The Tyndall Children’s Competitive Spirit Unveiled

Zara and Mike Tyndall's children, Mia, 9, and Lena, 5, have more than just a love for sports – they have inherited a fierce sense of competitiveness from their Olympic equestrian mother and World Cup-winning rugby player father.

The siblings are not afraid to go head-to-head with their royal cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as revealed in recent reports.

In an interview with Australian Woman's Weekly, Zara and Mike shared insights into their family dynamics, highlighting the friendly yet intense competition that exists between their children and those of Prince William and Princess Kate.

The Tyndall kids, along with their two-year-old brother Lucas, often engage in playful competitions with the young royals.

Mike expressed his belief in the positive impact of healthy competition, stating, “Our kids play with their kids in this competition we have.

Competition done the right way is so healthy, I think.

It drives people to get better, for sports people, it drives you to train, it drives you to push as hard as you can.”

Zara echoed her husband's sentiments, emphasizing the importance of competitiveness within their families.

However, it appears that the Tyndall children's competitive streak may sometimes border on being overly intense, especially when it comes to losing.

Mike humorously mentioned that Mia, in particular, struggles with losing, and as Lena grows older, she is beginning to challenge her older sister.

Looking ahead, Mike predicted that their youngest, Lucas, will be even more driven to catch up with his siblings, highlighting the inherent competitive nature within their family.

Reflecting on the lessons learned from fostering a competitive spirit, Mike emphasized the importance of handling defeat gracefully.

He noted, “The biggest learning is to be competitive but not throw your toys out of the pram when you lose.

It's about going away and thinking, why did I lose?

That's where the growth comes from.”
