Zara Tindall is “very close” to her brother’s girlfriend, according to new claims.
Peter Phillips, Princess Anne’s son, debuted his new girlfriend, Harriet Sperling in July.
The NHS nurse is now said to be “close” with both Zara and her husband Mike Tindall.
Mike was left on parenting duties as he watched Zara competing at the Burgley Horse Trials.
The 45-year-old was joined by Zara’s brother and his girlfriend, Sperling.
Onlookers claimed Mike was in “full-on dad mode” as he kept an eye on youngsters Lena and Lucas.
Eldest child Mia, 10, was allowed to roam the site more freely, equipped with an Apple Airtag to stop her from getting lost.
HELLO! reported that Sperling stepped in at one point to catch a lively Lucas.
A source said: “Peter and Harriet are clearly getting on very well and she seems to be close to Mike and Zara too.”
Unfortunately, Zara took a fall during the horse-riding event. It meant she had to withdraw from the competition during the trials.
NHS nurse and freelance writer Sperling made her public debut with Phillips in May at the Badminton Horse Trials to cheer on Zara.
The couple later appeared together at the Beaufort Polo Club in Gloucestershire.

Since then, Sperling has been seen with Phillips at Royal Ascot, a firm favourite of the Royal Family, and Wimbledon.
She was recently seen attending the launch of Cooking and The Crown, the book by Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles.
Phillips, Princess Anne’s oldest child, separated from his now ex-wife Autumn Kelly in 2020, with their divorce finalised in 2021.
They share children Savannah, 13, and Isla, 12.
