Zara Phillips has introduced her baby daughter to the whole world, sharing her baby photos with Hello! magazine.
Baby Mia and her royal fam feature on the front cover of the popular tabloid as well as in a 13-page spread in the magazine.
She and husband, English rugby star Mike Tindall, pose/cuddle with baby Mia on the front cover of the gossip mag. We can only imagine Mia’s great-grandmother, the current Queen of England, considers this a bold, public move. Frankly, we’re mildly shocked it was allowed, what with Queen Liz’s insistence on Kate Middleton‘s fashionable modesty and the general royal tightening of purse strings.
The famous little family look very happy and healthy. Tindall seems to adore fatherhood already: ‘I still keeping looking at Mia and thinking “Oh! We made that!”‘
Baby Mia actually made her first public appearance at the Barbury horse races in Wiltshire with Olympic-medalist equestrian / her mama Zara Phillips, but she was concealed in her pram – making this the very first time everyone can fawn over the baby.
We wonder how the Brits will react to such a magazine cover – considering that Zara’s brother Peter Phillips was slammed for selling photos of his wedding to Hello! magazine for a sweet half-a-million pounds back in 2008. At the time Liberal Democrat MP Norman Lamb said Peter’s decision was ‘a serious error of judgment’ that ‘smacks rather of greed’.
The folk over at Hello! magazine are obviously excited because their mags will fly off the shelves: ‘We are delighted that Zara and Mike Tindall chose to share their beautiful baby pictures with Hello!’

The difference between Catherine and Zara is that Catherine will one day be queen - Zara doesn't even have a royal title. I am sure this contributes to the independent choices she is allowed to make.
I agree, but surprised that was still allowed as Zara is part of the royal brand, whether she likes it or not. (I personally love how 'un-royal' she is!)
Maybe with the Queen tightening her purse strings, she made an exception to this... the proceeds going to 'Queen Elizabeth II's Wardrobe And Handbag Foundation'. #kiddingnotkidding

Sounds more like a magazine for female wrestlers!
