Insights from Rugby Star James Haskell Show the Lighter Side of the Royal Couple
Former rugby star James Haskell, a friend of Mike Tindall, recently shared insights into Prince William and Princess Kate's playful personalities, surprising royal fans with tales of their "wicked sense of humour." Appearing on Good Morning Britain with Tindall, Haskell highlighted stories from their podcast, The Good, the Bad & the Rugby, where the Prince and Princess of Wales showcased a more relaxed side.
According to Tindall, married to William’s cousin Zara, the couple’s appearance on the show last September revealed the warm, down-to-earth humour they share, much to the delight of viewers. Their lightheartedness offered a refreshing look at the modern monarchy and further strengthened their connection with the public.
In a recent special episode recorded at Windsor Castle during the 2023 Rugby World Cup, royal fans were treated to a family reunion as the Princess Royal joined the couple. Kate even shared a humorous story about her and William’s competitive streak, noting that their tennis matches are never completed as they quickly become a "mental challenge."
Patrons of the Welsh Rugby Union, Rugby Football Union, and Scottish Rugby Union, William and Kate brought a relatable charm to the episode, revealing their love of sports and family. Haskell remarked on Good Morning Britain, “They have a wicked sense of humour. In the UK, we often put people on a pedestal, but they’re really just an incredible, regular family.”
