- Former England rugby player Mike Tindall made several light-hearted remarks about his connections to the Royal Family during a live event at Hay Festival in Powys.
- Tindall joked about Prince Harry , stating ‘I knew him when he was fun,' in a conversation with his The Good, The Bad and The Rugby podcast co-hosts, James Haskell and Alex Payne.
- He also made a quip about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, noting that he had been advised backstage to avoid discussing the disgraced royal during the recorded event.
- Tindall humorously claimed that his 2018 corrective rhinoplasty surgery for a broken nose was funded by taxpayers' money, adding it had 'the royal warrant.'
- Alex Payne suggested that Tindall's royal connections could be leveraged to bring attention to Richmond Rugby Club, where they are developing a potential TV series, even mentioning the possibility of the Princess of Wales meeting the team.
