Melbourne, Nov 25 (ANI): Royal romances seem to be rife in Sydney with Zara Phillips revealing that she met her future husband, Mike Tindall, at the Manly Wharf bar in Sydney as he drowned his sorrows.
And the Phillips-Tindall romance isn't the first royal romance Sydney has had a hand in.
Crown Princess Mary famously met her future husband, the heir to the Danish throne, at the Slip Inn during the Sydney Olympics, News.com.au reported.
The Queen's granddaughter told 60 Minutes that the romantic encounter took place during the 2003 Rugby World Cup and that Tindall was trying ease the pain of being dropped from the England squad before the semi-finals.
"It kind of went from there," she said.
The Manly Wharf bar is a favourite with English tourists and rugby fans, but that isn't to say it isn't classy, which probably saves the royal family from a bit of shame.
The couple's love for each other blossomed and they married last year, with Tindall claiming that it was his "pure charm" that won her heart.
What makes Phillips' first encounter with Tindall amusing is that Prince Harry was involved.
