Eat Your Heart Out, Rolex and Land Rover: Meghan Opts for Zara and Mike as Ambassadors

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might be feeling a tinge of jealousy as their cousins, Zara and Mike Tyndall, steal the spotlight in Hollywood.

The power couple has amassed an impressive fortune of £30 million through a diverse range of brand partnerships, surpassing even the likes of Rolex and Land Rover.

Zara and Mike have strategically diversified their income sources over the years, engaging in advertising campaigns, television appearances, public speaking engagements, and podcast hosting.

Zara Tyndall, in particular, is estimated to rake in around £1.1 million annually through her various brand collaborations and ambassadorial roles.

Back in 2006, she struck a lucrative partnership with Land Rover, securing an official ambassador position with the luxury automotive brand.

This association was further accentuated by royal ties, with the late queen herself owning a fleet of 30 Land Rover vehicles.

In recognition of her contributions, Zara was presented with the keys to a Range Rover Evoque in 2011 and was granted a women's engineering scholarship by Land Rover.

The brand continues to sponsor her equestrian pursuits, contributing significantly to her annual income of approximately £200,000.

Moreover, Zara has been a longstanding ambassador for Rolex since 2006, showcasing their high-end timepieces at various prestigious events.

Her collaboration with Rolex, which is believed to have earned her £100,000, began prior to her individual gold win at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen back in 2006.

With notable achievements such as Team Silver at the 2012 London Olympics and success at the World Equestrian Games in Cannes in 2014, Zara embodies the essence of Rolex's enduring commitment to equestrianism and excellence.

In addition to her high-profile partnerships, Zara's ventures include collaborations with Magic Millions Polo and Showjumping, Eye Candy Prams, the horse video game Hals, and the clothing brand Musto.

Reports suggest that Musto compensated Zara with a substantial £500,000 for her association with the brand.

She has also delved into endorsements with John Deere tractors, Samsung, and Slingsby Gin, in addition to earning from her jewellery collection under the luxury brand Calaia.

Her equestrian-themed designs, including the exquisite saddle ring priced at around £7,000, remain popular among enthusiasts.

On the other hand, Mike Tyndall has made significant strides in his own right, securing lucrative deals such as a £300,000 payment for appearing in a Domino's advertisement in 2022.

His television appearances alongside James Haskell for Amazon Prime and endorsements for CBD oil with Pueris have further solidified his presence in the entertainment industry.

Notably, his stint on I'm a Celebrity last year earned him £150,000, with an additional £25,000 donation to Parkinson's UK, a cause close to his heart.

Meanwhile, across the pond, Meghan Markle finds herself grappling with faltering brand deals, prompting her to urge Prince Harry to step up.

Despite their high-profile contracts with Spotify, Netflix, and Penguin Random House, the couple's partnership with Spotify came to an end last year.

Nearly a year after signing with WME, they are facing challenges in securing deals for Meghan, leaving her undoubtedly envious of Zara and Mike's soaring success in the industry.
