Zara Tindall has shared a rare insight into her family life as the royal faces calls to step up for King Charles.

In a new video, the 42-year-old carried her youngest child Lucas, three, while her other two children, Mia, 10, and Lena, five, could be seen standing beside their mother during her interview.


Zara had just competed in the Badminton Horse Trials 2024 at The Badminton Estate in Gloucestershire and was seen juggling childcare immediately after her impressive horse-riding display.

The mother-of-three shares Mia, Lena and Lucas with her professional rugby-playing husband Mike Tindall, whom she married in 2011.

In the interview, Zara spoke about her showjumping performance on her horse, Class Affair, during the five-day event on Badminton Horse Trials's Instagram page.

She said: "It was good actually. I had one down disappointing but he [Class Affair] actually jumped mega because he did feel tired this morning. I think it's the first time ever.

"I probably should have let go early, I'm sure my father will tell me what I did wrong but it's so nice to be back in there.

"I just want to thank my owner and my team, who did a mega job yesterday after a hard day's work and they worked so hard, and we can't do it without any of them so thank you."

In the adorable video, Zara was still dressed in her riding gear and helmet as she balanced Lucas on her hip.

The toddler, wearing a blue polo shirt, printed shorts and a Spiderman cap, playfully fiddled with his mother's helmet before snuggling into her shoulder.

Meanwhile, shy Lena stood close to her mother's side, wearing a floral dress and a pastel-coloured cap, as Zara stroked her ponytail.

Mia, Zara and Mike's eldest child, lovingly kept watch on her younger siblings during the interview.

Earlier this month, Zara was photographed lovingly embracing her uncle King Charles III.

This caused royal fans to call for the 42-year-old to step up and perform duties for the Royal Family, especially during Princess Kate and the King's cancer treatments.

One wrote on social media: "I would love Zara to be a working royal she’s amazing."

Another added: "Her children are beautiful and they’ve grown up so fast. I love to see Zara compete.

"I would love even more to see her and Mike as workingroyals focusing on athletes. They would be fantastic and fabulous."

Similarly, someone commented: "I wish Zara wanted to be a workingroyal! She would be perfect!"

A royal watcher posted: "Need to make Zara a workingroyal. Somebody needs to start showing up at these events and she seems available."

Another wrote: "Zara is such a stylish royal and like Princess Anne, she comes across as straightforward and down-to-earth. My favourite branch of the workingRoyal Family."
