Mike Tindall (44) is launching a new YouTube format called “Mike Drop” on January 24th. In the interview series, the former rugby pro talks to a variety of guests about their passion for horses. Among other things, his wife Zara Tindall (41) has his say.
A trailer shows Mike Tindall sitting across from his wife, beaming at her and saying “Hello my love” in greeting. Smiling, she returns the greeting. Another sequence shows Mike Tindall adjusting his interview notes and saying, “Welcome to my world!” Zara Tindall jokingly rolls her eyes and tries not to laugh.
The pair then discuss the Magic Millions horse race in Australia, which Zara Tindall describes as “one of the most important events on the horse racing calendar”. The former Olympic vice champion in show jumping and daughter of Princess Anne (72) is the patron of the event.
In addition to the loving greeting, the beginning of the video in particular causes a stir: Mike Tindall is standing on the beach in royal uniform and playing the trumpet. Just a few days ago, Prince Harry (38) shot a similar sketch with Stephen Colbert (58) on the “Late Show” in which he seemed to make fun of the royal fanfares. Prince Harry also calls his wife Duchess Meghan (41) “my love”.
Is it a coincidence or a deliberate allusion by Tindall after Prince Harry shoots violently at the British royal family in his autobiography “Reserve” (original title: “Spare”)?
