James Haskell might not be familiar to most Americans, but the former England rugby star is not only legendary in the sport, but he's friends with two members of the Royal Family. Haskell, who counts Prince Harry as a pal, co-hosts the podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with Princess Anne's son-in-law, Mike Tindall. In a candid new interview with the Times, the athlete has shared some tidbits about his experiences with the Royal Family.
