The same year she was voted 2006 BBC Sports Personality of the Year by the British viewing public (an award her mother won in 1971). She was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2007 New Year Honours List (on the advice of HM Government) for her services to equestrianism. In 2012, she carried an Olympic flame at Cheltenham Racecourse on her horse ''Toytown''. As a member of the Great Britain Eventing Team, she won a Silver Medal at the London 2012 Olympics and was presented with her medal by her mother. ==Early life and education== Zara Phillips was born on 15 May 1981 at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington in west London. She was baptised ''Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips'' on 27 July 1981, and her first name was suggested by her uncle, the Prince of Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.hellomagazine.com/profiles/zara-phillips/ )〕 Her godparents were: her maternal uncle, Prince Andrew; the Countess of Lichfield; Helen, Lady Stewart (wife of Sir Jackie Stewart); Andrew Parker Bowles; and Hugh Thomas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.equestrianlife.com/mw/Zara_Phillips )〕 Zara herself is godmother to Prince George of Cambridge. Phillips has an older brother, Peter Phillips (born 15 November 1977) and two half-sisters, Felicity Tonkins (born in 1985 to her father by his brief affair with Heather Tonkins) and Stephanie Phillips, born 2 October 1997 from her father's second marriage to Sandy Pflueger. The children of the Princess Royal do not hold any royal or noble title. They are not entitled to royal status by right of birth, as they are the grandchildren of a monarch in the female line, and their father declined a title in his own right. As a child she and her brother attended Trooping the Colour and a few other royal events with their mother. Phillips went to Beaudesert Park School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and Port Regis School in Shaftesbury, Dorset, before following other members of the Royal Family by attending Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland. During her schooldays, Phillips excelled at many sporting activities, representing her schools in hockey, athletics and gymnastics. She was also successful academically, scoring 11 GCSEs from A * to C and a B and C in her A-levels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zara Phillips Video, Pictures, Gallery )〕 She later studied at Exeter University and qualified as a physiotherapist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zara Phillips」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
