Royal family fans are buzzing after Mike Tindall dropped a hint about possibly moving to Australia.
The former rugby star, alongside his wife Zara Tindall, has been enjoying the warm winter sun in the Land Down Under.
Their recent trip has ignited chatter about whether they might consider a permanent relocation.
The couple’s visit coincided with their participation in the Magic Millions Carnival and the Magic Millions Racing Achievement Awards on the Gold Coast.
These events are particularly special for Zara, who serves as a patron for Magic Millions, an esteemed Australian thoroughbred auction house.
Amidst their busy schedule, photos surfaced of them relishing the summer surf, showcasing their fondness for the Aussie lifestyle.
Speculation surrounding a possible move intensified after Mike’s intriguing remarks during an interview last February.
While at the Legends of Rugby Awards, he shared with Hello!
Magazine that he wouldn’t completely dismiss the idea of making Australia their home.
He clarified, “It’s not on the cards; people try to say we almost did, but we never almost did.” His words highlighted their affection for Australia, especially when it comes to raising children, while also acknowledging the uncertainties that accompany such a significant decision.
This recent jaunt to the Magic Millions Carnival marked their first visit in two years, a break largely due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The couple expressed their excitement at reuniting with friends and soaking up the lively atmosphere.
It was clear that returning to Australia brought back fond memories and a sense of belonging.
Australia holds a unique significance for Mike and Zara, as it’s where their love story began.
They first crossed paths in 2003 during the World Cup, where Mike represented the England rugby team.
After nearly eight years of dating, they tied the knot in Edinburgh in July 2011.
Now, they are proud parents to three children: daughters Mia and Lena, and son Lucas.
Currently, the Tindalls call the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire home, a property owned by Zara’s mother, Princess Anne.
