Zara Tindall's half-sister Stephanie Phillips has kept out of the spotlight considerably, despite her royal connections.
Fans of the royals will be shocked to discover that the 25-year-old even worked at a local pub during her days at university.
Stephanie is the daughter of Princess Anne's first husband Captain Mark Phillips and his second wife Sandy Pflueger, reports the Express.
Like her sibling, Stephanie is a keen equestrian rider and, despite keeping a low profile, has been spotted at several royal events over the years.
Zara, Peter and Stephanie Phillips seem to have a close bond compared to some others of their royal relatives, with Stephanie often sharing snaps of the trio on social media.
Known for her good sense of humour and warmth, Zara is also close to her cousin Harry and is one of the few royals who have been spotted engaging with him and wife Meghan Markle since they left the UK in 2020. This was proved during a four-day weekend of celebrations for the Queen's 70th Jubilee, when Harry and Meghan only attended one event, which was the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral.
Conversing on the Cathedral's steps after the religious service as they waited to be picked up, a lip reader confirmed that Meghan was seen making a sweet compliment to Zara. Expert Juliet Sullivan believes Harry and Zara exchanged a few words about where their cars were before he complimented his older cousin on her choice of outfit.
The prince said: '"Love your outfit. I didn’t know what colours you would wear blue, pink, orange" with Meghan adding: "You look great."
But it's the bond between the Phillips' siblings that seems the strongest among the royals, and in 2011, Stephanie was a flower girl at her wedding to Mike Tindall and at Peter's to Autumn Kelly.
This was before the favour was returned, as both Zara and Peter's children were bridesmaids at Stephenie's wedding last year.
During her school days at the prestigious Dean Close School in Cheltenham, she kept her head down and then went on to study business management at the University of Worcester.
To help fund the student lifestyle, Stephanie even worked as a barmaid in a local pub.
Stephanie's social media highlights her love for horses and riding, which she likely bonded with her half-sister over.
Zara became the first Royal Family member to win an Olympic medal after claiming silver with her team at the 2012 London Olympics.
Stephanie has competed at several competitions including Barbury International, Wellington Internation Horse Trials and the West Wilshire Trials.
In 2021 Stephanie announced her engagement to her boyfriend William Hosier.
