- A rather surprising candidate
He is a rather special reality TV candidate. The former rugby player and member of the British royal family, Mike Tindall, will soon participate in the show I am a celebrity. It is in the Australian jungle that the husband of the daughter of Princess Anne of England will have to evolve. He will appear alongside stars such as Boy George, comedian Seann Walsh and DJ Chris Moyles. While the details of his participation still remain secret, a source told the Sun: “It’s a massive coup. Mike was treated to some of the most important moments in royal history for generations. He’s sure to be low-key, but his mere presence means this series will be an absolute must.”
Famous rugby player, notably for having won the World Cup in 2003 with England, it was in 2011 that he joined the British royal family by marrying Zara Phillips. Together they have three children, Mia, Lena and Lucas. Now a full member of the Windsor clan, he was even photographed alongside Prince Louis during the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations last June. He also accompanied his wife at the funeral of Elizabeth II. In his podcast, The Good, The Bad & The Rugbythe man said he was “blown away” by the emotion of an entire people at the death of their queen.
The latest members to appear on a reality show are Princess Anne, Princes Andrew and Edward
He also took the opportunity to remind oh how Zara Phillips was attached to Elizabeth II: “Zara loved the queen beyond anything. Their bond with horses – the same with the Princess Royal – was important.” Thus, in a few months, the British will see Mike Tindall appear in a reality TV show. As a reminder, the last time members of the royal family took part in this type of program was in 1987. Princess Anne, Princes Andrew and Edward had appeared in disguise in It’s A Royal Knockout. But according to several sources close to Buckingham, the Queen and Prince Philip would have been “appalledto see family members on a reality show.
Mike Tindall, this atypical member
This time, it seems that the pill goes a little better. A spokesperson for I’m A Celeb also said: “We will announce our lineup closer to the transmission”in order to keep the suspense to the maximum. A rather atypical character in the British royal family, Mike Tindall had also paid a rather original tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. The husband of Zara Phillips, daughter of Princess Anne and granddaughter of Elizabeth, had shared in an Instagram story on Monday September 12 a drawing showing a corgi, in tears, sitting in front of a crown. If he knew Elizabeth II personally, Mike Tindall still had a little regret: “But I also have a lot of regrets for not having asked him for more things”, he acknowledges, remembering “that nervousness when you get that chance to be seated next to her.”
His tribute to Elizabeth II
The death of Queen Elizabeth II has left a great void in the hearts of her family: “It was very sad, full of emotions but also joyful. In a way, it was great. happen but we are never ready for the day when it will happen. To see Zara in this state… She obviously loved the queen and their passion for horses… They were very close thanks to that”. Touching words.
