Zara Tindall Explains Her Reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Wedding
Zara Tindall explains her viral reaction at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding, clearing up any misconceptions. Discover what was really behind her wide-eyed moment and the royal family's response to the unconventional ceremony.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Unconventional Royal Wedding
When Prince Harry married Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018, at St George's Chapel, the royal wedding was a momentous occasion that captured global attention. Unlike the more traditional weddings in the royal family, Harry and Meghan’s ceremony was filled with unique elements that set it apart — a gospel choir, an American bishop delivering a passionate sermon, and a break from long-established royal wedding norms.
The Wedding That Surprised the Royal Family
Harry and Meghan’s wedding was not only historic but also a stark contrast to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011. The gospel choir and Bishop Michael Curry’s sermon, which was initially supposed to last for six minutes but ended up going on for 14 minutes, raised a few eyebrows within the royal family.
While many royal watchers admired the couple’s modern approach, it was clear that some members of the family were caught off guard by the untraditional elements of the ceremony.
Zara Tindall’s Iconic Reaction Captured by Cameras
One of the most memorable reactions during the wedding was from Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter, whose wide-eyed expression and open mouth became a viral moment. As cameras captured her response, viewers speculated about her judgment of the unconventional ceremony. However, Zara has since clarified the reason behind her demeanor.
Zara Tindall Reveals the Real Reason for Her Reaction
In her interview with The Telegraph, Zara, who was more than eight months pregnant with her daughter Lena at the time, explained that her visible reaction wasn’t due to disapproval of the wedding. Zara shared that she was experiencing severe discomfort from her pregnancy, saying, “My bum sort of slid over either side and Lena kicked the hell out of me for an hour.”
Her husband, Mike Tindall, was also seen comforting her by caressing her baby bump, a gesture that suggested Zara was enduring some physical discomfort during the ceremony.
Tensions Between the Tindalls and the Sussexes After the BBC Interview?
The relationship between the Tindalls and the Sussexes has remained somewhat unclear, especially following Prince Harry’s bombshell interview with the BBC, in which he once again made shocking claims about the royal family. This interview added fuel to the ongoing tensions between Harry and other members of the royal family, including Zara and her husband Mike Tindall.
While Zara’s wedding reaction was quickly explained, the underlying dynamics between the royal cousins continue to evolve, with public and private tensions continuing to shape the family’s relationships.
