Princess Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry’s emotional reactions to Zara Tindall’s Olympic win giving her desire accolades
It was a very proud moment for the royals at the London 2012 Olympics
Zara Tindall was cheered on by supportive friends and family as she took home a silver medal in team eventing at the London 2012 Olympics, including her cousins, Prince William and his wife, Kate, Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
The Games took place a year after Zara married rugby star Mike Tindall, who shared updates on his wife’s performance throughout her competitions on Twitter.
Eventing combines the discipline of dressage with the endurance of cross-country and skill of show jumping.
Zara, who is a former European and World eventing champion, won a silver medal alongside team members, William Fox-Pitt, Mary King, Nicola Wilson and Tina Cook in front of spectators at Greenwich Park
After their success, she said: “It’s been a real honour to ride with everyone. We’ve had an amazing week.
It’s been great, an unreal competition, and when you get one of these [medals] put round your neck, it brings it back to you and you realise everything was worth it.”
Take a look back at all the reactions from the likes of William, Kate and Harry in the crowd after Zara and her team’s performance.
There were huge cheers from Autumn Kelly (the then wife of Zara’s brother, Peter), Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, William, Kate and Harry as it was announced that Zara’s team had taken home the silver. The cousins had been in Greenwich Park to watch Zara in action over the course of three days
