Mike Tindall accidentally revealed a funny family photo while he was in Japan for the Rugby World Cup.
WATCH: Queen laughs loudly at Mike Tindall
The ex-rugby player is known as the joker of the royal family, but the husband of the Queen’s granddaughter Zara made a slip up when appearing in a YouTube clip filmed by his ex-England team mate James Haskell.
“We started walking at 10:30, it’s now 13:42 — a three-hour walk,” a clearly exhausted Mike says in the footage, which was taken during a marathon walking tour of Tokyo.
He then glances at his iPhone screen, which is clearly visible in the video and shows a screen background photo of himself, Zara and their 5-year-old daughter Mia.
The snap shows a beaming Zara sitting on her husband’s lap wearing dark shades and a blue boat neck top, with Mia perched on both her parents in a loose white dress.
The couple’s youngest daughter, 1-year-old Lena isn’t in the cute pic.
Mike has been spilling secrets left right and centre, lately!
Last week, he revealed the sweet nickname he has for his wife.
Speaking to Alex Payne on the House of Rugby podcast, Mike referred to Zara by his pet name for her, which is ‘Zoey’.
The revelation came about during their chat, as Mike and fellow former rugby player James Haskell were challenged to a game of ‘would you rather’.
And the first question was put to Mike, 41, who was asked if he would rather marry a royal or win the World Cup.
Mike, who was part of the England squad who won the cup in 2003, responded: “Well I’ve done both technically, but… s***.”
Mulling over his answer, he continued: “Well hang on, will it be my wife, that I’m marrying?”
Alex responded: “Yeah, would you rather marry Zoey or win the World Cup?”
Then Mike asked: “Could we take Zoey out of it? Cause obviously if it’s my wife I would marry my wife.”
His response generated a series of “Awws!” around the table.
Cheeky Mike has never followed many of the royal rules, which was apparent when he joined Instagram last month.
As an apparent slight on his wife and her family, he doesn’t follow any of the royals.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, use their @SussexRoyal account, Prince William and Kate Middleton use the @KensingtonRoyal account, and even Princess Eugenie has her @PrincessEugenie account.
However, despite Mike and Zara being close to the royal family, especially Zara’s cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, the former rugby player has chosen not to follow any of the royals’ pages with his new account.
