Zara Tindall, daughter of Princess Anne and niece to King Charles, has been soaking in the excitement of the Magic Millions Carnival on the Gold Coast.
But on Wednesday, the 43-year-old took a break from the action to enjoy a bit of downtime with a solo shopping trip around Budds Beach, in the heart of Surfer’s Paradise.
Casual and Chic Shopping Look
Zara kept things relaxed and stylish for her outing.
She wore a light blue, striped short-sleeve shirt, knotted at the waist, paired with white shorts that were rolled at the cuffs.
The shorts, which ended just above her thighs, highlighted her toned legs.
She completed her look with plain white sneakers, translucent-framed sunglasses, and a brown leather crossbody bag.
Zara’s blonde hair was tied back, and she also carried a white shopping bag with her latest purchase.
Enjoying the Local Vibes
It seemed like Zara was in no rush to get back to the glitz of the event.
She appeared content to stroll around and take in the sights, mingling with locals as she window-shopped.
Zara was particularly drawn to a display of hats outside one of the stores, and was also spotted checking out a table of the Finnish wood-chucking game Finska, hinting that she was looking forward to some beachside fun later on.
A Thrilling but Close Call at the Magic Millions
While Zara’s trip to Australia has been filled with fun and excitement, it’s not been without its dangers.
During a photoshoot earlier this week, she narrowly avoided injury when a horse reared up and nearly landed on her.
This incident comes just six months after her mother, Princess Anne, was injured in a riding accident, suffering a blow to the head that caused temporary memory loss.
Zara and Mike’s Connection to Australia
Zara and her husband, former rugby player Mike Tindall, have become familiar faces in Australia, having visited multiple times in the past.
They were in the country just last year, and their annual trip for the Magic Millions is now a tradition.
Zara, who became the first Magic Millions Racing Women Ambassador in 2012, has maintained a close connection with the event since her Olympic silver medal win in London.
The couple’s connection to Australia runs deeper than just the Magic Millions.
They first met in 2003 at a Sydney bar, where Mike was dealing with the disappointment of being cut from the England World Cup squad, and Zara was on a gap year.
Their romance blossomed, and they’ve been married since 2011, with three children: Mia Grace, 10, Lucas, 3, and Lena Elizabeth, 6.
More Than Just a Vacation Spot
The Tindalls often return to Australia for both work and leisure.
During their trip last year, they were spotted at luxury boutiques and enjoying wine tours.
The couple even celebrated the New Year in Sydney in 2020 with an A-list crowd, including actress Rebel Wilson.
As Zara and Mike continue to enjoy their time Down Under, it’s clear that Australia holds a special place in their hearts—both as a place of work and where their love story began.
