Zara Tindall is set to appear in her own ITV documentary which will explore her shared passion with her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

Zara Tindall has opened up on her “hopes and dreams” during a rare TV interview. King Charles’ niece is set to appear in a new documentary on ITV giving insight into the final day of Cheltenham Festival.

ITV’s Champions: Full Gallop shows Zara, 43, discussing one of the UK’s most anticipated horse racing-based events. The Royal Family member, who is married to former rugby ace Mike Tindall, explained that when it comes to Cheltenham Festival, which takes place annually in March, “there’s a lot of hope, there’s a lot of dreams to try and grab” for equestrians.

In a clip from the ITV documentary, Zara tells the interviewer: “There’s a lot of hopes. There’s a lot of dreams people want to grab. Everyone wants to have a win at Cheltenham, and Gold Cup is obviously the biggest.”

She added: “I think it’s worse watching than riding, 100 per cent because you’ve got no control over it, and you sit back and let them get on with it.”

Zara’s love and ambition in horse racing was passed down through the family. The former world eventing champion boasts a successful career in the field and was the first member of the Royal Family to win an Olympic medal as part of Team GB in 2012.
