Thanks to the creation of businesses, the support of his sponsors and the advertisements in which he participated, the couple are said to have amassed a joint fortune of 30 million pounds (36 million euros). A heritage that the former rugby player and the professional rider have built on their own – counting, of course, a bit on their status as a member of the Windsor.

“It cannot be said that the fact that Zara is the daughter of the princess, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, and that she grew up on a 283 hectare estate with horses and stables, was of no use to her “, declared Joe Little, editor-in-chief of the magazine Majestyto the tabloid. The latter, however, clarified that in the absence of real talent, Zara Tindall would never have built such a heritage. “If she wasn't very good at the sport, she might have been accused of taking advantage of her royal connections, but she was a world and European champion, and won a silver medal at the Olympics (from 2012Editor’s note), he stressed. She did it on her own.”
