Mike Tindall admits he 'hates' wearing medals after criticism on social media

Former England rugby star Mike Tindall has addressed comments he faced online after he was spotted wearing three medals during The Queen's funeral service at Westminster Abbey. In a special episode of his podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, Mike Tindall who is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara, spoke about the comments he faced online.

Fans had questioned what the medals were awarded for, given the 43-year-old World Cup winner has no military experience. He was seen wearing his MBE, awarded after his triumph in Australia, and his Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals, handed out in 2012 and 2022 respectively.
