As a follow up to its original rugby film, Land Rover is out with another which debuted mid-July and has, again, tapped British royalty to appear in the video. In the new video, the goofy rugby lover puts his smarmy moves on Zara Phillips, the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II. Phillips, an equestrienne Eventing World Champion is seen taking her horse out of its trailer while the goofy dude tries to explain to Phillips, who, apparently, he doesn’t know, how simple horse rising is. Philips just smiles but the horse doesn’t take too kindly to the dude’s smarm.
In late 2006, Phillips appeared in a print ad for Land Rover wearing a gown covered in mud with the headline, “Beautifuly Poised.” The Queen wasn’t all that happy about her appearing in the ad but perhaps she’s had a chance to get used to Phillip’s more “real world” endeavors.
