Mike Tindall has revealed what he calls his mother-in-law, Princess Anne, behind closed doors.The former rugby player, who is married to Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, appeared on “Good Morning Britain” last week alongside his longtime pal and podcast co-host James Haskell.While promoting their new book, “The Good, the Bad and the Rugby — Unleashed,” which Tindall co-authored with Haskell and Alex Payne, the retired rugby star was asked about life as a royal.At one point during the segment, Tindall was asked to share what he calls Princess Anne at home.“M’am,” Mike replied, chuckling.“Not Mum, M’am,” Haskell jokingly chimed in.“M’am, not Mum,” Mike repeated, before Haskell added, “After a few beers, you probably call her that.” Among the myriad of revelations in the book, one includes the “kerfuffle” Tindall had caused with a tongue-in-cheek remark he made about Prince Harry after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex quit royal life in 2020.Haskell 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 Harry, prompting mass social media backlash.
