Zara Tindall has opened up about the "struggles" within the Royal Family and revealed how the royals cope with problems like everyone else. Princess Anne's daughter attended the London Sporting Club lunch on Wednesday and spoke about her royal relatives.

According to The Sun, Zara said during the event: "It is very hard to see from the outside, but 100 %, it is a family that is still going through the same struggles other people do. Whether they are relationships, obviously, it is very easy to see every day. We’re still very supportive of each other." Elsewhere, she praised her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, for being inspirational.

Zara said: "We had a very incredible person to look up to who is sadly not here any more.

"She was amazing and an inspiration to all of us."

The outlet claimed the equestrian spoke about the early days of her relationship with Mike Tindall.

She recalled a "lunch or dinner" date in 2003 with the former England rugby union star, when he asked her for a kiss.

She revealed: "I said, ‘If you get naked, I will give you a kiss’.

"So he got naked, I gave him a kiss and then... anyway.

"He was so drunk and he passed out and I had to leave him there.

"One of my mates had to come and pick him up. I can’t move a 20-stone rugby player when he has passed out."

The couple tied the knot on July 30 2011, in Edinburgh, and now share three children together, Mia, Lena and Lucas.
