Badminton 2007Tape no. 03/4/5-05-0¶/1 Location: Princess Anne and her family were out in force on Friday to enjoy the start of one of the most prestigious events in the equestrian calendar: the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire. Although she's been forced to pull out of the three-day event due to fears the hard ground may cause further injury to her horse, Toytown, British and World Champion equestrian Zara Phillips will likely continue to be a high-profile attendant at this weekend's Trials. As you can see in this exclusive video, before riding to sixth place in the dressage competition on Friday, Zara went through her paces on Toytown before taking time out to do something that is anathema to most members of the Royal Family: signing autographs for fans. Today, however, Zara is first and foremost a professional sportswoman rather than simply a member of the royal family. There was a surprise appearance at Badminton by a young lady who has come to appreciate all-too-well the pressures of life in the spotlight. Prince William's ex-girlfriend, Kate Middleton, almost managed to be just another face in the crowd as she attended the Horse Trials in the company of a young man who I believe to be her brother, James (you may recognise him in the video, his having also accompanied Kate to Prince William's passing out parade from Sandhust last December. As always, though, please don't hesitate to correct me if you believe I've wrongly identified Kate's companion as her brother {Late Note: See the Comments below for further identity of Kate's companion}). However, this was very much Zara's day as she continued to hone her already immense talents in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics of 2008. As usual, the Queen's granddaughter was joined at the latest event in the equestrian calendar by every member of her family: her mother, Princess Anne, brother Peter and their father, Mark, and, of course, her boyfriend Mike Tindall. The World Cup winning rugby star who is widely tipped to marry the Queen's granddaughter is currently on crutches having broken his leg during a recent match. Having been talked up throughout the media as a possible winner at this weekend's Trials, Zara is no doubt disappointed to have had to pull out of one of the most significant and highly anticipated events of the equestrian year. However, having already earned plaudits across the globe by becoming British and World Equestrian Champion at her first attempts, it's clear that Zara will be back very soon to continue her quest to ultimately win Olympic gold in 2008.

Peter & Autumn engagement photocall _ EXCLUSIVETape no. 04-08-07/1-2 Location: It wasn't quite the scene that usually follows the announcement of a royal engagement. While Charles and Diana posed for official portraits by Lord Snowdon to herald the start of their official life together, a new generation of royal fiancees dressed down in jeans and matching t-shirts - emblazoned with corporate advertising - for their first joint appearance before a small gathering of invited media. Princess Anne's son, Peter, and his fiancee, Autumn Kelly, appeared happy and relaxed as they faced around 20 members of the press in the grounds of the Princess's private estate in Gloucestershire. But as would be expected from the offspring of the ultra-practical Princess Royal, all too soon the latest generation of royal couple in love were expected to get back to work. Having posed for photographs, with especial emphasis on the engagement ring, both Peter and Autumn spent the rest of the day back on the sidelines, helping with the organisation for this weekend's Festival of British Eventing. And we all thought life as a royal bride-to-be was glamorous?! COPY: theroyalist.net |
