Of Course Zara Tindall Was Dancing to Macklemore on a Yacht

Because Princess Anne opted not to give her daughter Zara a title before she was born, she has always gotten to have a bit more fun than her cousins who are princes, princesses, dukes, and ladies. Back in 2003, she became the first royal to have a professional sports sponsorship for her equestrian talent, and after she married rugby player Mike Tindall in 2011, the two benefit from some of the perks that are only available to sports royalty. This weekend that meant joining their friend sportscaster Natalie Pinkham on a yacht in between races at the Monaco Grand Prix.

According to a clip Pinkham shared on her Instagram account, Zara got to show off her skills as a DJ, and she played a dance remix of “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. She led everyone else in a bit of raising the roof. Another picture shows Zara and Natalie joining a cuddle puddle with the retired race car driver Johnny Herbert.

It turns out that the real talent behind the boards on the yacht was Paul Borkowski, the resident DJ for F1 Experiences. On his Instagram, Borkowski posted a picture that showed him embracing Zara and Mike, along with a caption: “DJ… by royal appointment haha.”

Back at the race, the couple was photographed in a close embrace, and according to Tatler, they wound up at the Paddock Club alongside Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and former Olympian Sebastian Coe, who sits on the International Olympics Committee with Princess Anne. It seems like the yacht was the most luxurious part of their trip to the principality. Later, the couple was spotted at the airport in Nice before their return trip to Heathrow, and The Sun reports that they sat in economy class.
