Zara Phillips may be heading quickly towards motherhood, but that doesn’t mean she plans to give up her competitive riding and is already planning events next summer!
She faced criticism after continuing to ride horses in her early pregnancy, but now it seems she’s swapped riding for a more ‘motherly’ hobby.
Speaking to Australian Women’s Weekly in a joint interview with husband Mike Tindall, she says: “I have been riding, but it’s so uncomfortable. So, yes, I’m baking. I love cooking and will definitely cook for the baby.”
The pair don’t know the sex of the baby and can’t wait to find out when he or she finally arrives. ‘We want it to be a surprise,” says Mike. “I’m really looking forward to it, but I’m not sure how I’ve prepared. We’ve been pretty relaxed. We’ve not sorted a nursery yet. We have ordered some stuff, but we haven’t gone further than that. I think we’re both quite well-balanced and laid-back as a couple, so hopefully he or she will pick up on that.”
