That’s why Mike and Zara Tindall are skipping their family vacation in Scotland

King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 76, continue the tradition introduced by Queen Elizabeth, † 96, and began their summer vacation at Balmoral Castle a few days ago. As usual, other family members are also in the royal residence in Scotland: Last Sunday, August 27, 2023, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, both 41, were seen there. However, Mike, 44, and Zara Tindall, 42, had other plans.

The Queen’s granddaughter and Olympic rider competed in a show at Heckfield, about 500 miles from Balmoral. While Zara completed the dressage and show jumping tests at the Wellington International Horse Trials, her husband Mike and their children Mia, 9, Lena, 5, and Lucas, 2, naturally watched attentively. The former rugby player and the kids have made themselves comfortable on the lawn.

Princess Alexia could soon celebrate two premieres

Princess Alexia, 18, has exciting weeks ahead. As a look at the royal calendar reveals, the daughter of King Willem-Alexander, 56, and Queen Máxima, 52, will have her first solo appointment on September 9, 2023: she will take the ship “Vox Alexia” from the Dutch shipping company Van Baptize Oord in Rotterdam. She then inspects the ship to exchange ideas with a number of crew members. But that’s not the only exciting event.

Because on September 19, Prinsjesdag (German: Prince’s Day), the traditional opening of the parliamentary session year, takes place. Since Alexia celebrated her majority in June this year, she could for the first time attend a political appearance by her father. your big sister Princess Amalia, 19, made her debut last year. So now it should be Alexia’s turn. “With a probability bordering on certainty, she will be there. Traditions are important for the Orange team,” emphasizes royal house expert Sander Paulus from “RTL Nieuws”.
