Former England rugby star Mike Tindall insulted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The former athlete is married to Zara, Harry’s cousin and daughter of Princess Anne. and could not contain his anger at seeing the Dukes of Sussex. The unfortunate word was pronounced at the reception following the outdoor concert in honor of the monarch on Saturday June 4, according to a publication in the Daily Express newspaper.
after the performance The exrugbier spoke to a guest and referred to Harry as an “idiot”. and pointed out that the young man had misbehaved during the celebrations.
It is worth remembering that during the five-day celebrations Harry and Meghan have only made one official appearance with the rest of the family: the couple was spotted with them on June 3 during Mass at St Paul’s Cathedral.
He avoided the public and the media for the rest of the days. On that June 3rd, cameras captured the exact moment Tindall and his wife crossed paths with the Sussexes. In the pictures, Zara can be seen leaving the cathedral and stopping next to her husband to speak to the guests.
At one point in the recording, Harry and Meghan appear, approaching the couple to chat. However, it is possible to notice that the exrugbier avoids speaking to them. Even during the conversation, he does not look them in the eye and quickly seeks dialogue with another person.
Mike Tindall has been part of the royal family since he married Princess Anne’s daughter Zara.
According to body language expert Judi James, the awkward situation was caused by Tindall’s closeness to the crown prince and Harry’s brother William. Interviewed by the British media, the specialist hinted that there might be a “little dilemma when Harry joined Zara’s group”.
“Zara seems happy to chat and even turns around to speak here with Harry, who appears eager to get into his own car. However, Mike continues to look ahead or around him and holds on to his orders of service with an expression of unease,” described James, who added: “He ends up speaking to Viscount Lindley, who has his back to Harry, and cuts the two men in Zara’s conversation with Harry.”
The Sussexes, for their part, made a public appearance at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Royal expert Colin Campbell told GB News that the Sussexes were “shunned like the plague” after Mass and that “no one wanted to speak to them” during royal events.
The expert said the couple was booed by the public and received a cold reception. Adding to the awkward situation was that “while they were waiting for their car, nobody spoke to them except Zara”.
The Sussexes and Buckingham’s relationship began to strain in early 2020when they resigned as members of the royal family and moved to the United States.
The connection Things got even more complicated in March last year after the explosive interview with Oprah, in which the former actress accused an unknown member of asking what color her first baby would be. He also admitted to having suicidal thoughts and claimed he shouldn’t seek help. For his part, Harry shared how he felt trapped in the monarchy.
It’s not the first time Tindall has made a derogatory reference to Prince Harry. Last October, the former English rugby star He joked that the royal family is so angry with Prince Harry that they want to hit him.
It happened when the man was invited to take part in a live show called “A Matter of Sport”.
