🎙️ Mike Tindall Saves the Day with a Royal Icebreaker! 😂🏉
Picture this: former England rugby star Mike Tindall found himself in a hilariously awkward spot on his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby. As the conversation turned to a viral Six Nations moment involving Princess Anne and Sione Tuipulotu, things got interesting!
Guest Ben Kayser confessed he wasn’t sure who Princess Anne was and casually asked, “Is it a princess?” Quick on his feet, Tindall chuckled and revealed, “My mother-in-law.” 😂 Kayser was floored, jokingly saying, “I just don’t want to get it wrong!” The podcast crew burst into laughter, teasing Kayser with tips to greet her properly next time, suggesting a cheeky “give her a hug” moment.
This all stems from a light-hearted encounter between Anne and Tuipulotu during the recent Six Nations Championship. When Anne went to present the Auld Alliance Trophy to Tuipulotu after Scotland’s victory over France, they humorously mimed going in for a hug before settling on a handshake. This throwback to an earlier encounter, where Scotland’s captain seemed to go for a hug only for Anne to diplomatically offer a shoulder pat, stuck to royal protocol like a pro!
Known for her love of sport, Princess Anne is a staple at rugby matches, passionately supporting Scottish rugby for decades. Her role as patron started by chance, but her love for the game has only grown, as she’s regularly seen cheering her team and chatting with players after matches.
So, if you ever find yourself in the company of Princess Anne, take Mike Tindall’s advice – maybe skip the hug! 😉
