Christmas Talk Show 2019 (2)

   A member of the silver medal-winning British equestrian team at the 2012 London Olympics, Tindall is the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II.She is married to former England rugby captain Mike Tindall. She recounted how she came to like horses. She was born and bred under the influence of her mother Princess Ann and father Mark Phillips, both of whom were noted equestrians. 

   She said, "I was very lucky. I grew up with horses and leaned from both my parents. I can't remember a time when horses weren't in my life."

   She also serves as an ISPS ambassador.

   Dr.Handa asked her whether she will be chosen as a British Olympic athlete for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Tindall said she will be in Japan to watch, but whether she competes remains uncertain due to her current "quite inexperienced" horse.
