If I was chatting to a girl and then found out she was royalty I\u2019d be nervous,\u201d Warner asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The question led Tindall to joke that things were easier for him, as he had already been friends with several members of the royal family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cNo, because we were friends first, and then William and Harry were massive England fans at the time, so we\u2019d met them numerous times.

And it\u2019s not that easy, you know\u2026 You get quite institutionalized into rugby, it\u2019s a way of life, and you leave the game, and that\u2019s not there,\u201d Tindall\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI don\u2019t think you can ever sort of describe when you\u2019re so used to being around that many people, and understanding, because of it being ingrained in you, where you fit in to then not being that person,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theblast.com\/804212\/prince-harry-trolled-over-old-royal-life\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Prince Harry Trolled Over His Old Royal Life;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Prince Harry Trolled Over His Old Royal Life&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Prince Harry Trolled Over His Old Royal Life<\/a> first appeared on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theblast.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:The Blast;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;The Blast&quot;}\" class=\"link \">The Blast<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source uk.news.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prince Harry is once again facing scrutiny over his life before royal exit, this time from someone within his own extended family circle.
