The royal, 41, released the short video on YouTube, as she tried on garments for the outdoor clothing company in the countryside near her Gatcombe Park home in Gloucestershire.

The King’s niece praised her mother in the footage, saying Princess Anne, 72, had given her children, Zara and her older brother Peter Phillips, a privileged childhood. 

Zara said: ‘Whether it was the horses or sailing or travelling or the people we met along the way. 

‘I was very lucky to meet incredible people which then you learn more from as you go along through life.’

The royal shares three children, Mia, eight, Lena, three, and Lucas, one with her husband Mike Tindall.  

Revealing how her outdoorsy childhood had shaped her as a grown-up, she said: ‘I definitely remember having a lot of fun and being able to experience a lot of things and I’m very lucky that my parents were able to do that for us or whatever they were involved in.’

Speaking about what she would like her own legacy to be as she tried on a variety of coats, Zara said she’d like to be remembered ‘for being hard working and respectful and loyal and a good mum’, with ‘some success in there too’. 

She said a perfect day for the family might be ‘at home, or with the family, obviously, or travelling.’ 

The royal explained: ‘I’m happy travelling with the kids and Mike and exploring the world. 

‘If I’ve got something planned it would definitely be outside, either riding or doing some kind of activity like a trip away to Devon or Scotland, where you kind of make sure you’re outside the whole time and they don’t see a phone or an iPad for the whole day and then they can just crash in the evening.’

The former England Rugby player will reportedly be the first royal on prime time, and is said to be joining the likes of Boy George, comic Seann Walsh and DJ Chris Moyles to compete for the Jungle crown.

The details around the father-of-three’s deal ‘remain a closely guarded secret’, however, a source told The Sun: ‘It’s a massive coup. Mike has had a box seat for some of the most important moments in royal history for generations.

‘He is sure to be discreet, but his sheer presence means this series will be an absolute must-watch.’ 

The former England rugby player, however, ‘did not seek permission’ from King Charles to enter the Aussie jungle and appear on the show, The Times reports.

It added that Mike could earn a six-figure pay packet for heading to the outback.
