Royal enthusiasts were left speculating whether Zara Tindall was seen dozing off during her uncle King Charles’ recent coronation. Zara, the 41-year-old daughter of Princess Anne, attended the ceremony at Westminster Abbey alongside her husband Mike Tindall on Saturday. While seated a couple of rows behind her mother and her brother Peter Phillips, their three children—Mia, Lena, and Lucas—were not present for the service.
Despite the seating arrangements, Zara and Mike were visible on several occasions when the cameras weren’t focused on King Charles and Queen Camilla. Some viewers noticed Zara potentially resting her eyes, possibly due to the previous night’s events, which were rumored to have been late for the Tindalls.
Zara looked stunning in her custom blue and white dress by designer Laura Green, complemented by a pale blue hat with chiffon detailing. Her earrings, reportedly 18ct White Gold drop earrings from Calleija with a retail value of £29,900, also caught the attention of many observers.
Reports indicated that the Tindalls joined other members of the royal family for pre-coronation celebrations at Oswald’s in Mayfair the night before the event. The night of socializing reportedly continued after their departure from Oswald’s at 11 p.m. at the private club, The Arts Club. Photos captured Zara and Mike in the street as they searched for a taxi. A source claimed that they were seen “stumbling in the street while taking in all the coronation bunting before getting into a taxi home” around 2 a.m.
Despite their late night, the couple attended the 11 a.m. service for King Charles. Some onlookers chuckled as they claimed to have witnessed Zara momentarily dozing off. Videos on TikTok and comments on social media platforms jokingly suggested that she was simply giving her eyes a rest or taking a quick nap.
Despite the late-night festivities, many Twitter users admired how well Zara looked, with some commenting on her impeccable fashion choices and overall appearance.
