Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips (born May 15, 1981) is the daughter of Anne, Princess Royal, the 9th in line to the British throne, and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips. She herself is 11th in the Order of Succession.

Zara Phillips was educated at Port Regis Prep School and at British Salem School in Gordonstoun, Scotland. Zara, like her mother, is an equestrian sportswoman. Zara's prize horse, Toytown suffered a leg injury in the winter of 2004, shattering the royal beauty's hopes of competing in Athens 2004.

Phillips' often stormy relationship with handsome National hunt jockey Richard Johnson, 26, attracted the unwelcome attention of the British paparazzi, and the couple's devastating split in November 2004 became sensational front page news.

Since then, Phillips, often hailed as an English rose without thorns, has been linked to New Zealander Caleb Ralph and England rugby ace Mike Tindall.

Zara Phillips has a brother born in November 1977, and a half-sister, Stephanie, born in 1997 from her father's second marriage.

Phillips' presently only undertakes royal duties associated with her Equestrian career.
