Zara Tindall has proved many a time that she’s one of the most relatable royals within The Firm, and her latest update is case in point.

While many of us spend this unexpected down time in isolation finding new things to do (read: banana bread extravaganzas), it seems members of Britain’s most regal family are right on par – Zara’s newly unveiled project has seen to that.

Indeed, the 38-year-old daughter of Princess Anne has shown everyone how she’s a dab hand at art, creating a masterpiece for charity that’s stopped fans in their tracks.

As a talented Equestrian, it makes sense for Zara to combine her passion with the art form.

A charity, Equestrian Relief, revealed Zara’s artwork on social media, which is currently being auctioned off in order to raise money for the NHS in the UK.

In the special artwork, Zara illustrated one of her own horses, which was the very same that won her the title at the World Equestrian Games in 2006.

Featuring sweeps of green and blue, the painting is flanked with the outline of the horse, which is named Toytown.

With the auction ending on Tuesday this week, the royal has already garnered more than AUD$9,000 in bids, so it looks as though this new talent has certainly been put to good use.

The royal has been active in showing her support for people working on the frontline, despite remaining in lockdown in her home.

Speaking to Good Morning Britain last week, the royal (who video called in from her lush Gloucestershire home), spoke about the importance of staying indoors.

“We are very lucky out in the country and on the farm – we’ve still got to look after the horses,” she told the program.

She added that it was “hard being locked up and not being allowed to do what you normally do,” but she urged fellow Britons to follow government and World Health Organisation advice to stay indoors as much as possible.

“I can’t imagine what it is like for people in the city – but try and stay inside and keep the pressure off the NHS,” she said on the program.

Zara isn’t the only royal showing her support for those working on the frontline during the pandemic.

Prince William and Duchess Catherine have also been active in highlighting the work of carers and hospital workers.

After their three children partook in the Clap For Carers initiative (seen in an adorable video here), the Duke and Duchess also shared a candid video call with school students whose parents remained working on the frontline.

“All the parents who are key workers, [it’s great] to know that their children have normalities there for them and they’ve got the structure and a safe place for them to be. So really well done to all of you, I know it’s not easy circumstances, but it’s fantastic,” Catherine said at the time.
