Is Zara Tindall a physiotherapist?
During Zara Tindall’s younger days, she “excelled at many sporting activities and represented her schools in hockey, athletics, and gymnastics,” per Married Biography.
She then went on to study at the University of Exeter and specialized in Equine Physiotherapy.
However, when it comes to Zara’s career, she’s not a physiotherapist. She also doesn’t work in the family business. “While many members of the Royal Family work for the Queen, Zara does not,” revealed Express.
“This means [she does] not attend all royal outings or represent the monarch at events … Instead of working in the Royal Family, Zara has a slightly less public career [as] she is an equestrian.”
