Podcast topics don’t just revolve around sports. Mike often speaks about personal matters.

When he announced that Zara was having a third Tindall, he was met with cheers by his rugby teammates.

The ex-England Rugby player told James Haskell and Alex Payne that it was a good week.

And in April 2021, Mike paid tribute to his wife’s grandfather Prince Philip saying it’s been a ‘difficult 10 days’ as he praised the ‘amazing’ Queen saying that she is ‘leading the country by example’.

Zara Tindall, the husband of Princess Anne’s child, spoke on his podcast. He said that the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh was ‘eerie’ because there were not many people, but that it’s exactly what the royal would want it to be, since it’s a ‘no fuss’ event.

He said that his love for the Queen is ‘even more’ than ever, that the funeral was a ‘well-run’ affair and that Philip was ‘well cared for’. 

He shared his feelings with Alex Payne and James Haskell, stating that it had been a difficult ten days. 

“I look back on the day, which I find as eerie and disturbing as it was without any crowds or social distancing. 

“I believe it was the perfect day for him to have it, if that makes sense.” He added, “No fuss, just do it,” 

Mike’s tour announcement comes days after he had a great time with his daughter Mia (7 years old) at a Halloween event at Chessington World of Adventures. 

He was joined by a number of celebrities who brought their families, including Charlie Condou, Coronation Street actor, Blue band member Anthony Costa and TV Soap Star Charles Venn.
