Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall
The paper reports the pair have bought a regency-style town house in Cheltenham, prompting speculation they are to announce their engagement.
The paper says the pair moved to the town to be closer to its nightlife, shops and because they have outgrown their two-bedroom cottage on Princess Anne's Gatcombe Estate.

“What a horrible lot you are!
How can you possibly judge anyone's choice of home, or how they receive their income. Perhaps you should try giving every person a chance before judging them! or do you think that everyone should live on minimum wages and struggle.”

“Fair enough! Zara Phillips seems to spend a lot of time in Thirteen Degrees, so makes sense to be able to walk home rather than drive! I hope they enjoy their new home.”

“Of course people are jealous, they're working every hour God sends so that the wealthiest people in the land can have more money and time of leisure.”

“dave , yeah right , you tell me they could afford a million pound house and live the way they do without a hand out . even her father so called capt mark phillips was given the rank as capt without seeing active service , and they dont seem to be able to stick to the law either speeding drink driving etc , ordinary joe blogs would of got hammered for doing the same ...and if you know so much where does that sort of money come from ?”

“Well I was going to write a note to Kate from Chelt but I see Dave beat me to it! Just to add - as I'm sure the house is a joint purchase - that considering Tindall plays top flight rugby for Gloucester and England, I have no doubt he is 'hard working'. Can't comment on the 'decent people' aspect as I've never met the chap! Maybe I'll catch him in Primark or Iceland later today?”

“Kate, Chelt - check some facts. Zara Phillips is, in fact, a "commoner" as her parents - Princess Anne and Capt Mark Phillips - CHOSE for their children not to be HRHs. Yes, a member of the family by birth, but she receives no money from the taxpayer and obviously nor does Mike.”
