Zara Phillips is believed to be setting a royal precedent by not taking the surname of Mike Tindall. Even when they marry commoners, Royal brides have always adopted the family name of their partners. When Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, daughter of Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon, wed Daniel Chatto in 1994 she took on his name. Zara's decision appears to be based on the fact she wants to preserve her sporting persona and business interests. The former equestrian world champion is known throughout the sport as Zara Phillips and she has signed a number of deals which help fund her sporting interests.
