The Prince and Princess of Wales share a very special bond with Zara and Mike Tindall, and they often take their children for days out at the polo or on countryside walks together.
Mike, who is celebrating his 44th birthday today, has frequently spoken his relationship with his wife's cousin, William, and Kate on his podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby. He's revealed they're all in a WhatsApp group, admitted he wanted to mock Kate on her rugby skills and discussed Prince George and Mia Tindall's shared interest in the sport. He also recently addressed the special bond he shared with his late grandmother-in-law, The Queen, and the regrets he now harbours.
Mike's clear bond and openness with the family has made him a big hit with royal experts and fans on social media.
