Zara Phillips royal pre-wedding party

29th July 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Zara Phillips has held a pre-wedding party attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge following her wedding rehearsal earlier today.

Zara is Britain's Queen Elizabeth II's eldest granddaughter, and today practiced a run-through of tomorrow's nuptials at Canongate Kirk, Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile church, with her fianc Mike Tindall.

After around 50 minutes the happy couple, who were both casually dressed, left in separate cars which drove in different directions.

Zara was then joined by Britain's Prince William and his new wife Catherine to enjoy a pre-wedding party.

This afternoon, finishing touches were added to the historic venue, including fresh plants and filming equipment, suggesting the ceremony will be recorded.

Zara, a world champion equestrian and Mike, who plays for the English national rugby team, have been dating for seven years.

In contrast to the globally publicised wedding of the now-titled Duke and Duchess of Cambridge earlier this year, Zara's wedding will be a much more private affair. (C) Cover Media
