Many ofQueen Elizabeth’s descendants married high-profile people, such asPrince Harry, who married actressMeghan Markle.
Then there’sPrincess Beatrice, who married wealthy businessmanEdoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
The queen’s granddaughter,Zara, also married a well-known figure: Mike Tindall.
Still, a romance between the two started brewing.
“There was something there,” said the athlete.
Their relationship blossomed, and it soon became clear that they were meant to be.
“I’ve never been in love before,” Mike told theDaily Mailin 2007.
“But Zara is the love of my life.
Mike’s working-class background was a stark contrast from Zara’s royal roots.
To some, this was a testament to the power of true love.
Yet others couldn’t get over the class differences between the two, including Mike’s own grandmother.
“I’d love Zara if she worked behind a check-out at Tesco,” he told the outlet.
“She just so happens to bePrincess Anne’s daughter.
But it’s not hard for me.
The royals make it easy by being so normal…
It wasn’t such a leap for me to enter her world.”
“We’re not finding out I think it’s better that way.
“Zara always says she’s so pleased she wasn’t given a title,” he said.
