Zara Tindall Offers a Rare Peek Inside Her Home While Praising Queen Elizabeth's Speech
This morning, Zara Tindall gave a rare interview from inside her spacious Gloucestershire home. On Good Morning Britain, the Queen's oldest granddaughter spoke of how she and her family are practicing social distancing, and what life is like for them out in the country amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
"It's hard being locked up and not being allowed to do what you normally do," she said. "We are very lucky out in the country and on the farm—we've still got to look after the horses."
She also spoke of their efforts to try and flatten the curve. "I can't imagine what it is like for people in the city—but try and stay inside and keep the pressure off the NHS [National Health Service]," she said.
And when asked about her reaction to the Queen's speech last evening, Zara praised her grandmother's address.
"We're obviously very proud, and what she said is completely 100 percent what the country needed," Zara said. "I hope everyone listened and we can try and get back to normal and, as we're trying to do today, support our NHS [National Health Service] as much as we can."
This morning's interview offers a peek inside Zara's house. In the background of the footage, you can see unadorned cream-colored walls, with wooden beams and an empty shelf. She also has a kettle on the back table as well as a coffee maker, and what appears to be an air purifier at her right hand side.
In a separate interview with the BBC breakfast team this week, Zara also showed off what appears to be her kitchen, a room with a large window and plenty of natural light. In the background of that video call, during which Zara shared her plans to fundraise for the NHS, you can see a chalkboard, and a bulletin board overflowing with pictures.
Last night, the Queen addressed the nation in an historic special broadcast, one of only five over the course of her reign.
"While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavor, using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal," the British monarch said.
"We will succeed—and that success will belong to every one of us. We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again."
