Now Zara Tindall plugs a shopping center in the ‘Essex of Australia’ in a post on Magic Millions Instagram, browsing Louis Vuitton and Prada… days after she was spotted on the high street
This week it was a two-mall story for Zara Tindall, with the royal promoting a high-end retail temple selling high-end couture – just days after she was spotted heading to a more down-to-earth mall with very different price points.
The King’s niece and husband, Mike Tindall, have been enjoying their annual trip to the sun-drenched Gold Coast, often referred to as ‘Australia’s Essex’, as part of their role as brand ambassadors for racehorse auction house Magic Millions.
As well as her encounters with the crème de la crème of Australian high society at race meetings, 42-year-old Zara has also been busy promoting Magic Millions’ brand partner, the luxury Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, with a video posted overnight of the royal family declaring the mall her ‘favourite place to shop on the Gold Coast’.
Zara, wearing sunglasses and wearing a stylish navy blue and white striped dress, looked every bit regal as she browsed shops selling designer brands for the collaboration post.

Pacific Fair’s Instagram post was in stark contrast to the more low-key shopping outing the 42-year-old royal enjoyed earlier this week, mingling with other shoppers as she visited stores selling some of Australia’s more down-to-earth fashion. to notice
It is believed that the Magic Millions deal could be worth literally millions to the couple with a long-term relationship to promote the brand.
As non-working royals, the Tindalls take no money from the Sovereign Grant and fund their lifestyle through their various brand deals, including Musto, Rolex and Land Rover.
Earlier this week, a casual-looking Zara wearing Birkenstock sandals, cut-off jeans and a pink T-shirt – paired with a $600 Aspinal of London crossbody bag – showed she’s also got a love for Australian high street -to notice.

During the slow period, she visited several popular clothing stores including Seed, Country Road, RM Williams, Decjuba and Sportsgirl.
The outing was a far cry from the post promoting the Pacific Fair Instagram page.
In the clip she tells viewers: ‘I’m Zara Tindall and I’m here at Pacific Fair, my favorite place to shop on the Gold Coast… Preparing for the Magic Millions Carnival.’
The video shows Zara shopping at many stores such as Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton and Prada before ending the day with dinner and a glass of rosé wine.
A few days earlier, on January 8, the royal family, wearing a simple pink T-shirt, cut-off jeans and slippers, looked at cardigans from the fashion brand Seed

The Tindalls have been making their annual trip Down Under for more than a decade, ever since Zara was announced as the first Magic Millions Racing Women Ambassador.
The couple now travel to Surfers Paradise in Queensland every year for the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, seven days of auctions culminating in a major race meeting where all the contenders are horses bought at previous Magic Millions auctions.
Brand experts say Zara could make ‘millions’ from the deal. The couple are believed to have amassed a fortune estimated at £30million through some shrewd deals, sponsorships and endorsements.
England rugby legend Mike is the fourth richest former player in Britain with a net worth of £15 million. And his royal wife Zara is no different, raking in the same amount from her own business interests and work.
Giles Kenningham, founder of PR & Public Affairs Consultancy Trafalgar Strategy and former No. 10 head of press, recently told MailOnline that Zara and Mike are cementing themselves as two of the biggest earners in the royal family as Harry and Meghan’s image is ‘tarnished’ ‘ has become .

He told Femail: ‘Zara and Mike are sports stars themselves and therefore have more cachet than other members of the royal family.
‘They both have a lot of followers, Mike with his podcast and Zara with her equestrian career, so they are more credible than others.
‘They are often depicted with their children and look more like a normal family than a royal family, making them recognizable and marketable.’
Australia also holds a special place in the couple’s hearts as this is where their love story began.
They met in a bar in Sydney in 2003, while Mike was ‘drowning his sorrows’ after being left out of England’s World Cup squad and Zara was on a gap year.
The couple has been married since 2011 and has three children: Mia Grace Tindall, Lucas Tindall and Lena Elizabeth Tindall.
During a trip Down Under in 2020, they even rang in the New Year in Sydney with an A-list audience including Rebel Wilson.
This year’s trip saw them combine high society events with shopping trips and beach trips, including a visit to Byron Bay.

And the royal family has regularly modeled for fashion label Musto as part of an ongoing collaboration
Zara wore a £30 bikini as she took a dip in the sea in Byron Bay, New South Wales with Mike, Prince Harry’s best friend Nacho Figueras and his wife Delfina Blaquier.
Meanwhile, Mike, who famously wore parakeet smugglers during his time on I’m A Celebrity, opted for black shorts, but showed off a hint of a swimsuit underneath the shorts that matched his wife’s.
Zara’s ‘Shelly’ bikini is from Australian brand Budgy Smuggler – and named after Shelly Beach in Manly, Sydney.
It’s perhaps no surprise that Zara has opted for a sporty two-piece, as the brand previously collaborated with Mike for its own line of trunks sold for charity.
Nacho, who in addition to his polo career also works as a model and the face of Ralph Lauren, wore black shorts while Delfina opted for a burnt orange string bikini.
The two couples are good friends and probably met through their mutual love for all things equestrian.
