King Charles, Queen Camilla seen in first official coronation portraits

Mike Tindall, Princess Anne's son-in-law, is speaking out about his seat at King Charles' coronation that took place on May 6. Mike, who is married to Charles' niece Zara Tindall, shared a recap on the historic ceremony on his "The Good, The Bad and The Rugby" podcast.  "You're in the hottest spot, but it was all happening just around the corner of wall that you can’t see!" Tindall said, adding a laugh. "You do have a front-row seat."  Mike did not actually sit in the front-row.

So close but so far! Mike Tindall was honored to attend King Charles III’s coronation with wife Zara Tindall — but he has one major complaint about the ceremony.
