Splashing in the shallows of a Surfers Paradise beach, the little family were the picture of normalcy.
The mum, trying to quieten a crying baby; a dad bodysurfing through the waves; a boisterous little girl, clad in a rashie, wanting to be just like her dad. But it was no normal family frolicking in the sun – it was the Queen’s granddaughter.
Zara and Mike Tindall, accompanied for the first time by five-year-old Mia and 18-month-old Lena, were clearly having a ball as they enjoyed a summer’s day out, so it’s come as no surprise that the outdoorsman family are considering a move Down Under.
Speaking to The Australian Women’s Weekly, Zara admits she can see a future for her brood in Australia once she’s finished her career as an Olympic eventer.
“Probably not while I’m competing – that would be a little bit hard commuting. But after that… yes, I think if an opportunity came up we’d definitely think about it,” the 38-year-old says.
Zara and Mike now refer to Australia as their “second home” after travelling to the country every January since 2012 for Zara’s duties as an ambassador and patron for the Magic Millions polo tournament.
The laid-back Antipodean way of life – plus the sun and surf – are massive pulls for the Tindalls. While the pair are part of the royal family, they have no official duties thanks to Zara’s lack of title, which leaves her much freer than cousins princes William and Harry to make her own life decisions.
