THIS is how Mike Tindall and Zara Tindall traded in their £1.69m mansion to live in a cottage on Princess Anne's estate.

The royal couple now have a family home on Princess Anne's estate Gatcombe Park after selling up their Cheltenham home back in 2013.

The Queen's only daughter Anne lives at the 730-acre estate with her husband, Timothy Laurence.

And Mike, 43, Zara, 41, and their three children Mia, Lena and Lucas are just a stone's throw away from Anne in their own plush cottage.

They sold their former home for £1.2million in 2013 but by 2017 it was worth a staggering £1.69 million, reports Hello magazine.

The Tindalls then moved to Gatcombe just before welcoming their first child, Mia, in 2014.

And although the low-key couple rarely open up about their home life, they have revealed a few glimpses inside their house on social media and TV interviews.

The royals have their very own home gym, as revealed by Mike when he participated in the 2.6 Challenge in April 2020.

It has exposed brick walls with a Union Jack flag on display, as well as an exercise bike where Mike took part in the charity bike ride.

Patriotic decor is something of a theme within their home and is not limited to the gym.

The couple have a stunning lounge which was showcased by Mike when filming from the living room for a live interview on The One Show.

In August 2020 the former Rugby hero showed off a Union Jack print trunk in the background.

There was also a curved table lamp with a cream shade, a grey armchair and a matching grey sofa.

Mike had previously shared a look at another angle of the living room when he made an appearance on Lorraine.

It showed how he and Zara have several framed photos of their dogs, as well as a portrait of the Gatcombe Park Estate hanging on one wall.

The Tindalls also have a beautiful garden as seen on Mike's Twitter where he lies on the grass with a colourful buddleia plant behind him.

Zara appeared to sit inside her kitchen for a virtual appearance on Good Morning Britain in 2020 but not much could be seen on the interior.

During the interview she confessed she felt like one of the few lucky ones to be at home in the countryside.

Royal fans were also given a glimpse at Mike's home office when he recorded his podcast from home in March 2020.

Wooden cabinets and shelving behind him displayed a selection of framed photos, including one of their pet dogs and what appears to be portraits of their two daughters.
