Zara Tindall, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, recently shared a funny and somewhat scandalous nickname she has for her husband, former rugby player Mike Tindall.
In an interview on the Total Sport podcast, Zara gave listeners a glimpse into the couple’s playful relationship.
Like many couples, the Tindalls have their own special nicknames for each other.
During the podcast, Zara mentioned that they often refer to each other as “Munchkin.”
Mike chimed in, saying, “We basically call each other Munchkins a lot.
I don’t know how it started, but it has stuck.”
However, when asked about the nickname she has for Mike in her phone, Zara teased, “He is in my phone as something else and it ends with kitten.”
She didn’t reveal the full name, leaving fans intrigued and sparking speculation.
The conversation then turned to other members of the royal family and their nicknames.
Mike shared that Prince William, the Prince of Wales, is known as “One Pint Willie” among his friends.
This nickname stems from his reputation as not being the best drinker, which is quite different from the social aspect of rugby, where a few beers are often consumed.
Zara laughed at her husband’s revelation and jokingly warned him that he was in trouble for sharing this information.
In addition to discussing nicknames, Zara opened up about her mother Princess Anne’s decision not to give her and her brother Peter any royal titles.
Zara expressed gratitude for her mother’s choice, as it allowed her the freedom to live life on her terms.
She appreciates the opportunity to create her own path outside of the constraints of royalty.
Zara and Mike Tindall tied the knot in 2011 and now have three children together: Mia, 9, Lena, 5, and Lucas, 2.
Their playful banter and affectionate nicknames are a testament to the strong bond they share as a couple.
This lighthearted interview with Zara Tindall offers a glimpse into the more personal side of the royal family.
It’s refreshing to see their playful and down-to-earth nature, reminding us that even members of the monarchy have their own unique quirks and inside jokes.
