attends day 1 of the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival on
March 16, 2010 in Cheltenham, England.

Zara looks quite glamorous though Mike. . . uh, looks rather like a pugilist. . .

 

[ada]

It must be LOVE actually. As hard as I try I cannot see why Zara likes Mike.

It must be LOVE actually. As hard as I try I cannot see why Zara likes Mike.

Mike is an international sportsman in his own right and so they understand the pressures on each other to succeed at that level.

That is a great reason to like each other.

Fortunately Zara isn't only interested in appearance but the man beneath the face.

Zara looks quite glamorous though Mike. . . uh, looks rather like a pugilist. . .

Knowing a lot of rugby players having grown up with a father and brother who were heavily into the sport he looks exactly like many of them - tough and fit and ready for a scrap certainly not like a boxer, to me.

Mike has been looking a lot older recently. Should hurry up and get married, else might end up looking like his grandfather-in-law in the pictures!

Zara is appearing on Sport Relief's A Question Of Sport, on Jason Manford's team.

Wonderful for her to attend a public charity event.

^^^ Just seen part of the 'Question of sport relief' - I love how down to earth Zara is. Its really refreshing.

Last day of the Cheltenham Festival and in my eyes the best look
of all the three days she attended. The pics from today are really
wonderful:

Oh I don't know. Here's Heavy Weight Boxer Tomasz Adanek. Boxing is a sport where one must be fit as well as ready for a scrap.

Zara and Peter Phillips watch the LV Anglo Welsh Cup Final between
Gloucester and Northampton Saints on March 21, 2010 in Worcester,
England - the original caption didn't mention Peter, but I'm sure it's him.

That's not Peter.

 

[iceflower]

That's not Peter.

Well, I see a lot of similarities and Peter has had a beard before,
so I still think it's him.
Couldn't find a profile pic now:

* Comparison *

 

[Lumutqueen]

That's not Peter.

That is.

Wonderful to see them together.

 

[Arncliffe]

Hong Kong can now rebadge itself as The health and beauty destination. It has done wonders for Mr Peter. Good to see that he is still a good son and visits his Mother when she needs him the most.

 

[Ella Kay]

I think that's definitely Peter, too. And the beard looks great on him!

 

[Dierna23]

It's Peter, no doubt. Very nice to see the siblings together again.

Zara has given a new interview to Hello or Hola, I've seen it in both
magazines. She talks about her new holiday home in Portugal that
is planned to be ready in 2011. It'll be build on the CampoReal terrain,
a luxury resort north of Lisbon. She also talked about her training and
plans for the next tournaments, but together with the pics it seemed
mainly like an advertising by courtesy - also because the owner of
the resort - Eduardo Netto de Almeida - is a friend of Zara's father.

Thanks, Arncliffe!


Zara Phillips wades through the water obstacle as she walks the
cross country course of the Badminton Horse Trials on April 30,
2010 in Badminton, Gloucestershire. On pic 2 she's with her
father. Princess Anne was also present.

It must be tremendously useful to Zara to have two parents so skilled in reading and riding the course. Very few competitors have 2 Olympic parents.

 

[iceflower]

The support and her riding genes couldn't be better..

Unfortunately it didn't go that well today, Zara finished with a
disappointing penalty score of 59.3 that puts them down the
field, although the event continues for another two days. But
the pics turned out great nevertheless, I especially like the
fifth one, a great shot of horse and rider!
