Queen Elizabeth’s Granddaughter Appears in Land Rover Ad

Oh the horror! AdPunch points to recent news Zara Phillips, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, has appeared in a Land Rover ad wearing a white gown covered in mud with the headline, “Beautifully Poised.” Nice ad but it’s apparently against royal protocol. Her appearance is part of sponsorship deal with Land Rover which sponsored her during her recent competition in the World Equestrian Games where she won a gold.

While the Queen might be angry, many other are just fine with her land Rover appearance. Labour Glascow East MP Ian Davison said, “Miss Phillips is to be commended for making her own way in the world. If she is cashing in on her success as a sporting star as other people do, then she is making something of herself.”

Is this the end of royalty as we know it? Or is this just the natural way of things? Those in the U.K., please enlighten us.
