Zara Tindall's husband, Mike Tindall, has opened up about meeting Prince Harry's fiancé Meghan Markle, and how he thinks the actress will cope on the big day. Speaking to Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway on ITV's Good Morning Britain, the former rugby player, who married into the royal family in 2011 said: "I think she'll be nervous, but coming from her background in TV she's used to public spotlight.

"Not quite as much probably as has gone on this week, but she'll be fine and I think she's experienced enough to know that all she can do is enjoy the day. And it's a special day for them both, and as long as they get a quiet moment during the day and actually have enjoyed the day that's what I wish for them, and hopefully they'll live happily ever after."
