Mike Tindall jokes about one royal and almost gets into trouble

Mike Tindall has hinted that he was told to stay away from
mentioning one member of the Royal Family in his latest media
appearance but talked about them anyway.

Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival, alongside his fellow
podcast stars James Haskell and Alex Payne, he was teased about
having a bedroom at Buckingham Palace, thanks to his royal
links.

Tindall replied ”opposite end to Andrew, though.”

Straight away, he acknowledged that this might be none of his
more controversial comments as he said he had been told backstage
”maybe stay away from Andrew tonight.”

His comments came just before it was revealed that police
investigating allegations of public misconduct linked to Andrew
Mountbatten-Windsor could also look at claims of sexual
misconduct.

Mike Tindall also mentioned another royal who isn’t seen with
the rest of the family.

As the former England rugby star got chatting about his wedding
to Zara in 2011, he dropped Prince Harry into the chat. Mike
Tindall joked that James Haskell has been surprisingly low key at
the ceremony before saying that others had managed to make more of
an idiot of themselves at the party, commenting that ”a lot of
other people managed that way more than you – Harry, when he was
fun.”

The jibe came in a wide ranging chat in which the trio also
revealed they are working on a TV show which would see them try to
run Richmond Rugby Club. The idea is already being likened to the
world famous move by actor Ryan Reynolds who bought Wrexham FC and
was filmed while he helped steer it to its best ever league
results.

Mike and Zara will be among the guests at the royal wedding of
the year in just a few weeks’ time. Zara’s older brother, Peter
Phillips, is marrying NHS nurse, Harriet Sperling, in
Gloucestershire with the King and Queen also expected to attend.
It’s believed the Prince and Princess of Wales will also be there
but Harry and Meghan aren’t expected at the celebrations.
