The daughter of the Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, Zara Anne Elizabeth Tindall (née Phillips) was born 15 May 1981 at 8:15 p.m. in the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in London, weighing in at 7lbs and nine ounces. When Zara was born in 1981, at the request of her mother, she was not given an official title with the style of Royal Highness. Automatically, Zara is not entitled to royal status by birthright as she is the grandchild of a monarch in the female line. At the time of birth, Zara was sixth in line to the succession of the British throne; currently, she sits at 19th in line.

Zara Anne Elizabeth Tindall came into the world 40 years ago on May 15, 1981, the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.
However, only the male offspring of The Queen and Prince Phillip are entitled to pass on a royal title to their children. This is due to the 1917 Letters Patent issued by King George V, which limits the title of Prince(ss) to the children of the sovereign, the children of the sovereign’s sons, and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. This was amended in 2013 to include all the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales (i.e. the children of The Duke of Cambridge).
