Talking about growing up in the spotlight, Zara admitted she initially found it okay as her home country of Sweden is paparazzi free.
She said: “People just don’t care. Like we don’t have paparazzi at all. That is just not a thing.
“People are very very shy. They just don’t want to talk, don’t want to look at each other. That is just Swedish nature.
