Mike Tindall shares cheeky photos from Coronation - and brings back much-loved tradition

Mike Tindall has shared some cheeky behind-the-scenes photos from the King's Coronation, bringing back a much-loved tradition from Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.

The former England rugby union player published a series of snaps and videos from the event on May 6 and the following days

He shared the images to reflect on the days of celebration, including the ceremony itself and the concert afterwards.

In one of the photos Mike shared on Instagram, he can be seen wearing Zara Tindall's fascinator - just as he did during the Jubilee last year.

The image shows Mike smiling as he poses in a morning suit on the day of the Coronation, with his wife's light blue hat on his head.

Mike also shared a selfie of him and his wife as well as a snapshot with Zara's older brother, Peter Phillips, smiling outside Westminster Abbey.

His caption read: "It's been an unbelievable 10 days!!! #coronation #jamierobertstestimonial #tindallgolf #ibiza time to sleep!! @jamiehuwroberts @goodbadrugby @tindallgolf @stereophonicsofficial @thelondonessentials."

A person commented: "I was waiting for the fascinator shot from the coronation weekend!!"

Another fan wrote: "Love those two. I hope Zara will be able to support William when he becomes king she and her husband are great."

One more added: "Keeping it real."

In June 2022, Mike shared a photo of him wearing Zara's hat with the caption: "When the husband has hat envy."

He then added a more serious post congratulating the late Queen on reaching the incredible milestone.

Mike wrote: "Great start to the day, thanks to the @thestaffordlondon for having the family.

"Also great work by @westcontempeditions raising money for @gosh.charity

"Really looking forward to the next four days and celebrating one of the greatest women on this planet. #platinumjubilee #thequeen."

Last week, Mike and Zara looked happy in love as they took part in a charity golfing event.

The couple leaned on each other as they smiled for the camera at the Belfry resort near Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

He hosted his 10th annual charity event in aid of Cure Parkinson's as well as the Matt Hampson Foundation.

The royal couple's event had the likes of Ronan Keating, James Nesbitt and Denise Van Outen attending.

Mike and his golfing Instagram page shared a snap of him and Zara posing up a storm for the camera.

"The amount of begging Mike had to do for Zara to have a photo with him was off the chart," the caption read.

The couple almost matched as Mike rocked a patterned blue-and-white pair of shorts and a black shirt.

Zara kept warm in white trousers, a blue hoodie and a black jacket. They both wore black caps.

Fans rushed to the comment section to joke about Mike's outfit choice.

"I’m not surprised in those shorts. Love you guys!" one user said while another posted: "Not surprising in those shorts."
