Sitting together, Zara commented: “she’s like a sponge, it’s unbelievable, the information that’s stored in her brain. It’s incredible. Quite annoying, as well.” To which Peter agreed: “It is quite annoying, yes.”

Zara and Peter shared a candid glimpse into their family life, chatting about the joy of Sunday drop-offs at their mum’s home. Peter, who is dad to Savannah and Isla with his ex-wife Autumn Phillips, and Zara, mother to her trio Mia, Lena, and Lucas with husband Mike Tindall, couldn’t help but gush over how much grandma adores having the little ones around. “She loves seeing them ride, she loves having them around for Sunday lunches, doing all the sorts of stuff we used to do as kids. She now takes them to do this sort of things,” he shared. All about those easy-breezy Sundays, Zara quipped, “We quite like leaving them on Sundays. We’ll say ‘We’ll pick them up later, bye’,”.

He said: “The Princess Royal was on the big committee and her contribution was seismic and it was always to the point, she doesn’t always suffer fools gladly and she doesn’t speak for the sake of speaking. “I do remember after a rather long-winded interjection by one of the committee members she had actually forgotten to turn her microphone off and she did manage to utter the immortal words ‘I think this person is probably the most stupid person in world sport’. “This echoed absolutely around the room and she never flinched, it was as though it had never happened and we just moved on but it is probably one of my favourite moment.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
