Zara Tindall has revealed she would consider moving to Australia in future, once she retires from eventing, as she spoke about her family life in a rare interview. The 38-year-old royal was asked by Australian publication Now To Love if she and husband Mike Tindall have thought about relocating Down Under.
Olympic equestrian Zara said: "Probably not while I'm still competing. It would be a little bit hard commuting. But after that … yes, I think if an opportunity came up we'd definitely think about it."

Their recent trip is believed to be their first as a family-of-four with their daughters Mia, five, and one-year-old Lena. During the interview, Zara also admitted to feeling mum guilt at times while working. "If I'm away and Mike's here I don't feel as guilty, whereas if we're both away then I feel much more guilty," she said.
Mike added of being a dad: "Mia is a fantastic bundle of energy and that challenges you as well as keeps it interesting. Lena is just starting to find her feet, but we've enjoyed every minute of it. you hope that's what kids do to you and it's been great."
In the lead-up to Christmas, the Tindalls joined other members of the royal family for the Queen's annual lunch at Buckingham Palace. Mike revealed on the House of Rugby podcast that the children have their own separate table at the bash.
