Britain's Zara Phillips has signed up to her brother's new sports management company.

Queen Elizabeth's eldest granddaughter - who is representing Great Britain in eventing at the London Olympics - will be promoted by Peter Phillips' company, SEL UK Ltd, after agreeing to work with him.

Peter has also signed up his father Captain Mark Phillips, cricketer Shane Warne and is keen to work with Zara's rugby playing husband Mike Tindall.

A friend told the Mail On Sunday newspaper: 'Peter has signed his father Captain Mark Phillips, cricketer Shane Warne and he's in negotiations with Zara's husband Mike Tindall.'

Father-of-two Peter - the monarch's eldest grandchild and first child of Princess Anne and her ex-husband Mark - left bank RBS in March to set up SEL UK Ltd. and asked his wife Autumn to become company secretary.

Horsewoman Zara will take part in the three-day eventing team at the Games, which start on July 27.

She has missed the past two Olympics - Greece 2004 and Beijing 2008 - after her horse Toytown got injured.
