King's plans to give Zara Tindall 'Princess' title will ruffle feathers in the Royal Family

King Charles is allegedly considering bestowing the title 'Princess' upon his niece, Zara Tindall.

Since publicly revealing his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, there's been a continually evolving roster of royals stepping up to lend a hand in family duties and show their loyalty to the King.

One prominent figure amongst these has been 43 year old Zara Tindall, who appears to share a close bond with her uncle, which was evident during their recent appearance together at the Windsor Horse Show where Zara warmly greeted Charles.

As the daughter of Princess Anne, Zara was not bestowed any royal title at birth after Anne, similar to her approach with son Peter, declined such formality, the Express reports.

It's believed that Anne once referred to being a princess as a "mixed blessing", desiring for her children to navigate through life free from the burdens of their royal legacy.

According to New Idea, Zara once expressed in an interview: "We were very lucky that we got to do it a bit our own way."

According to the same publication, Anne, a 'steadfast supporter' of her older brother, King Charles may raise questions about any potential titles conferred onto her daughter.

It claims: "There's talk that niece Zara Tindall, who is very close to her uncle (as witnessed by their loving moment at the Windsor Horse show recently) might become more involved in this side of things, and that Charles is keen to support such an interest by bestowing on her the title of princess."

The article suggests that the King has always thought Zara deserved a title, stating: "So while Anne has always been a steadfast supporter of her older brother, this is likely to cause some friction between the two."

It then poses the question: "In trying to make life a little easier, could such a move in fact prove problematic for Charles? "
