Mike Tindall's friend and co-host James Haskell drags former rugby star into Andrew controversy
Mike Tindall’s friend and co-host James Haskell drags former rugby star into Andrew controversy.
Mike Tindall, Zara’s husband and Princess Anne’s son-in-law, attracted massive attention as he was addressed Andrew’s scandal in a new interview.
The former rugby star recently spoke with The Times alongside his podcast co-hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne.
During the interview, Haskell noted that he has a habit of teasing Tindall about all things royal, and said that he frequently jokes about Andrew.
‘It’s never the wrong moment for that,’ Haskell quipped during their chat.
After some indistinct mumbling over the speakerphone, Mike put an end to the matter: ‘I said, ‘No comment!’
The trio hosts The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, but that the conversation unexepectedlly drifted from sport to royal affairs, specifically Mike’s uncle-in-law, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
As per the royal tradition, members of the family have remained tight-lipped about the scandal to avoid controversies.
In Brazil, William was asked by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour about recent ‘change’ in his family. The Prince of Wales dodged the question and pivoted to focus on his environmental initiatives.
‘I think the Earthshot Prize is a classic example of change. Rather than talk about it, we’re doing it,’ he said.
He added, ‘That’s where I want it to be, is that, these people in here are the true, actual heroes of our time. Change will come by backing them, not by what I do.’
The future monarch continued, ‘I want to surround myself with people who want to make change and do good in the world.’
However, a source speaking to the outlet in March 2024 described Zara and Mike as the glue of their generation of royals, no matter how serious the occasion.
