Zara Phillips last week attended her niece's christening. The accomplished sportswoman took valuable time out from her Olympic training schedule for the ceremony of three-month-old Isla Elizabeth Phillips, the second daughter of her brother Peter and his wife Autumn, and 13th in line to the British throne. Zara was accompanied to the christening by her husband Mike Tindall, while her mother Princess Anne attended with Commander Tim Laurence.
We're pretty certain that Peter and Autumn would have had to arrange the christening of their daughter so that it didn't conflict with the Olympic Games and would have sent out the
christening invites for their little one in plenty of time so that everyone was able to plan to attend. For christening invites for your little one, click

Zara, who has been picked for one of the five spots in the British eventing team at the games, recently revealed she has decided not to attend the Olympic opening ceremony because she wants to instead focus on her training regime. She explained: "I would rather get on with my competition than go to the opening ceremony." The down to earth granddaughter of the Queen also said she is looking forward to staying in the Athletes' Village with all of the other competitors. She said: "In the past the equestrian has been based quite far out and this time they have made a big effort to have it as part of the Olympics and really nearby
, so it will be great to have the atmosphere and benefit from that." Zara has been chosen for Team GB's eventing squad alongside William Fox-Pitt, Mary King, Piggy French and Tina Cook.
