Zara rubbishes rebel label
Dec 6, 2006, 13:20 GMT
Britain's Zara Phillips has laughed off her rebel image, claiming the label is unfounded.
The 25-year-old equestrian champion - the daughter of Princess Anne and her ex-husband Captain Mark Phillips - chooses not to be known by her royal title and has been dubbed the 'Royal Rebel' since getting her tongue and naval pierced at the age of 16. But the spirited royal insists the nickname is ridiculous.
She told Britain's the Daily Express newspaper: "I still have a good time, which doesn't mean I go out drinking every weekend.
"And if a tongue stud is the most rebellious thing about me, that's sad.
"I don't think I was ever a rebel but it doesn't matter any more does it?"
Zara, who is currently dating England rugby star Mike Tindall, also admitted to sharing her mother's characteristics.
She added: "Lots of people say I'm quite like my mother. In looks and everything - relaxed and laid back - which is what she is at home."
