Princess Anne’s daughter rules out permanent move despite long Australian stays
Zara and Mike Tindall have ended speculation about leaving Britain, confirming they will not be relocating abroad despite spending months away from their family home.
The couple, who married in 2011, have enjoyed extended time in Australia this year. They attended the Magic Millions racing event on the Gold Coast in January and returned in July to cheer on the British and Irish Lions. Since then, they have remained Down Under, with Mike, 46, recently sharing clips from their trip, including one supporting the Wallabies.
Their lengthy stay had sparked rumours of a permanent move. However, Zara, Princess Anne’s daughter, has ruled out leaving the UK. While the Tindalls do not have a permanent base in Australia, they continue to spend time there when schedules allow.
In a 2019 interview with Australian Women’s Weekly, Zara admitted she could see herself relocating one day, though not while she is competing: “It would be a little bit hard commuting. But after that, yes, I think if an opportunity came up, we’d definitely think about it.”
Mike has also spoken of their love for Australia, praising its slower pace of life. He recently wrote on Instagram about a trip to Hamilton Island: “Despite all the times we have been to Australia, we have never been here before and it’s been amazing.”
For now, though, their permanent home remains in Britain.
