She has hopes of competing in the 2012 Olympics.
So when the PR team in charge of the event failed in their pitch on how Zara Phillips could promote the games, she was obviously unimpressed.
The 30-year-old, 13th in line to the throne, was left annoyed during a hilarious sketch for Sport Relief.
Not impressed! Zara Phillips listens to the PR team for London 2012 during a sketch for Sport Relief
Zara and rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave were seen meeting with the fictional characters of the BBC comedy series, Twenty Twelve.
Ian Fletcher, played by Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville, led an incompetent team who were unable to come up with ideas on how the pair could push the games during Sport Relief.
Bringing back up: The 30-year-old was joined by rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave
Brainstorming: The stars of Twenty Twelve have a meeting to discuss how Zara and Steve can promote the Olympics
After several 'ums' and 'ahhs' Ian says they could do the Sport Relief Mile dressed as the official 2012 mascots.
Steve says: 'Not the mascots, anything but them.'
And Zara asks: 'Have u got anything a bit more exciting than that?'
Another team member then suggests that Zara do the mile on her horse.
We'll take over: The pair become increasingly agitated and come up with their own plan
Change-up: Zara decides to teach Steve how to ride a horse, and he says he'll give her rowing lessons
But Zara states: 'I've always like the idea of learning how to row properly.'
And Steve says he always wanted to learn to ride a horse, so they decide to teach each other and make a video diary of the process.
Ian says they shoukd take ownership and, raising her voice, Zara screeches: 'Of course we take ownership.'
Steve adds that it was their 'bloody idea' and his royal counterpart asks: 'How the hekll r u organiseing the Olympic games?'

The UK Government has backed the public’s support for this year’s Sport Relief with £10m towards the overall total, specifically for Comic Relief’s work to improve the lives of a million people living in urban slums in Africa.

The overall total also includes £4,031,108.28 raised so far by Sainsbury’s – the biggest corporate cheque of the night. As well as selling Sport Relief goodies, from Sport Relief Socks and sweat bands made with Fairtrade cotton to waterbottles and clappers, Sainsbury’s colleagues across the country have been doing all manner of fundraising.
Hundreds of products in store also carried a donation to Sport Relief and to top it all off Sainsbury's are the headline sponsor of the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile.
Also included in the total is £6,173,895 raised by the BT Sport Relief Challenges. This total includes £1m pledged by BT in support of the challenges, and over £1.3m raised by Radio 1 listeners.
