Heartbroken: Mike Tindall shares Huge Royal Family frustration after ‘seeing behind the curtain’
Former rugby star Mike Tindall has opened up about the misconceptions people have about life within the Royal Family and his frustrations with these false impressions.
In his new book, The Good, the Bad and The Rugby – Unleashed, 46-year-old Mike discusses the reality of life with his wife Zara Tindall, 43, and the common misunderstandings about their lifestyle.
Mike, who married Princess Anne’s daughter Zara in 2011, highlights assumptions about his wealth and the work ethic of the royals as some of his main grievances. He reveals that having “seen behind the curtain”, there is much more to royal life than meets the eye.
He said: “I am very lucky, but there are a lot of assumptions made about Zara and me that simply aren’t true. I have heard some people say I’m worth £25million, but I wish they’d tell me where it is, because I’d love to have it.”
He added: “People think that working members of the royal family get up every day, shake a few hands, cut the odd ribbon, and not much more than that. But now I’ve seen behind the curtain, I know there’s a lot more to it than that.
