The royal family is planning their annual Sunday service hundreds of miles away at Crathie Kirk Church near Balmoral in Scotland on the same bank holiday weekend. As a former Olympian, Zara is likely to face a scheduling conflict. However, the King is prepared to change the schedule around so the Tindalls don't miss one of the royal family's Balmoral traditions.
Another reason Charles wants the Tindalls to join this traditional holiday is for the Wales family, especially his three grandchildren, George, Charlotte, and Louis. There will be lots of children there this year, so they are planning a mixture of adult and junior events to keep everyone entertained. Charles is eager to have Zara, her husband Mike Tindall, and their children Mia, Lena, and Lucas in Scotland. He may even adjust the schedule to accommodate his niece's potential conflict, understanding that her horse competitions are extremely important to her.
A Tindall family trip to Balmoral with fellow British royals isn't entirely out of the question. The King is hoping they'll come to Scotland sooner than originally planned to catch up with the rest of the family. This way, everyone can enjoy the picnics and walks planned on the estate.
A source added that the mother of three gets along amazingly well with Prince William and Princess Catherine's children. The family is planning events to keep everyone entertained over the summer. Rugged-looking Mike, married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara, is affectionately nicknamed Shrek by some in the royal circle, including the King.
Facing the sad reality of Catherine's cancer diagnosis, it was a time marked by tears, fear, and an uncertain future. Throughout it, Mike Tindall stood steadfastly beside Prince William, offering encouragement, support, and a shoulder to lean on. While he continues his royal duties, it is evident through every action that Prince William finds comfort in the companionship of the former rugby player. Together, they navigate the complexities of royal life, sharing jokes and moments of respite amid the chaos. As Catherine's health improves, Prince William's gratitude to Mike knows no bounds. His unfailing support was a source of strength and comfort to both Catherine and William in times of darkness. His presence shed light, and his words of encouragement were a balm for their weary souls.
In a recent podcast, the former professional rugby player revealed he affectionately calls the Prince of Wales "Pint Willie" due to his modest drinking habits. His wife Zara teased him about revealing the nickname. Prince William then quipped that Mike had apologized to him for sharing the nickname and added a funny comment about the fairness and camaraderie between friends.
Sources close to the Wales family claim the Tindalls are set to play a major role in the Princess of Wales's inner circle as she receives cancer treatment. They are very much the glue of their generation of royals and bring fun to family gatherings, no matter how serious the occasion. They help take the family's mind off the gravity of what is going on. It helps that they all have children around the same age who can fool around together privately, bringing a sense of normality to a stressful situation for everyone involved.
The children enjoyed a bumper car ride together and were pictured laughing as they crashed into each other. Prince George even picked up a souvenir, queuing for the ride while carrying an intricately decorated plastic sword. They were the center of attention at a polo game at Beaufort Park Club in Gloucestershire, where George, clutching a toy tractor, and Mia were among the cousins playing on the grassy bank. George, Mia, and Charlotte used to be in all the bridal parties at Princess Eugenie's and Jack Brooksbank's October wedding.
