“Zero f----”- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Indirect Jabs Fall on Royal Relative Mike Tindall’s Deaf Ears

Published 10/25/2024, 3:17 AM EDT

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s differences with the royal family go beyond just the senior members; they also involve some distant royal relatives. One of these relatives, who reportedly had a falling out with the Sussexes after they stepped back from royal life, is Mike Tindall. Tindall, a former rugby player and husband to King Charles' niece, caught a lot of heat after he threw a jab at Prince Harry in public.

Even with the trolls and the Duke and Duchess’ supposed issues with Mike Tindall, this royal member seems to be indifferent to the drama.

A close friend of Mike Tindall and podcaster, James Haskell recently shared in the newly released book The Good, the Bad & the Rugby that the royal member really is not interested in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. "To be fair to Tins he gives zero f---- about stuff like that,” Haskell said, adding that “it’s very annoying for him.” Haskell also took aim at American royal fans and especially, the royal author and loyal supporter of the Californian royals, Omid Scobie. 

In Endgame, Scobie mentioned Tindall’s supposed joke about Prince Harry at the Rugby World Cup party in 2003, where he said the “royal family wanted to fill him in for real.” However, Haskell criticized Scobie, saying that things were taken out of context and made unnecessarily controversial. Whether there is any real tension or not, Prince Harry and Mike Tindall found themselves clashing once again this month.

On Thursday, Mike Tindall and his new book The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unleashed went head-to-head with Prince Harry. The Duke of Sussex released the paperback version of Spare on the same day his cousin-in-law’s new book was released. This comes almost two years after Spare’s hardback was launched in the UK, which, by the way, stands in stark contrast to the admissions Tindall made in his book.

In his latest work, Tindall shared his journey of becoming part of the Royal Family in 2011 after tying the knot with Zara Phillips, and he might have slyly taken a dig at Meghan Markle. He noted, “Believe it or not, marrying into the Royal Family was pretty easy for me”. Even though Tindall seems to brush off the Sussex saga, it is pretty clear that there is some underlying tension between the parties involved.
