As far as royals go, Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara, and her husband Mike Tindall are relatively normal. Although she is a royal by birth, Zara doesn’t have a royal title. As a result, she has had more freedom than some of the other royal grandchildren. Mike Tindall, a former rugby player for England, even appeared in the 2022 season of the popular reality series “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here,” something that other members of the royal family would never be permitted to do.
So, where do these modest royals call home? Well, when the couple announced their engagement in 2010, it was outside their Cheltenham villa. The property was worth £1.2 million when they offloaded it in 2013, per Hello!, but why did they leave the beautiful Grade II townhouse in the first place?
It’s hard to imagine a reason for it, considering it boasts 5,000 square feet … until you realize where they ended up. Zara, Mike, and their three children currently live at a property on Gatcombe Park, Princess Anne’s estate. Zara actually grew up there and currently trains her racehorses there, so it makes perfect sense. Considering just how large Gatcombe Park is, it’s unlikely living with the in-laws is too much of an issue for Mike. It also has the added benefit of allowing the children to make the most of the sprawling outdoor space, something both their mother and grandmother have always treasured.
