Mike Tindall issued colourful response to Zara and Princess Anne's proposal
The former England rugby captain said he declined the request despite Scottish family ties and later had nose surgery for breathing problems, he said.
- On Thursday, July 30, Zara and Mike Tindall celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary, having married at Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk in 2011 rather than traditional royal landmarks like Westminster Abbey.
- Scotland provided the setting for their wedding, reflecting Zara's fond memories of attending Gordonstoun School and her grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's affection for the Balmoral Estate; the reception was held at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
- Before marrying into the Royal Family, Mike, a former England rugby star with 75 caps and a World Cup title, navigated family expectations. He declined Princess Anne's suggestion to undergo nose surgery before their 2011 wedding.
- Mike also resisted his mother-in-law's request to wear traditional tartan trews, joking at a charity function that despite her role as patron of Scottish Rugby, "I don't want to wear their trousers."
- Fifteen years later, the Tindalls maintain their distinct personalities within the Royal Family, their marriage characterized by these lighthearted anecdotes and mutual respect despite occasional disagreements over royal traditions.
