Princess Anne daughter, Zara Tindall calls Australia 'home' after dodging major accident

Zara Tindall has opened up about her and husband Mike's connection to Australia.

In an interview with HELLO! the royal revealed that they have made Australia an annual tradition, attending the Magic Millions event on the Gold Coast each January.

Zara told the outlet, “We have always loved Australia and it is like a home from home for us. We have been coming to Queensland for so long now it has become a tradition for the start of the year - and although the Magic Millions carnival is busy with so much going on, being by the beach, with like-minded horse enthusiasts celebrating all things equine – we couldn't ask for a better way to start the year.”

Zara, daughter of Princess Anne, added further, “[We love] coming out of the cold winter and into the warm heat, and the incredible water temperatures. The Gold Coast is just a great place to be - it's got a bit of everything, from beaches to horses and everything else in between.”

“We have always loved Australia and it is like a home from home for us. We have been coming to Queensland for so long now it has become a tradition for the start of the year,” Zara said.

It is worth mentioning that while Zara and Mike’s children didn’t join them this year, she said, “The kids have spent some time in Australia and really like it. What is not to like about sun, surf, sea and a really chilled out atmosphere?”

It is worth mentioning that King Charles' beloved neice, Zara almost had a major accident recently.

During the Magic Millions Races carnival, while Zara was posing in front of horses on Surfers Paradise Beach, one of the horses she was holding reared up unexpectedly and knocked her to the side. However, a jockey quickly came to her aid.
