She is not the first member of the royal family to compete in the Olympics. Her mother Anne, Princess Royal, also competed for Great Britain in equestrian eventing in the 1976 Montreal games. Her father, Mark Phillips, also competed in eventing. His team won gold at the 1972 Munich Olympics and silver at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
