Zara Tindall, 39, is a member of the British Royal Family. She’s first cousins to Prince Harry and Prince William, and she’s godmother to William’s eldest son, Prince George.
As the daughter of a Princess Royal, Zara and her older brother Peter weren’t given any royal titles at birth. Therefore, she’s not a Princess.
However, as Zara has stated various times, she’s happy that she grew up without a title.
“I’m very lucky that both my parents decided to not use the title, and we grew up and did all the things that gave us the opportunity to do,” she told The Times.
Speaking to The Sun, former Buckingham Palace press secretary Dickie Arbiter shared why Princess Anne chose not to give her children titles.
“It was a masterstroke of the Princess Royal when she decided not to give her children titles,” he shared.
“Growing up as a commoner allowed Zara to thrive as her own woman, and there has never been pressure on her to conform. She has benefited from it in all sorts of ways,” he added.
Zara is not on the civil list like Prince William. Instead, she has to earn a living.
