There was cause for
double celebration at Mike and Zara Tindall’s household at the weekend,
and it sounds like the family made the most of it.
Former rugby player Mike spoke
about his plans on the most recent episode of the podcast he co-hosts, The
Good, The Bad & the Rugby.
It was an episode mostly
dedicated to discussing the Leicester Tigers’ premiership win, but dad-of-three
Mike and co-host Alex Payne also briefly discussed their own weekends.
When Alex asked Mike if he
watched Sunday’s England game, the retired player and keen sports fan
surprisingly revealed that he hadn’t – but for a very sweet reason.
The 43-year-old
admitted: “I was having a lovely Father’s Day with the family so I
saw the results, I haven’t managed to go back through it all.”
Earlier in the podcast, the
star also shared that he would have liked to have celebrated with their
interviewees, Leicester’s Freddie Burns and Richard Wigglesworth, but joked
that family commitments meant that he was unable to.

Mike with son Lucas in April
During their conversation,
Mike interjected: “If it hadn’t been Lena’s birthday I’d have been
meeting you somewhere!”
Lena is Mike and his wife
Zara’s youngest daughter, and she turned four on Saturday. The couple also
share Mia, eight, and son Lucas, one.
While Mike didn’t share how
the family celebrated his daughter’s birthday or Father’s Day, it was clearly a
chance for the Tindalls to enjoy some special time together, perhaps at their
home on the Gatcombe Park Estate.

Little Lena turned four on Saturday
There, they live close to
Zara’s brother Peter and his daughters and Princess Anne and her husband, Sir
Timothy Laurence.
Although their little boy
didn’t join them for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations earlier this
month, Lena and Mia sat with their parents and other royals, including the
Cambridges, as they enjoyed a show-stopping pageant in honour of the
Queen’s 70-year reign.
