ANDthere are two people in the British royal family for whom Prince George, 13 years old, has a special affection and admiration. Says Robert Jobson, author of several books on the British monarchy, such as “Catherine: The Princess of Wales: The biography”, which states that the Zara couple (his godmother) and Mike Tindall have a special place in his heart.
“Watch Zara with George: there are no excessive formalities. She plays with him. He is comfortable with her, just as children are comfortable with adults who expect nothing from them,” Jobson said in an interview with The Daily Mail.
“ Then there's Mike, who's not George's godfather, but he's become something even better. He talks to the boy about mishaps, about matters that no one else addresses with him, since everyone is focused on seeing him always be a winner”, he added.
The writer pointed out that the Prince's close relationship with Mike Tindall can be seen in the photographs of royal family events. “There is always an arm around George’s shoulders, leaning to say something,” he explained.
Not long ago, the former athlete admitted closeness to William's eldest son. “George loves football. I've played with him in the garden countless times. He's also in love with Aston Villa. Wherever he is, he stops everything to see the game ", assumed.
It is recalled that Zara Tindall is the daughter of Princess Anne and, therefore, niece of Charles III, having been a riding athlete and even won a silver medal at the London Olympic Games in 2012, as well as being the world champion of the sport.
Zara married former rugby player Mike Tindall with whom they have three children, Mia Grace (12), Lena Elizabeth (eight) and Lucas Philip (five).
