Mike Tindall makes major swipe at Prince Harry and seemingly confirms they are no longer close
Things just got awkward...
Mike Tindall has brutally exposed his feelings about Prince Harry. And it sounds like the duo no longer share a close bond.
This isn’t the first time Mike has taken a swipe at Prince Harry. Mike seems to have confirmed that their friendship has shifted.
Mike Tindall speaks out about the Duke of Sussex
Rugby star Mike is used to sharing his life updates and thoughts on his podcast, so he was allegedly forthcoming when discussing Harry.
Reportedly, Mike described Prince Harry’s conduct as that of a “b******”.
He was said to be referring to when Harry flew back over to the UK to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
Despite making the journey, Harry failed to turn up at the main concert.
Mike’s frustration seemed to stem from the fact that Harry made just one formal appearance, according to the Daily Express.
This time around, Mike has shed light on the relationship he shares with the Duke of Sussex – or, lack thereof.

Mike Tindall’s swipe at Prince Harry
Speaking at a live event at Hay Festival alongside his co-hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne, Mike reflected on his wedding to Zara.
The trio joked that somehow James and Alex hadn’t managed to embarrass themselves at the occasion.
The Telegraph reported that Mike said: “A lot of other people managed that way better than you. [Like] Harry, when he was fun.”
The two couples once shared a close bond prior to Harry and Meghan’s move from the UK.
However, the Tindalls were said to be unimpressed when the Sussexes started getting closer to a more A-list circle.
Jane Owen, celebrity PR specialist, previously noted to The Mirror that “Hollywood loves Royalty”.
She stated that Zara and Mike could “take advantage of that interest and attention.”
“If their team knows what they are doing they could potentially become even more popular in time than Meghan and Harry. Because they don’t have to combat the negative publicity and the mistakes they have made to regain trust and momentum.”
The Tindalls have grown closer to the Wales family
Meanwhile, the Tindalls appear to be closer to the Wales family these days.
In fact, Zara is said to be in the running for a promotion when William becomes king.
Writing in Woman & Home magazine, royal editor Emily Andrews mused that Zara would be a good fit as patron of The Royal Stud at Sandringham.
Andrews said: “Under King William, I could even see Zara being handed the patronage of The Royal Stud in Sandringham. Plus royal racing at Cheltenham and Ascot.”
