Throughout his time in the I’m A Celebrity… Get me out of Here! jungle, Mike Tindall has been very coy about the royal family. However, on Thursday’s episode of the show, the rugby player finally alluded to his wife Zara’s cousin Prince Harry.
The Prince’s name came up when fellow camper Owen Warner questioned the royal about the first time he met his future wife Zara and asked Mike if he felt any pressure.
Did you feel a little pressure, Owen questioned? I would feel uneasy if I was chatting with a girl and later learned that she was royalty.
Mike responded, “No, because first and foremost we were friends and secondly William and Harry were huge England supporters at the time, so we’d met them a lot of times. met more members of the family than you would have typically met before you started dating the woman.
The father of three went on to say that he immediately recognized Zara as a royal because her mother, Princess Anne, is the patroness of Scottish Rugby.
Mike and Prince Harry have attended a lot of events together over the years, including both formal affairs and less formal occasions like sporting events and private gatherings.
Harry and Zara, cousins, are very close because they grew up in the same neighborhood and spent a lot of time with their late grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.
Even a sweet video of Prince Harry’s christening featuring young Zara and Princess Anne’s daughter Zara cooing over the teary baby Harry is included.
The late Princess Diana was seen cradling her youngest child in the video before calling out to young Zara. Zara was seen rushing over, excited, as the then Princess of Wales knelt down. The blonde toddler cooed over Harry and tenderly held his hands, trying to soothe the baby.
