Taking to the stage at a flashy sporting club lunch at Quaglinoโ€™s restaurant in St James, London, in early May, the 43-year-old spoke candidly about her royal relatives and the strain in the relationships some of her family members were experiencing with one another.

โ€œIt is very hard to see from the outside,โ€ the mother-of-three admitted.

โ€œBut, 100 percent, it is a family that is still going through the same struggles other people do,โ€ she added.

While itโ€™s unclear what exactly prompted Zara to open up about her family, many royal watchers have speculated that her comments come amidst her cousin Prince Harryโ€™s desire to reconcile with his reportedly estranged father King Charles and brother Prince William.

As she drew further comparisons between the royal family and a normal family, the Olympic silver-medallist added: โ€œWhether they are relationships, obviously it is very easy to see every day. Weโ€™re still very supportive of each other.โ€

The royal then made mention of her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, whom she described as โ€œamazing and an inspirationโ€ to all.

โ€œWe had a very incredible person to look up to who is sadly not here anymore.โ€

Prince Harry and his cousin Zara have not been photographed together since King Charles and Queen Camillaโ€™s historic May 2023 coronation. This doesnโ€™t however mean they have not been in contact.

Zara isnโ€™t the first of Queen Elizabethโ€™s grandchildren to extend an olive branch to Harry, with Princess Eugenie also maintaining a โ€œcloseโ€ relationship with her now American-based cousin.

Princess Beatrice also reportedly reconnected with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in January after privately sending a photo of her newborn daughter Athena to them shortly after she was born.
