The Royal Family were out in force to show their support to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their wedding day.
The couple tied the knot in St George’s Chapel in Windsor on 19 May 2018, with the late Queen heading up the royal contingent, which included Prince Philip, then-Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla, Prince William and Princess Kate
Zara Tindall and her husband Mike were also in attendance, joining her mother Princess Anne and brother Peter Phillips. But it turned out to be quite an uncomfortable experience for the Queen’s eldest granddaughter
At the time, Zara was pregnant with her second child, daughter Lena, and speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Zara confessed that her unborn baby had been “kicking the hell out of her”.
She said: “I was uncomfortable! My bum sort of slid over either side and Lena kicked the hell out of me for an hour. It just wasn’t comfy at all and it probably showed on my face.”
During the ceremony, Bishop Michael Curry also delivered an energetic speech – which lasted 13 minutes. “It was just the general amount of time everything was taking,” added Zara. “I think my face was probably caught the point when I thought ‘Right he’s going to finish now’ and then he went off on another little story and it was like, “Really?'”
Lena was born exactly one month after the wedding, on 18 June. Zara and Mike went on to welcome their third child, and only son, Lucas, on 21 March 2021.
Having grown up together, Zara has a very close bond with her cousin Prince William and his wife Kate. Along with Mike, they are known to spend time together away from the spotlight – and it’s clear their children have also developed a very sweet connection.
