In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, made headlines worldwide when they stepped down from royal duties and relocated to California, USA.

Now if report are to believed, then another Royal couple may soon leave the United Kingdom.


As per reports, Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike Tindall, are reportedly considering relocating to Australia. Zara, daughter of Princess Anne and niece of King Charles, and Mike, a former rugby player, have strong ties to Australia. They met there during the 2003 Rugby World Cup, introduced by Prince Harry.

A recent trip to Australia fueled speculation about a permanent move. James Leyfield noted, "During their latest Australian trip, Zara admitted the couple 'couldn't ask for a better way to start the year.' The pair's connection to Australia is deeply rooted." Their initial meeting in Sydney marked the beginning of their relationship, even amidst Mike's temporary setback of being dropped from the semi-final team.

Though not official working royals, Zara and Mike have been seen as potential support for Prince William. Royal commentator Jennie Bond said, "They enjoy the very best of both worlds.\" She added, regarding helping William, "They are both very close to William and if he calls on them again (as he did at a garden party last year), they will definitely agree. Not to an official working role, nor do I think the public would want to fund any more working royals."

The future of their home, Gatcombe Park, is also being discussed. Ingrid Stewart from Majesty Magazine believes Zara and her brother, Peter Phillips, will retain the property: "I think it's absolutely no doubt that Zara and Peter will keep Gatcombe going; the last thing in the world they'd want to do is to have to sell it."

A potential move to Australia raises questions about the couple's future involvement with the royal family.
