Mike Tindall landed himself in some royal trouble after making a savage joke about Prince Harry.The former rugby player, who is married to Harry’s cousin Zara Tindall, caused a “kerfuffle” with his tongue-in-cheek remark he made after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit royal life in 2020.The ordeal is detailed in a new book titled “The Good, the Bad and the Rugby — Unleashed,” which Tindall co-authored with his podcast co-stars James Haskell and Alex Payne.Haskell, who has been pals with Tindall for years, writes, “He [Tindall] even got into a bit of trouble when he appeared on a live version of ‘A Question of Sport,’ he told a story about him and Iain Balshaw pretending to punch Prince Harry at a post-World Cup final party in 2003 and joked that the royal family wanted to fill him in for real.”“I say trouble but it was a bit of a minor kerfuffle, nothing to write home about,” he added, per the Mirror.However, Haskell said the situation would have blown over had Harry and Meghan’s biographer Omid Scobie not blown things out of proportion.After hearing Tindall’s joke, Scobie rushed to social media to defend the Duke of Sussex, prompting mass social media backlash.Still, Haskell admitted that Tindall “gives zero f – – ks” about such matters.“It did come back into public consciousness when that very odd bloke Omid Scobie started sticking up for Harry and Meghan, and loads of trolls went in on Tins [Tindall], especially about him wanting to fill in a young, defenseless Harry,” he wrote.“All context, sarcasm and humor lost, when things are taken out of the zone they were meant to be in,” reports the Mirror.“To be fair to Tins he gives zero f – – ks about stuff like that, but it’s very annoying for him,” he added.“I think we all know that American royal fans are f – – king nuts, especially Scobieites.”The Post has reached out to reps for Harry and Tindall for comment.Elsewhere in the book, Tindall details li...
