Zara Phillips (UK)

[nottocreative]

Here's a longer video - this one shows them holding hands and leaving the bar together.

I've never been fond of Mike, especially after hearing about his 2 DUI's. I honestly think Zara could have done much better.

Have they even had their honeymoon yet?

What a chowder-head.

My guess is that this isn't the first time and Zara knows it but put up with it as long as he promised to be discreet.

The cheating thing is bad, but I'm also disturbed by the article's mention of that evening's entertainment - a dwarf-racing competition? Is that a thing in England? WTF?

But why would she? She's (almost) royalty. This isn't like the Beckhams, where the united brand of both is enhanced by the husband and wife staying together. They have separate careers. If anything, he has a higher profile by staying with her. However, I'm seeing this from the other side of the pond, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Not so far as I'm aware. Maybe I don't move in the right circles but no one I know has ever mentioned it as being part of their evening's entertainment. ::also boggling::

As for Mike, I think he's a complete idiot if he thought he could act like this and it *not* hit the press. His wife doesn't have a title but she's still a member of the royal family. There's no way the press would keep it quiet.

No, no, I think you're right :-) but some women do put up with cheating long-term partners and maybe Zara isn't different from that.

Well, no need to fret gremlin, you can ask the Kiwis about this odd evening entertainment.

LOL! Okay, maybe we can blame them.

I forgot it took place in NZ. I haven't heard that dwarf-throwing is popular over there either, but maybe it is?

I'm shocked that any woman would kiss him, Zara included. Mike looks like one of the trolls from Harry Potter.
