Britain is having one of those weeks where the royal news feels less like a diary and more like a siren. So of course the one pair with the good sense to be photographed in snow, not scandal, is Zara and Mike Tindall.
For a straightforward update, it is this: Zara and Mike Tindall reportedly left the UK with their three children during the February half-term and travelled to France for a ski break, with Mike sharing videos from the trip on Instagram. The timing has inevitably been viewed against the continuing fallout from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office and his subsequent release under investigation.
