Mike Tindall has been married to Zara Tindall for 13 years, with the pair having wed in Scotland in July 2011.

Since first meeting in 2003, the former England rugby player, 46, has not held back from public displays of affection towards his wife, the only daughter of Princess Anne.

The dad-of-three has also spoken a number of times about the love he has for her, having once told Hello! that he had “no doubt” she is the one for him.

In a candid 10-word remark, he said at the time: “But Zara is the love of my life. No doubt.”

While he may have developed a hard front when on the rugby pitch, this loving side of Mike is something that is seen more and more frequently as time goes on.

When appearing at events together, Mike and Zara, 43, do not hesitate from packing on the PDA, with photos often showing the pair exchanging hugs and kisses.

The couple also do not shy away when it comes to talking about their relationship when questioned on it, giving away a few details while maintaining a lot of their privacy – a privilege Zara has as a result of her lack of a HRH title.

When appearing on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2022, Mike spoke about how his bond with the Princess Royal’s daughter began in Australia.

According to The Sun, he told his fellow campmates that they went for lunch in 2003 after being introduced by a mutual friend.

He said: “Ended up being quite a boozy one. Then we figured out that we both quite like getting smashed. It was a good start.”

Since getting married, the couple have lived on Princess Anne’s Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, close to Zara’s mother and brother.

They share their three children Mia, 10, Lena, six, and Lucas, three.

While they are not senior working royals, they do appear at a number of royal events including Sandringham Christmas walkabouts.
