Here are more photos of Zara Tindall at the Cheltenham Festival, a four-day event full of horse races and hats. Zara attended all four days of the festival, while her husband Mike Tindall attended two days (Day 2 and Day 3), judging by the photos.
Zara and Mike obviously do not have royal titles, but they’ve been exploiting their royal-adjacency a lot, especially in recent years. One could make the argument that it’s not like their royal-adjacency is all they have going for them – Mike is a now-retired professional rugby player, while Zara was an Olympian and competitive equestrian. Nowadays, Mike’s doing reality television and he’s a podcaster, while Zara continues to pile up “sponsorships” and advertising deals. To me, the Tindalls come across as tacky hustlers, taking any paying gig that comes their way, even if it means paid pap strolls in Australia (that was just two months ago!!). I mean, I don’t begrudge them their money-making schemes. But why has no one ever referred to Mike and Zara as having “paymasters” or “selling out the family on a podcast”? Don’t tell me, I already know.
In any case, I’m posting these Cheltenham photos because I wondered aloud last week if Zara and Mike were getting appearance fees for showing up to the festival. I have no idea about these kinds of racing events in England – are appearance fees ever involved? As it turns out, Zara and Mike were getting paid, just by someone else. Zara made sure to get photographed with her bottle of Pureis CBD oil, with the label in clear view. Pureis CBD then posted the photo on social media. That Twitter account Gert’s Royals got involved, noting that Pureis should have labeled the tweet a sponsored post, especially considering that Mike Tindall is Pureis’s brand ambassador. What’s even crazier is that the Daily Mail published Pureis’s photo and ran it like a straight story and NOT sponcon. Once again, all of this tacky hustling is 100% fine – but god help us all if the Duchess of Sussex releases a cookbook, right?
Looks like Zara Tindall has got the winning formula @CheltenhamRaces!🐎

You got really lucky then that the wife of your paid brand ambassador just so happened to have your product in its pristine original packaging falling out of her bag, with the label clearly showing.

Wow, they really think that everyone is stupid. The bottle is falling from her bag “accidentally”. Sure.
The Windsor were never known for their brains, now if it was adultery, lying, and thieving, that is a different story.
Whoever thought that shot was natural was a twat windsor or mike tindall. The bottle is naturally falling out of her bag while she was holding the brochure, yes of course.
It’s like Kate’s Photogate, very natural.
And they just ‘happened’ to be walking by, stopped, pulled out their camera & snapped the photo, and Zara just sat there, with a smile on her face? Sure, Jan.
The Tindalls have their lips firmly attached to Willy’s backside. They can do whatever they want.
And look at the woman sitting at the table with Zara. She’s looking right at the bottle. This is cringe upon cringe upon cringe.
@BeanieBean, it was an absolute coincidence that the box was sliding out “accidentally” horizontally when someone, by chance, from PureIsCBD? was very slowly waling by. /s
Lol, I have that bag. Stuff doesn’t just lean/spill out of the side of it. This looks ridiculous.
Dyyyiinngg,. How a horizontal box, with the brand name face forward of a company your husband represents, whilst your purse is situated in good form on your lap, is claimed to be “accidentally falling” out of your purse. Is such bs.
You know what ‘accidentally’ falls out of a purse (usually doesn’t happen unless said purse is tipped/falls over btw), a Kotex pad, pimple cream, condom or something else. Not that I’ve experienced such an embarrassing moment in front of people I just met. GAH
Zara has some sort of position with cheltenham. They were probably double dipping and getting paid by cheltenham also. Nice to be them and do these things with royal approval.
That whole “photo op” is so tacky and embarrassing. “Yes, my grandmother was QEII, and my mother is Princess Royal, yet here I am pretending to have an unopened box of CBD oil falling out of my bag because my husband is a cheating lout without a pence to his name, and keeping horses is very expensive!” The Windsors need to start taking notes from Kimmy K. She looks ultra-sophisticated in comparison to this royal clown show.
Gerts is a busy body but she’s right here. Anyway, Zara may not be getting the money for that tweet but Mike definitely is. Zara gets paid as a Director at Cheltenham. The question should be asked why and how she got that job since she not a horse racer but we all know why.
I think she has participated in National Hunt races.
Those hats with big feathers are not a good look for her or anybody.
I heartily concur, Zara’s hats are terrible. They don’t suit her or her outfits, another style hat would work much better
Maybe the hats are a freebe, it looks like the same one in different colors. Not flattering.
That shot of Zara couldn’t be more staged.
The Tindalls are so downmarket. Do they just go from gig to gig? It all seems a bit hand-to-mouth.
They have amassed a $30 million fortune with their hustle. Not bad.
Don’t they also live in her mother’s estate. So, no house cost, security cost. They should have made more money now considering all of their gigs. Where is the money going?
@Sevenblue, I imagine that they have investments and such. The royals are notorious tightwads and don’t spend a pound of their own money if they can get someone else to pick up the tab, but they do enjoy screaming broke constantly.
30 million?! Wowzers :-O
There’s no way they have 30 million from endorsements. No way! Not even b list celebs make that much.
Gert calling it out😂!
If they made 30M through brand deals and ads, then ma middleton is a billionaire. Her incapability to pay the creditors speaks volume. Royals aren’t paid much through brand endorsements. May be some 1000s not a big some.
1) Zara’s story doesn’t sell much. She is not popular.
