Although they cannot carry out royal engagements in person, the Royal Family have been working hard during the coronavirus pandemic. Many have been active on social media, and others have made virtual appearances via video link. The Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall is the latest royal to have extended her efforts to the cause, revealing a hidden talent in the process.
Raising funds for the Equestrian Relief, donations will be going towards doctors and nurses on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Toytown and Zara won the World Equestrian Games in 2006, and Zara created the portrait for the Horse Drawn challenge.
Equestrian Relief is aiming to raise as much money as possible through equestrian-themed challenges. Appearing via video link on Good Morning Britain, Zara said of the frontline staff during this outbreak: “Obviously, all of us are at home and those guys are out on the frontline, you know fighting this war.
“We just want to try and do something to help them, support them.
“We’re all doing two challenges each and trying to use our competitive edge to try and raise some money and have a little competition against each other.”
Zara is currently staying at home with her husband, ex-rugby player Mike Tindall.
The couple have two daughters together, Lena and Mia. Zara also acknowledged on the programme that it is difficult living in lockdown.
She added: “I think it’s hard being locked up and not being allowed to do what you normally do.
“You know getting fresh air into your lungs and being out and about is part of our staying active and staying fit.”
