King Charles, royals to remain unperturbed as Mike Tindall announces new book

Mike Tindall, the son-in-law of Princess Anne, has announced that he will be releasing his second book this year.

The husband of Zara Phillips has co-authored the book with his podcast co-hosts Alex Payne and James Haskell.

The book titled "The Good, The Bad & The Rugby - UNLOCKED," will be released on November 6. 

The authors say the book will reveal "the personal, the vulnerable and the downright absurd" from their rugby careers.

Mike Tindall, Alex Payne and James Haskell, who present The Good, The Bad and The Rugby podcast, made the announcement regarding their book on social media.

Their new book follows the success of their first publication, Unleashed, which was released last year.

The 288-page book will also feature stories about "heroes who did things that are best forgotten" whilst celebrating their "enduring love for the wonderful game of rugby."

Married to a granddaughter of the monarch, Mike Tindall doesn't hold a royal title.

Zara and Mike Tindall chose not to take royal titles for their children or use royal titles themselves.

In an article about Mike Tindall's upcoming book, a British publication noted that Tindall would be following in the footsteps of Prince Harry by releasing the book. 

Prince Harry's memoir "Spare" became the UK's fastest-selling non-fiction book ever upon its release in 2023. 

The memoir garnered global attention due to its disclosures about Harry's accusations against his father, King Charles, stepmother Camilla, and elder brother Prince William, further straining the Duke of Sussex's relationship with his family.

Given the contrast with Prince Harry's book, it's likely the royal family won't be expecting similar controversy from Mike Tindall's book.
