Description
CHAMPION SPORTSWOMAN. GRANDDAUGHTER OF THE QUEEN. DISCOVER THE REAL ZARA PHILLIPS The only daughter of Princess Anne and famously dubbed a 'rebel Royal', Zara Phillips has long been the subject of media interest. However, her considerable sporting success received little attention until she won gold at the 2006 equestrian World Championships.In this insightful biography, Brian Hoey looks beyond the public image to reveal the real Zara, from her parents' divorce and her mother's subsequent remarriage, to her relationships with other royals including Prince William and Prince Harry, her sense of style and love life, and her rise to the top of equestrian eventing.Zara's story is a fascinating tale of determination, the search for independence and the will to succeed on her own merit.
