Princess Anne made surprising joke to Mike Tindall | Royal | News

Mike Tindall married Zara Phillips in 2011 and consequently inherited a fabulous in-law, Princess Anne.

Princess Anne and Mike Tindall appear to really warm to each other, with body language expert Judi James telling Express.co.uk that Mike helps his mother-in-law “relax a little”.

When Anne appeared on the podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, Judi noted the fondness between them. She said: “Anne could easily be seen as a rather daunting mother-in-law with her reputation for being naturally intimidating and not suffering fools gladly, if at all.

“But the way Mike’s facial expression softens when he turns to look at her shows how much he adores her and enjoys her company. It’s not even done as a flattering gesture because the facial-softening occurs when he is talking, suggesting some like-minded thinking with Anne plus a shared sense of humour.”

When Mike Tindall took part in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2022, he spoke about a particularly hilarious moment he once shared with her.
