Princess Anne was not impressed with daughter's decision to marry Mike Tindall

Mike Tindall’s marriage with Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter Zara Tindall didn't come as a happy news to one royal - Princess Anne.

During her conversation with Vanity Fair in 2020, Princess Anne said: “I think most people would argue that there are downsides to having titles…So I think that was probably the right thing to do."

Dickie Arbiter - the former press secretary for Buckingham Palace, said; “It was a masterstroke of Princess Royal when she decided not to give her children titles,

"Growing up as a commoner allowed Zara to thrive as her own woman, and there has never been pressure on her to conform. She has benefited from it in all sorts of ways."
