Mike Tyndall has formed an unexpected bond with Prince William, despite their contrasting personalities.

Welcome to Royal Pancakes, where we bring you all the latest updates on the British Royal Family.

Tyndall, a former rugby player, has been dubbed as the brother Prince William needs, bridging the gap left by Prince Harry’s absence.

Although they come from slightly different backgrounds, with William attending Eton and Tyndall going to Wakefield’s Queen Elizabeth Grammar, the two have recently grown close.

Tyndall seamlessly blends into royal life, as evidenced by a photograph of him embracing Prince George during the Christmas period in Norfolk.

However, Tyndall and William have their own distinct characters.

The former is known for his laddish behavior and binge drinking as a rugby player, while William, affectionately known as Wills, is more of a football fan who can’t handle his alcohol.

During the Christmas Day service, Tyndall was seen taking on the role of a fun uncle figure to William’s children, according to reports from the Telegraph.

Royal expert Rosa Silverman explains that Tyndall has filled the void left by Prince Harry’s departure and has become someone whom William can confide in.

Tyndall even shared a hilarious anecdote about William on former rugby pro Rob Burrows’ podcast, earning him three lad points.

He revealed that William had earned the nickname “One-Pint Willie” due to his inability to hold his liquor.

Tyndall was taken aback by the fact that this story had been made public and quickly apologized, exclaiming, “Oh my God!

It’s out there now?

Sorry, sir.”

Silverman also reveals that Tyndall has been known to engage in banter with Prince William.

At William’s 27th birthday party, Tyndall greeted him by playfully saying, “How’s it going Baldy?”

to which William responded, “What’s it to you, fatty?”

This lighthearted teasing has endeared the pair to the entire country.

Silverman suggests that this constant banter is reminiscent of the close relationship William once shared with Harry in their younger years.

Royal expert and former palace press secretary Dickie Arbiter comments on the friendship between Tyndall and William, describing both men as down-to-earth and genuine.
