Mike Tindall's 'Coronation seat frustration' after being in row behind Prince Harry

His wife Zara is King Charles' beloved niece, and it appeared she and husband Mike Tindall had some of the best seats in the house at the Coronation.

However, despite being just four rows back behind the likes of Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, it appears former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here star Mike wasn't all that pleased with his seat.

He and Zara sat together in Westminster Abbey in the same row as Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne.

But Mike revealed that despite being near the front, it was virtually impossible to see anything as the 'Coronation Theatre' was around the corner in the church.

Speaking on his podcast, The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, he shared: "You're in the hottest spot, but it's happening all around the corner where you can't see! You do have a front-row seat, but..."

He then added to co-hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne: "It was unbelievable being sat there, but frustrating" but explained he was able to see some of the ceremony on a screen that had been attached to one of the Abbey's pillars.

Mike's insight came just days after he shared some cheeky behind-the-scenes photos from the Coronation, bringing back a much-loved tradition from the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

He shared the images to reflect on the days of celebration, including the ceremony itself and the concert afterwards.

In one of the photos Mike shared on Instagram, he can be seen wearing Zara's fascinator - just as he did during the Jubilee last year.

The image shows Mike smiling as he poses in a morning suit on the day of the Coronation, with his wife's light blue hat on his head.

Mike also shared a selfie of him and his wife as well as a snapshot with Zara's older brother, Peter, smiling outside Westminster Abbey.

His caption read: "It's been an unbelievable 10 days!!! #coronation #jamierobertstestimonial #tindallgolf #ibiza time to sleep!! @jamiehuwroberts @goodbadrugby @tindallgolf @stereophonicsofficial @thelondonessentials."

Last week, Mike and Zara looked happy in love as they took part in a charity golfing event.

The couple leaned on each other as they smiled for the camera at the Belfry resort near Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

He hosted his 10th annual charity event in aid of Cure Parkinson's as well as the Matt Hampson Foundation.

The royal couple's event had the likes of Ronan Keating, James Nesbitt and Denise Van Outen attending.
