Prince William and Zara Tindall have shared a close bond as cousins, so strong that royal author Ingrid Seward describes Zara as “the sister William never had.” This iconic duo, born just 1 year and a month apart, has been inseparable since childhood, and their connection just seems to keep growing stronger over the years.

Moreover, Zara Tindall seems to have become an important pillar for the royal family, especially during some of its most challenging times with Kate Middleton and King Charles‘ cancer diagnosis. She has offered her help and comfort from day one. For example, she was seen with Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at Buckingham Palace’s garden party, lending a helping hand to William.
“Zara is the sister William never had. They’ve always had terrific fun together and they’ve always supported each other,” Ingrid Seward said.
Fortunately, Zara Tindall is placed in a very specific position in the royal family: she understands the issues and situations the monarchy might go through but doesn’t have the titles and responsibilities on her shoulders. Thanks to this, Zara, along with other royal siblings and cousins, can offer invaluable support to the family.
