In a charming revelation, Mike Tindall, the fun uncle of Prince George, recently shared his experiences playing football with the young royal.
The former rugby star, who has made a name for himself as a television personality, opened up about the 11-year-old’s enthusiasm for soccer, particularly his loyalty to Aston Villa, a passion he shares with his father, Prince William.
Tindall, at 45 years old, is not just a doting uncle; he’s also a dedicated father to three children of his own.
His active lifestyle involves keeping up with both his kids and Prince George, which he humorously notes helps him stay fit.
“George truly adores football,” he said, reflecting on their backyard games.
“I’ve played in the garden with him a lot.” It’s clear that these moments are special for both of them.
The connection between Tindall and George goes beyond just football.
In a recent episode of his rugby podcast, which he co-hosts with James Haskell and Alex Payne, he discussed how the royal family shares a love for sports.
“They’re just a family that enjoys sports,” he explained, highlighting how Prince William and Catherine also partake in various athletic activities.
Catherine, the Princess of Wales, enjoys running, while Princess Anne is known for her extensive knowledge of sports.
Tindall revealed that he often engages in discussions about the Six Nations with his mother-in-law, showcasing the deep-rooted sporting culture within the royal family.
Their conversations can get quite spirited, especially when they debate player performances.
Mike’s own children, Mia, 10, Lena, 6, and Lucas, 3, are also quite active.