2) she doesn’t appear oftent. If she is paid by brands, she will be seen often to promote the brands.
3)may be some small businesses or small amount of sums can make a deal with them.
Tinfoil just woke up
Carol is a business lady. She milks even from a mosquito. It is kate who can not accept free gifts. But carol can. Also she can share it with her daughter.
1) if carol secured a business deal like this, kate would have appeared often to showcase the products. Remember, her little dragon pizza delivery, childrens story book donation to baby bank stunts.
2) also carol would have started a new business and paid her debts on time.
Suddenly a question arise in my mind.
Is carol hiding her money????
If not, is it true she has a million dollar home. Because i haven’t seen any photo of her comming and going inside her home. If a journalist can travel to st.barts to capture bikini poses why he failed to take photos of pippa playing in her 15 million home??? Why multimillionaire gary never showed his recruitment agency to his fans??? Doesn’t his business need advertising and promotion???
I am really stagnated with this multimillionaire story again.
Lol!
I always have perfectly boxed products falling out of my purse!
This family, I cannot even.
That box does not fit in that bag and why are none of its other contents exposed if it’s not staged?
Right, it’s a fairly structured flap bag. She should’ve carried a tote with it peeking out, if she wanted it to look remotely natural and “accidental.”
I don’t begrudge them any opportunity to make coin but geez, the Tindell’s seem to select the most down-market projects possible. If you’re going to cash in on your royal roots, then at least try to keep it classy.
Between this sad, sloppy sponcon and the badly edited Frankenphoto, I think the Windsors could benefit from some professional advice from the Kardashians. Kris would never!
Suddenly the Kardashians are looking really classy.
It seems endorsements are how they earn their living. Zara has an official paid position with the Cheltenham Festival, and she’s hustling for others at their events? She and Mike are paid to promote magic millions. I believe Zara was associated with Land Rover, and some baby carriage brand. Granted Zara was a champion equestrian and Mike a rugby player, but the value her relationship in the royal family cannot be discounted. Being married to Mike Tindall just makes it all look tackier, imo. Not a fan of Mike mostly because of his treatment of Harry. I’d be neutral otherwise about him, although always saw him as a bit of a bully and a thug.
Zara was on a team that won a silver olympic medal. The rest of the team don’t have the endorsements in the amount she does. So, yeah, she’s working the royal connection.
And even at that level of equestrian competition, it’s mostly small businesses who “sponsor” by riders getting free products that they promote. Like my own coach, (who does ride at that level and in fact placed head of her when Zara ran at the MD5* the other year) is “sponsored” by a saddle brand, meaning that she gets free saddles every so regularly, and her students get a discount if they buy that brand. She’s saving money but not making $$$ the way Zara seems to be.
QEII understood that taking care of her relatives financially avoided this kind of tackiness.
@ciotog; Charles has a view of a “financially” scaled down monarchy, meaning only he and William are independently wealthy. (I don’t think Edward or Anne are that well off even though they probably have some inherited money) All others are on their own. A prime breeding ground for doing whatever it takes to survive , so I find nothing wrong with monetizing their ventures. Not in the best of taste or very classy perhaps but beggars can’t be choosers, either.
Sure, but they lie about it, that’s the problem. And vilify Harry & Meghan now. That’s the other problem.
Everything from tea towels, china, watches, to gin, are sold in palace gift shops. They sell themselves, literally. I don’t buy royal memorabilia, but for sure I wouldn’t want to own anything with William’s or Charles’s mugs on them, or anything commemorating their reign.
“, The Grift is strong in these two”, spoken in the Darth Vader voice.
Spoken again “the hypocrisy is strong” with the DM
Mary Pester, LOL, so true.
Notice that nowhere in this coverage is the family “blindsided” by all this tackiness, nor is the dead queen spinning in her grave, as it would have been if Meghan had worn nail polish or something.
Tacky grifters
Selling weed and milk and they are mad at Meghan for maybe selling jam!?!? Get right out of here.
But… but… don’t we all know how dangerous jam is when not sold by lily-white hands?
Pretty sure they’ll be the first to buy everything sold by Meghan just to go through the lists of ingredients and try to find something to b*tch about.
I don’t get it has so no selfrespect this guy would sell her for few dollar and she is staying with him even after he cheated on her few weeks after their wedding she stayed is she realy that desperate
This is tacky (especially with the media collusion), but they aren’t colluding with the Russians and people like Andrew’s pedophile buddy with this particular stunt. Most people have the impression that the entire family is wildly wealthy and well funded by the tax payers. The reality is that most of the money goes directly to the monarch and heir. The rest of the family is funded based on their generosity, which won’t be much with Chuck and Baldimort. Most everyone has to earn a living one way or other. The accident of birth that gives William and Charles near bottomless resources while Harry and the rest were expected to beg for crumbs (while also being scapegoated to protect the monarch and heir) really is appalling. The real cringe is the months and years of wild stories criticizing Meghan’s new lifestyle brand to come while Anne’s children have media assists with their tacky product placements.
Zara and Mike are this generation’s version of the Rent-a-Kents. Ticky-tacky and always willing to shill for a buck.
Haha! As an Aussie let me say that I had no idea that Z&M were here, nor that the come regularly to our country. They are certainly not universally beloved here, and are mostly ignored.
Convinced Zara Phillips must be colorblind. The rust blouse with the burgandy hat?
My eyes bleed.
