In a surprising twist, King Charles has reportedly urged Mike and Zara Tyndall to reconsider their potential move to Australia.
Fortunately for the monarch, it seems that the couple is having second thoughts about making such a significant change.
According to insider sources, the Tyndalls may not be ready to make a permanent leap down under after all.
Since their first meeting in 2003, Mike and Zara have been known for their adventurous spirits, often traveling to Australia.
Speculation about a possible relocation has lingered for some time, but new information suggests that instead of a full-time move, the Tyndalls might split their time between Australia and the UK.
An insider shared with Express.co.uk that while the couple had been contemplating a shift to Australia, they ultimately concluded that now isn’t the right moment to uproot their family.
Instead, plans are forming for the family to enjoy extended visits to Australia over the coming years.
These trips will include both winter and summer holidays, allowing their children to experience life in the Southern Hemisphere.
The King expressed immense relief upon hearing this news, as he desires to keep his family close amid the ongoing tensions involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Zara’s strong ties to the royal family, particularly through her mother Princess Anne and her uncle, have influenced the Tyndalls’ decision to stay put for now.
Currently, the family resides at the picturesque Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, which is part of Princess Anne’s property.
When the subject of relocating was discussed during a family gathering, emotions ran high.
Sources revealed that several family members wore blank expressions, with some even shedding tears.
It was clear that a permanent move would not sit well with many within the family.
Instead, it appears that longer stays in Australia will be the compromise.
Interestingly, rumors surrounding Mike’s involvement with the Invictus Games have also surfaced.
However, an insider quickly dismissed these claims, stating that Mike has not been offered a patron role for the event, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
While he attended some early events when the foundation was first launched, he will not be actively participating moving forward.
Reflecting on the idea of settling in Australia, Mike candidly admitted, “Australia would be our top pick for a home if we weren’t so deeply rooted in England.” He expressed admiration for the Australian spirit, noting their great sense of humor and ability to engage in light-hearted banter without taking themselves too seriously.
