Mike Tindall is regularly snapped chatting and laughing with members of the Royal Family, and the former rugby player has formed some close bonds with many royals over the years, including Kate Middleton and Prince William. Mike, 43, married Zara Phillips, Princess Anne's daughter, back in 2011, and he's since proven to be popular among the royals. The dad-of-three, who shares Mia, eight, Lena, four, and one year old Lucas with Zara, 41, previously credited his wife's grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, for making him feel so welcome at the start of his and Zara's romance.
"I can only say how kind they've been to me, and how welcoming they've been to me since joining the family. And how they've made my family welcome. "I've always felt part of it and I think that's down to what an amazing woman the Queen is.They're a fantastic family," the rugby ace told The Telegraph.
