work hard for what they love (their sport) and it's great that at least Zara has made it to the top of her profession. I hope she does well in Bejing and I think that she is a great ambassador for the monarchy!

Default Zara looked happy

How happy Ms. Phillips is...trouble for us who think that Mike and Zara will split.

Thank you iceflower. I went to Cheltenham yesterday and saw them, they are such a nice couple. Princess Anne did the Gold Cup presentation; it's nice that Anne and her family are following the tradition of Queen Mum who was a big fan of National Hunt racing whilst HM is more often present at flat races. Having said that, one of HM's horses almost won one of the races on Thursday but was beaten shortly before the finish line! She probably wasn't amused

By cross referencing the number Zara is wearing in those photos with this results site, the horse was Red Baron. He got a 2nd.

Default Writing Zara a letter

I was thinking about writing Zara a good luck letter if she were chosen to go to the Olympics. If I were to write a letter would I write to Gatcombe Park, like the big house where Anne lives or somewhere else?
Please!

Default I've actually been contacted by Zara, herself.

Today, I was contacted by Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips through email from a website that I should not divulge on the Royal Forums. Don't even try to get it from me though, because how would I know if you would publish it? The email address, that is...

Wow, that sounds cool, but dirty at the the same time. But, why would I publish the e-mail for the whole world to see. I care to much about other's privacy.

Cool

Mike and Zara seemed to have been drunk and behaved bad in Cheltenham or so.

He was arrested for drink driving and she fell off a chair and hit her head Not sure about Zara as I believe she competed shortly after Cheltenham but Mike ... those rugby players love to binge. I still recall Gavin Henson being arrested on a train from London to Cardiff because of indecent behaviour caused by alcohol.
