Uncut Version’ of Kate Middleton and Prince William Podcast Interview ‘Would Have Blown Public Away,’ Mike Tindall Says

Mike Tindall, who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall, hosted the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal on his podcast last year

Mike Tindall wants to clear up a few misconceptions about what the royal family is really like behind closed doors

The former England rugby standout and husband of Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall has a book out Oct. 24, The Good, the Bad & the Rugby — Unleashed, which he wrote with Alex Payne and James Haskell, his podcast co-hosts. (Their show is similarly titled The Good, the Bad & the Rugby, minus the “unleashed.”) The podcast has hosted the Princess Royal, 74 (Mike’s mother-in-law) as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton, who taped an episode of the show in September 2023 at Windsor Castle, and the book highlights some of the show’s best interviews.

Writing specifically about the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, Mike wrote, “I think the podcast humanized them a little bit, and I kind of wish they’d let us put the uncut version out, because it would have blown the public away.”
