Prince William is currently looking for reliable reinforcements he can trust, and Zara Tindall just made the cut.

The news comes via a well placed source that just had a conversation with New Idea.

According to their findings, the future King’s motivation lies very much in his own lack of interest for the patronage in question.

According to the outlet, “After Harry and Andrew, William understands completely the importance of having trust — and Zara, along with her husband Mike, are definitely in that category.”

The patronage in question that the heir wants her taking on, once he ascends the throne, is that of the royal stud at Sandringham, “plus some oversight of royal racing interests at events like Ascot and Cheltenham,” according to the source.

As for his reasons, its widely to do with the fact that William’s nowhere near as enthusiastic about equestrian pursuits like his grandmother was, “so delegating this entirely to Zara is a brilliant plan. This new role plays into Zara’s strengths as an Olympic silver-medal equestrian,” according to the same insider.

What makes this a great show of support though, is that Zara is not a working royal, and has never received a salary or official title from the Crown, “but she’s always been close to Wills” even more so since the family ‘shrunk’, as a result of Prince Harry and Meghan’s exit, which was then followed by that of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s exile.

Before signing off the insider also referenced the significance shown to Zara by way of her attending Kate and Will’s very important garden party debut.”

All in all, as the source puts it “William is looking for reliable reinforcements he can trust, and Zara — who’s loyal, popular and genuinely passionate about horses — is the perfect fit for a prestigious role that plays to her strengths without forcing her into full-time royal duties.”
