Mike Tindall has sparked major backlash over his choice to wear a ‘MAGA-style’ hat on the latest episode of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby. Making another appearance on his podcast alongside his co-hosts, James Haskall and Alex Payne, the 47-year-old discussed England’s performance in Saturday’s Six Nations match last weekend.
Whilst the discussion caused controversy on social media, Mike’s red hat also attracted attention from listeners. The statement hat boldly stated ‘Make England Great Again’ in white stitching, with people making comparisons to US President Donald Trump‘s infamous slogan ‘Make America Great Again’, also known by the acronym MAGA.
Taking to X, fans didn’t appear impressed, with one fan writing: “Why is Princess Anne’s son-in-law wearing a MAGA-looking hat? That’s kinda weird, no?”
A second added: “Princess Anne’s son-in-law, Mike Tindall, wearing a ‘Make England Great Again’ cap. People excusing this as “rugby” connected. I did NOT look at that and think “rugby”, I thought MAGA. This isn’t a good look coming from the Royal Family- pretty low.”
A third added: “Just look at the hat Mike Tindall, Willie’s bestie and Princess Anne’s son-in-law is wearing.”
Catherine, who is known for her love of a range of sports, is the patron of the Rugby Football Union.
Appearing in high spirits, the 44-year-old was pictured smiling as she wore purple to match the occasion.
Catherine – who sported a purple England Rugby scarf – was pictured alongside RFU President Deborah Griffin in the stands before the Guinness Men’s Six Nations match.
