'X-rated' demand Zara Tindall gave husband Mike exposed in shock new interview as she breaks silence on royal family 'struggles'

The royal equestrian discussed both her marriage to the rugby star, and alluded to ongoing tensions between Prince Harry and his family

Zara Tindall revealed juicy new details about her relationship with rugby star husband Mike in a bombshell interview this week.

The royal equestrian appeared at a London Sporting Club lunch last week, where she was asked about the highs and lows of life as a member of the British monarchy, as well as her famously cheeky romance with the sportsman.

According to the official story, 43-year-old Zara—the daughter of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips—met the England champion in 2003 during Mike's Rugby World Cup campaign in Australia.

Seven years later, the pair announced their engagement. They married in July 2011 at the Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland, before an audience of over 400 guests and welcomed three daughters in the years that followed.

Apparently, however, several raunchy details are often left out of reports surrounding Zara and Mike's courtship - many of which the silver-medal winning Olympian spilt the tea on this week.

Speaking to the press last week, the royal, who is the niece of King Charles III, was asked about the couple's earliest days. She revealed they shared their first kiss after she issued him with an X-rated demand during a drunken night out.

According to The Sun, Zara recalled she and Mike having been invited to a 'lunch or dinner' date, after which the sporting star asked her for a peck.

"I said, 'If you get naked, I will give you a kiss'," Zara said. "So he got naked, I gave him a kiss and then . . . anyway. He was so drunk and he passed out and I had to leave him there."

The mother-of-three continued: "One of my mates had to come and pick him up. I can't move a 20-stone rugby player when he has passed out."

During her interview, Zara was also questioned about rumours of ongoing tension within the monarchy, specifically regarding her cousin, Prince Harry's reported estrangement from his father and brother, Prince William.

In the years since his 2020 resignation from royal duties, the 40-year-old Prince has made several shocking accusations about his family's alleged mistreatment of his wife, Meghan Markle.

In his memoir, Spare, the father-of-two recounted occasions of alleged bullying behaviour towards the former Suits actress on the part of William and his wife Kate Middleton, and claimed his stepmother, Queen Camilla, was partial to selling stories on the couple to the papers.

Arguably, the most shocking was an allegation made by Harry and 43-year-old Meghan, which claimed a high-profile member of the Royal Family had raised concerns about son Prince Archie's skin colour.

Though Zara has remained largely tight-lipped on the family's tensions so far, she alluded last week to the fact that the feud is still rumbling on.

According to The Sun, she said: "It is very hard to see from the outside, but 100 percent, it is a family that is still going through the same struggles other people do."

Zara added, however, that there's still a lot of love to be shared within her family.

"Whether they are relationships, obviously, it is very easy to see every day," she continued. "We're still very supportive of each other."
