"When the idea was discussed seriously during a sit-down, it drew blank faces and teary eyes from several members of the family," the insider told Daily Express. _ King Charles III reportedly expressed "extreme joy" when Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall decided against moving to Australia full-time. "It became instantly clear that it wasn't a move that could ever become permanent. Longer periods of time will be spent in Australia instead," the source claimed. _ Zara Tindall - Princess Anne's daughter - has a close relationship with King Charles III. The relatives are often seen sharing laughs and hugs at events like Royal Ascot. _ Zara Tindall previously indicated that she and husband Mike Tindall were considering moving to Australia - where they first met in 2003 - when she stops competing professionally as an equestrian. "Probably not while I'm still competing. It would be a little bit hard commuting," she told The Australian Women's Weekly in 2019 of a possible move. "But after that, yes, I think if an opportunity came up, we'd definitely think about it." _ With Prince Harry - who introduced Zara Tindall to Mike Tindall - and Meghan Markle living in America, King Charles III has allegedly leaned on his niece and her spouse. However, don't expect them to be on the royal payroll any time soon. "Zara has been very popular. You'll see her at Royal Ascot, you'll see her doing her own thing," expert Robert Jobson told Hello. "I do think that it's about money. The ones who are working are on the payroll. I don't think that's going to be the case in terms of the unofficial side of things. I think it'll be very much more informal."
