During the event, Zara encouraged delegates to view the world “through the horse’s eyes”.
Serving as a patron of the World Horse Welfare charity, Zara also seized the opportunity to highlight how politics has affected animals.
King Charles’ niece acknowledged that transporting horses overseas has become “more stressful” following Brexit, according to Tatler.
She remarked: “If we’re talking about legislation and how we have gone back in time, sort of post-Brexit, our travel time for horses and their welfare has definitely gone downhill.”
Zara continued: “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.”
Members of the Royal Family traditionally strive to remain politically neutral in order to “support the monarch”, according to constitutional expert Alastair Bruce, who told the Mirror: “All members of the Royal Family, other than the sovereign, may vote. Traditionally, they do not.
“This is principally to protect the apolitical nature of their support to the monarch but also because, in the past, as royal dukes, many male members of the family were prevented by law from voting because they could sit as peers in the House of Lords.”
He further explained: “When the Royal Family agreed to withdraw from exercising their rights to sit and speak in the House of Lords in 1999, it technically lifted the bar to vote in elections.”
However, Zara Tindall, considered a ‘non-working royal’, isn’t bound by the conventions of the Firm. Her husband Mike Tindall, a former England rugby player, openly criticised politicians during his stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in 2022.
He labelled politicians as “f*****s” when former Health Secretary Matt Hancock joined the jungle show. This led commentator Michael Cole to tell Good Morning Britain that “the Royal Family and politics do not mix”.
Zara and Mike, who tied the knot in 2011 and share three children – Mia, Lena and Lucas, have often spoken about their personal lives. Zara has previously discussed the “mum guilt” she experienced while getting back into shape after having her children.
She confessed: “I found it hard to get back to it. Mentally, you feel guilty leaving your child to do something else.”
