'So Down to Earth': Zara Tindall Finally Joins Princess Anne for Royal Outing as Fans Spot a 'Hilarious' Moment – Video

It was a fleeting moment — but one that captured hearts. Cameras caught a rare glimpse of the Princess Royal and her daughter sharing a public engagement, united by a lifelong passion that runs deep in their blood.

It was supposed to be a formal outing — a royal engagement steeped in tradition and duty. But Zara Tindall, ever the rule-breaker, reminded us once again why she's one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family... with just one perfectly-timed bite of a biscuit.

Less than two weeks ago, Zara — former Olympian and daughter of Princess Anne — joined her mother for a rare joint appearance in London. But it wasn't just the cause that captured public attention... it was what she did after.

Royal Tradition Meets Snack Time: A Moment Fans Couldn't Get Enough Of

On Friday, 21 November, Zara and Princess Anne were spotted leaving Horse Guards after attending the annual World Horse Welfare conference at the Royal Geographical Society. The moment, though official in purpose, quickly turned casual — and comedic.

As Princess Anne exited first, Zara trailed behind... but not without a snack in hand.

Yes — Zara was caught on camera munching on a biscuit as she made her way to their waiting vehicle, then scurrying to the other side in a dash that left viewers chuckling — and swooning.

'Zara Keeping It Real': Fans Praise The Down-To-Earth Royal

Royal watchers were beside themselves over the endearing clip, which began circulating online shortly after the engagement. "Zara eating a snack — she doesn't have to follow the royal protocol 😂👏," one amused viewer commented.

Another chimed in, "Both so down to earth. Love them🤩 both." One fan summed it up perfectly, writing, "Zara keeping it real😀." The commentary spilled over onto Instagram, where admirers continued gushing over the moment.

"I love that Zara is chewing when she comes out — her unfussiness is so cool," wrote one spectator. Another joked, "That's hilarious with Zara eating 🤣." And perhaps the most heartfelt comment read, "Love the way Zara still nibbling on the way out. Never have done in the old days. So I natural [sic]."

Princess Anne and Zara: A Royal Bond Steeped in Duty... and Humor

The rare mother-daughter outing was praised by the Daily Mail's own Diary Editor, Richard Eden, who called it a royal treat.

"Personally, I would like to see Zara taking on more public duties in the future," he said, noting the striking similarity between Zara and her mother's work ethic — and their quiet but powerful impact.

Eden suggested that Zara, like Princess Anne before her, could become a "huge help" to Prince William when he takes the throne. "Look at the way that Queen Elizabeth was supported so well by her own cousins, such as the Duke of Kent, who is still working at the age of 90," he said.

Though Zara doesn't undertake many royal duties, her presence packs a punch when she does. According to Tatler, her impact is "on par" with some of the Firm's most senior royals.

'It's Got Worse': Zara Speaks Out About Brexit's Impact on Horses

At the conference, Zara delivered a passionate speech urging fellow equestrians to consider the world "through the horse's eyes."

She didn't hold back when discussing the post-Brexit changes in equine transportation, saying bluntly:

"Our travel time for horses and their welfare has definitely gone downhill. I know people are doing it less and less now because it's such hard work. It's more stressful on the horses than it used to be. It's got worse."

Zara Steps Out Again To Support Prince William — But Still Values Privacy

Days later, Zara made another public appearance — this time at the 2025 Tusk Conservation Awards to support her cousin Prince William. The outing delighted royal fans, many of whom are clamoring for Zara to take on a more visible role.

But behind the scenes, Zara's royal life looks very different — and that's entirely by design.

'I Commend Her On That': Why Zara Feels Grateful She Wasn't Given a Title

Zara has previously said she feels "very lucky" her mother chose not to give her or her brother Peter royal titles at birth. Princess Anne famously turned down HRH titles for her children to give them a normal life built on their own merits — and Zara couldn't be more grateful.

"From my point of view, I was obviously very lucky that my mother didn't give us any titles so I really commend her on that," she said. "We were very lucky that we got to do it a bit our own way."

From Royal Rebel to Dedicated Mother: The Legacy She's Building

Now a mother of three, Zara is determined to pass that same grounded mindset on to her own children — and instill the "great work ethic" her family is famous for.

"Now, my brother and my cousins love to go back and do the same things, and I hope that our children have the same experiences that we did when we were growing up," she shared. "You don't really appreciate that until you're older and you've got kids."
