Her lawyers initially denied that she was with Global Group of companies. But when evidence in the form of a copy of the contract agreement between Zara and Dr. Hon’s company was shown to them, they then admitted to the existence of this mutually beneficial association.

Zara Tindall’s brother, Peter Phillips, 41 had also started a horse racing members’ club with Dr. Hon just 2 weeks back. His role will be of a figurehead and get a salary for it.
