So close but so far! Mike Tindall was honored to attend King Charles III’s coronation with wife Zara Tindall — but he has one major complaint about the ceremony.
“You’re in the hottest spot, but it was all happening just around the corner of wall that you can’t see!” Princess Anne’s son-in-law, 44, said during the May 18 episode of his “The Good, the Bad & the Rugby” podcast.
The former professional rugby player and Zara, 42 — who is the king’s niece and daughter of The Princess Royal and ex-husband Mark Phillips — were seated one row behind Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie for the May 6 event. Prince William and Princess Kate, meanwhile, were seated at the first pew with their children Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louie, 5. Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, were also given front-row seats. (William and Kate’s eldest son, Prince George, 9, served as a Page of Honour in the ceremony.)
The athlete explained that while he was still seated fairly close to the monarch and Queen Camilla, the only way to actually see the coronation was to watch it unfold on screen.
“It was unbelievable to be sat where we were. Quite frustrating that you couldn’t see around the corner, but you had the TV there,” he revealed, noting that “everything went on sort of back and front” and he was thankful to have the privilege of watching history unfold.
“It’s one of those moments,” he gushed during his podcast. “I think the best bit of the day was the six and half hours of military footmen that were in the Buckingham Palace backyard and they did three cheers for the King — it was like whoa, goose pimples.”
