Mike Tindall Breaks Silence on Prince Harry During Jungle Adventure
In a surprising turn of events, Mike Tindall, the former rugby star and husband of Zara Tindall, finally mentioned Prince Harry while competing in the reality show, I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
His comments came during Thursday's episode when fellow contestant Owen Warner decided to dig into Mike's relationship with his wife, Zara.
Owen asked Mike about the initial moments of meeting Zara and whether he felt any pressure knowing she was part of the royal family.
With a chuckle, Mike dismissed the notion of feeling nervous.
He explained that their friendship formed long before their romantic relationship blossomed.
“William and Harry were massive England fans at the time, so we'd met them numerous times,” he shared, indicating that he had a good grasp of what being part of the royal circle entailed.
Mike elaborated on how he recognized Zara's royal status right from the start.
He mentioned being familiar with her mother, Princess Anne, who is notably the patron of Scottish rugby.
This connection made it easier for him to navigate his relationship with Zara without the usual pressures that come with dating someone from royalty.
The camaraderie between Mike and Prince Harry is rooted in shared experiences over the years.
They have attended numerous events together, ranging from official royal engagements to more relaxed gatherings like sports games and private parties.
This familiarity has likely helped solidify their bond, making interactions feel more like those between old friends rather than mere acquaintances.
Zara and Harry's close relationship adds another layer to this royal connection.
Growing up near each other, they spent ample time together, often in the company of their beloved grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
