Amid continued reports of rifts within the British royal family, Zara Tindall has broken her silence.
In a rare media interview this week, Zara — a mother of three, daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, and King Charles III’s oldest niece — made subtle references to the family’s strained feelings toward Prince Harry.
The Duke of Sussex, now 40, has remained largely distant from the Royal Family ever since he and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020. The couple then moved to the United States to start a new life they described as “private.”
Since then, the pair — who married in 2018 — have leveled several serious claims against the monarchy, including through major interviews, a Netflix series, and Harry’s tell-all memoir.

The article outlines claims of Meghan being mistreated by Prince William and Kate Middleton, who were reportedly opposed to her from the beginning of her relationship with Harry.
It also includes serious accusations against Queen Camilla, suggesting she leaked stories to the press. Additionally, there’s mention of a senior royal allegedly expressing concern about Prince Archie’s skin tone before he was born.
Since then, Prince Harry has only returned to the UK on a few occasions — one of them being a brief visit for King Charles’ coronation.
While most members of the royal family have stayed silent on the topic of any internal rifts, Zara Tindall has recently offered rare insight into their current relationship with Harry.
Speaking at a London Sporting Club lunch, the 43-year-old hinted at ongoing challenges within the royal family.
As reported by The Sun, Zara said: “It is very hard to see from the outside, but 100 percent, it is a family that is still going through the same struggles other people do.”

Although Zara and Mike Tindall were once close to Prince Harry, Sky News Australia recently reported that the couple distanced themselves from him after he allegedly “betrayed” King Charles with his criticisms of the royal family.
Still, it’s unclear whether the cousins are truly estranged behind closed doors.
Speaking at a recent event, Olympic silver medallist Zara highlighted that her family still shares a strong bond, regardless of what the tabloids claim.
