Zara Phillip's engagement no

2 months ago 15th Sep 14:00

Britian's Zara Phillips has denied she is secretly engaged to her rugby player boyfriend.

The 27-year-old royal - the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth - admitted some of her boyfriend Mike Tindall's rugby friends are keen for them to tie the knot, but said they have no plans to get married.

Speaking on TV show 'This Morning' today (15.09.08), Zara would not even let presenters Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton finish their question about her relationship, interrupting them with the words: "I'm not getting married. Apparently I am, but no, I'm not.

"Every time I go to a game everyone always asks: 'When are you going to get married?' But we are just happy both of us. We're happy the way we are. He's captain of Gloucester this year and we're just trying to concentrate on our sports."

I'm not getting married. Apparently I am, but no, I'm not.

Keen equestrienne Zara, who is the reigning Eventing World Champion, also spoke about her disappointment at not being able to compete at the recent Beijing Olympics after her horse, Toytown, was injured.

She said: "He has just got bad timing I think. It was massively disappointing. I'm quite glad it's Beijing over now so I can move on. It's massively disappointing for him as well as it was his last chance. He won't get to London unfortunately because he'll be too old.

"I'm trying to find the next Toytown and I've hopefully found my horse for 2012. He's called Tallyho Sambucca. It's a new partnership so we'll have to see what happens."
