Rumour has it the pair will tie the knot at Canongate Kirk on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile

Newly-engaged royal couple Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall could be set to tie the knot earlier than previously thought, with a wedding in Scotland, in July, according to reports.

The ‘delighted’ couple revealed plans to marry in December last year – less than six weeks after Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement – after Mike popped the at their Gloucestershire home.

But in contrast to Kate and William’s big white wedding, it’s thought the private pair - who will turn down up to £1 million in glossy magazine deals – have been planning a smaller ceremony.

Zara’s said to be ‘desperate’ to marry in Scotland in the summer, and the couple currently favour historic Canongate Kirk on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

And reports suggest the second royal wedding of the year could be held earlier than first thought – on July 30, just three months after Prince William and Kate Middleton’s nuptials.

It’s thought another couple had already booked Canongate Kirk on Zara and Mike’s chosen date, but were reportedly ‘quite happy’ to step aside for the royal event.
