Mike Tindall is a “proper brown-nose” around the Royal Family, according to one of his close pals. The former England rugby union player is married to Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara.
Zara and Mike share three children – daughters Mia, age nine, and Lena, five, and baby boy Lucas, two.
Now his pal, fellow former rugby union player James Haskell, spoke about what he’s really like around the Firm.
Speaking at the Bath Forum, in Somerset, for the World Cup Afterparty: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Haskwell joked: “I don’t know how to say this but Tinds is a proper brown-nose around the royals.

“He’s taken brown-nosing to a new level. They called him “Solesy” at the palace because the only thing you see hanging out of their backsides are the soles of his feet.”
Haskell added: “And he’s also known as a bit of a cuckoo because since he joined up he’s had [Prince] Harry out and he’s had [Prince] Andrew out [of the family] as well. He’s one big plane crash away from being King.”
Meanwhile, the former rugby union player suggested the Duke of Sussex, who is also a close friend of his – is not as much “fun” after marrying Meghan Markle.
He claimed the royal has changed for the worse since his union with Meghan, according to the Mail.
Haskell was talking about he first met Prince Harry at the 2011 wedding of fellow rugby star Mike Tindall’s wedding to Zara Phillips on stage at Bath Forum, in Somerset, for the World Cup Afterparty: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – a live version of their popular rugby podcast.
He said: “Who should be there, wandering around having a good time, but Prince Harry. He hadn’t met her [Meghan] yet, so he was still quite fun.”
