Prince William, heir to the British throne, is quietly preparing his dream team to pave the way for his destined reign as the future King.
The Prince of Wales could reportedly hand a meaningful duty to his cousin Zara Tindall when he ascends to the throne.
It emerges amid reports of arguments between William and Princess Anne over royal duty.
However, palace insiders quashed the rumours of feud between William and Anne, saying: "The working royals discuss duties and services to the people and keep on suggesting and encouraging one another to serve the nation."
"The Princess Royal is a big supporter of William's future as king and admires his sense of duty and commitment to the crown," they added.
Meanwhile, a royal expert has highlighted Zara Tindall's importance in William's future reign, declaring the Princess Royal's daughter the ultimate choice for a position close to the hearts of the royal family.
Jennie Bond welcomed the reports Zara will one day be given the reigns in managing the royal family’s racing operation.
"There will be so many demands on William's time when he is King that I think it's a brilliant idea – if the reports are to be believed – that he might hand over racing matters to Zara," she enthused.
"Like her mother, she lives and breathes horses – she's also extremely glamorous and well-liked, and it would be a perfect fit," Bond told Ok!.
King Charles has earned more than £2.25m through sales of some of his mother's horses but still maintains dozens of thoroughbreds training in racing yards or stabled at the Royal Stud.
The late Queen Elizabeth II was a huge racing fan throughout her 70-year reign - established a dynasty of successful thoroughbreds. Her horses won over 1,600 races and was named Champion Owner twice.
The tradition continued through Princess Anne and Zara – who both share a passion for horses.
Zara’s potentially exciting role in the future comes as the royal is celebrating her 14th wedding anniversary with her husband Mike Tindall.
She will be a highly valued support for William when the time comes for him to be King as Zara and Mike are both very close to the future king.
