Who is Princess Mary, the Countess of Harewood?
Princess Mary was the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, the sister of kings Edward VIII and George VI, and aunt of Elizabeth II.

On her big day, the royal walked down the aisle wearing an elegant dress by Messrs Reville. The stunning creation featured a jaw-dropping trelliswork of pearl roses and crystal beads.

The majority of boxes contained tobacco, twenty cigarettes, a pipe, tinder lighter, a Christmas card and a photograph of the Princess.

What else do Zara and Princess Mary have in common?
Aside from their chiselled cheekbones and radiant smiles, the late Princess Mary and Zara share one other thing in common – a shared passion for horses and horse racing.
