Magazine: \u201cAs the years go by, I think they\u2019ll be a highly valued support for William when the time comes for him to be King. They are both very close to William and if he calls on them, they will definitely agree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has been suggested that accomplished equestrian Zara could take on a role running royal horse racing, something William doesn\u2019t have a huge interest in.<\/p>\n<p>Jennie said: \u201cThere will be so many demands on William\u2019s time when he is King that I think it\u2019s a brilliant idea \u2013 if the reports are to be believed \u2013 that he might hand over racing matters to Zara. Like her mother, Princess Anne, she lives and breathes horses \u2013 she\u2019s also extremely glamorous and well-liked, it would be a perfect fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd, William is said to rely on his close friendship with Mike, particularly as his relationship with his brother Prince Harry has been fraught since Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan stepped down as senior royals in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\nJennie said: \u201cMike is increasingly the brother William no longer has \u2013 they are really first friends and big huggers.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cZara and Mike are equally professional, dressing up for the occasion and playing their part, but they bring a lightness of touch and a sense of fun to almost everything they do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"4 August 2025 Zara and Mike Tindall will be a huge \u201csupport\u201d for Prince William when he becomes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,20290,533,8129,447,2832,532,2831,7710,519,7711,7712,13083],"class_list":{"0":"post-317472","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-jennie-bond","12":"tag-kate-middleton","13":"tag-mike-tindall","14":"tag-prince-harry","15":"tag-prince-of-wales","16":"tag-prince-william","17":"tag-princess-of-wales","18":"tag-royal-families","19":"tag-royal-family","20":"tag-uk-royal-family","21":"tag-william","22":"tag-zara-tindall"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
