It’s easy to think of the British royal family as an institution above all else.
While these stories are certainly compelling, it is important to remember that the Windsors are a family.
And, much like any other family, certain members are closer than others.

Interestingly, one of the strongest relationships in the royal fold reportedly exists between William and Mike Tindall.
He and his wife, Zara Tindall, have been known to join William and Catherine on other outings.
Ever the physically affectionate uncle, Mike carried Prince George on his shoulders in paparazzi shots from the day.

Because of these similarities, Mike has a good understanding of where William’s children stand, developmentally speaking.
On the whole, this allows Mike to empathize with George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Mike acknowledged, “It’s tough for them.

They’re all young.
It’s a long time.”
As the rugby pro toldHello!

His hopes are already coming to fruition.
At the 2023 royal Christmas service in Sandringham, Charlotte and Mia were spotted giggling together outside the church.
This situation has left George, Charlotte, and Louis without an uncle to confide in.

It has also left Prince William without a brother to laugh with.
He has even givenWilliam a hilarious nickname.
