England rugby legend Mike Tindall was sporting three medals at Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral, leaving some TV viewers scratching their heads given Princess Anne's son-in-law has no military experience.
World Cup winner Tindall, 43, accompanied the Queen's granddaughter Zara to Her Late Majesty's state funeral at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19, as Britain's longest-serving monarch was laid to rest following her death aged 96.
Tindall, who made 75 appearances for England in rugby union, was invited to the service as one of the so-called minor royals, as opposed to senior royals like King Charles, the Queen Consort and Prince William. Tindall joined the Royal family in 2011 when he wed fellow sportsperson and Team GB Olympic silver medal-winning Zara, who representing Great Britain in the equestrian team event at London 2012.
