Zara Tindall's bizarre moment during Prince Harry, Meghan Markle wedding resurfaces
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot in 2018
Public focus and headlines have been drawn back to a specific moment of Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding in 2018.
Zara Tindall, daughter of Princess Anne and the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, was captured on camera seemingly displaying an unhappy or uncomfortable looking reaction during the wedding.
This image of Princess Anne that was circulated widely led to speculation about some underlying royal family tensions. Zara has since explained the moment, stating that she was heavily pregnant at the time which is a simple yet relatable explanation.
In a past interview, Zara explained ‘I remember the moments and the image that comes to my mind is the sitting through the long, formal service at St George’s Chapel and how uncomfortable it was to be in my third trimester. ‘It was just the baby kicking, honestly. It was quite a physical day.’”
During the high profile wedding, Zara was seven months pregnant with her second daughter Lena. The combination of the royal event’s rigorous schedule, the heat and duration of the service skyrocketed her discomfort and exacerbated what some misread as more drama.
Even though this incident gained a lot of attention, Zara's explanation serves to quell any remaining speculation. Her unfiltered answer showed us that even members of royalty are not spared from the unpleasantness of pregnancy.
