MOURNING royals were told “you need to leave” after Prince Philip’s funeral due to Covid rules, Mike Tindall revealed this morning.
The former rugby star, married to the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, also told of his heartbreak Her Majesty was forced to sit alone.
He told Good Morning Britain: “After the funeral it was sort of, ‘you all need to leave’, so you didn’t even get to have that supportive side afterwards.”
On the moving sight of the Queen sitting by herself, Mike Tindall said: “That’s what the Queen does, she leads by example. Amazing to see, but I didn’t really want to see it.
“The way that the funeral was planned and run was exceptional and for Zara it was seeing his carriage ponies and the gloves and the sugar cube box and all that lined up.
“If he was looking down, being in the middle of the pandemic when it was a bit more lowkey, he would’ve been more happy with that even though the rest of us would’ve liked more of a celebration but that’s the sort of man that he was.”
