Former England Rugby Star Updates Prince William's Nickname
Mike Tindall, the retired England rugby star and husband of Princess Anne's daughter Zara, has revealed Prince William's new nickname. Tindall originally nicknamed the Prince "One Pint Willy" due to his inability to handle his alcohol. However, Tindall now claims that Prince William has improved his drinking skills and can handle more than just one pint. His new nickname? "Five Martinis Willy."
A Cheeky Nickname
This isn't the first time Mike Tindall has given Prince William a humorous nickname. In a BBC podcast, Tindall referred to Prince William as "One Pint Willy," much to the amusement of his wife Zara. It seems the Tindall family has a knack for playful monikers, as Zara affectionately calls Mike "munchkin" and has a nickname for him ending in "kitten" in her phone contacts.
A Sweet Bond
The Tindall family and the Wales family, including Prince William, have always shared a special bond. On Christmas Day, Prince George and Mike Tindall were seen sharing an adorable hug outside St Mary Magdalene's Church. The close bond between the families was further evident as Prince Louis held Mia Tindall's hand during the Christmas Day service. Mia is Zara and Mike Tindall's first daughter and is 22nd in line to the British throne.
Behind-the-Scenes Tales
Since marrying Zara Phillips, the Queen's granddaughter, in 2011, Mike Tindall has shared behind-the-scenes stories of his royal lifestyle. He has spoken highly of his in-laws and the warm welcome he received when joining the family. While the Royals never publicly expressed their fondness for Tindall, it was evident in their interactions with him. In fact, in a playful moment at Ascot, the Queen was left in fits of laughter when Tindall revealed a miniature version of his top hat.
