The Royal Family Comes Together After Queen’s Death, Says Mike Tindall

Mike Tindall, the former rugby star and husband of the Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall, has opened up about how the royal family dealt with the Queen's death in an emotional interview on his podcast, The Good, The Bad, and The Rugby.

According to Tindall, the Queen's loved ones came together immediately after her passing earlier this month.

Tindall and the Queen attended several events together, both publicly and privately, and were often seen laughing and joking at horse racing events, which they shared a joint passion for.

During the interview, Tindall said, “It's been sad, emotional but happy.

In some ways amazing.

To see the family come so close together overnight.

You never predict it.

A 96-year-old lady, you know it's going to happen but you're never ready for when it does.”

He also reflected on the funeral, saying the guest list showed how well-respected the Queen was.

Tindall recalled meeting the Queen in 1992 when he was at school, with no knowledge that he would one day marry into her family.

He also spoke about his wife's connection with the Queen, saying, “Watching what Zara had to go through, obviously she loved the Queen beyond everything else.

Their connection with horses, they had a real bond around that.

It's like the world has lost its grandmother in some way.”

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has announced that her Archetypes podcast will return with comedian and actor Margaret Cho next week.

The Duchess of Sussex had paused the release of her Spotify podcast for the duration of the mourning period for the Queen.

But Archetypes will return on Tuesday, October 4, with a conversation about Asian-American tropes in the entertainment industry.

Meghan and Harry signed a lucrative deal with the audio streaming giant to host and produce podcasts, estimated to be worth around US$25 million, £18 million, in late 2020.

Other upcoming guests are understood to include comedians actress and writer Robin Thede and comedian Zeev Umeodaw.

However, the news has not been received well by some Twitter users, who sarcastically commented on the podcast.

One user said, “I can't wait to avoid it.

Who listens to multi-millionaires winging how hard life is?”

Another added, “As a mark of respect Harry and Megs shouldn't release anything for about 50 years as we are still mourning the death of the Queen.”

In other news, two new bombshell books have made a series of astonishing claims about the Duke and Duchess.

Katie Nicholl's book, The New Royals, claims that the couple had hoped to move into a suite of apartments at Windsor Castle but were given Frogmore Cottage instead.

Harry and Meghan reportedly had their hearts set on a home in the heart of the Queen's Berkshire residence but were left disappointed.

Despite the negative comments, Tindall's interview sheds light on how the royal family has come together during this difficult time.
