Zara Tindall recently recounted a memorable and somewhat messy encounter with her cousin, Prince William.

Tindall also spoke about the similarities between rugby and eventing. She believes that individuals involved in both sports share similar mindsets and are accustomed to dealing with physical impacts and injuries.
