She and her rugby star husband Mike Tindall have sold their white stucco marital home in Cheltenham and are planning to live at Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate near Minchinhampton, about 20 miles away.
The couple's £1.2 million house has been quietly on the market for some time and has now been purchased, I learn, by Shaun Wills, finance director of clothing company Superdry.
Zara Phillips is moving home again with her rugby star husband Mike Tindall
She and Tindall bought the detached house, which is on a main road but set back in its own grounds, before their July 2011 wedding.
And although some were surprised they had opted for a house in a town with no special security arrangements, the couple liked its proportions and also wanted to lead as ordinary a life as possible.
At one stage Tindall's rugby-playing pal Ollie Phillips became their lodger.
However, Zara has always kept the home she previously lived in on her mother's estate.
And while the Princess Royal will be delighted that she has decided to move back, it's going to make things a little crowded. Zara's brother Peter, his wife Autumn and their two daughters are already living there.
However, not too crowded because Zara says she and Tindall have no immediate plans to start a family.
'Before we got married, everyone was like: “When are you going to get married?” Then as soon as we were, it was: “When are you having kids?” ' she said. 'In the future we'll see what happens, but we're not, sort of, putting a date down.'
Zara was speaking in Australia for Magic Millions, the Aussie organisation which promotes women's involvement in racing.
There will be no race to the maternity stakes with her cousin's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge. Kate 'can win that one', says Zara.
