It's no secret that the Prince and Princess of Wales are always captured looking gloriously happy when seen with William's cousin Zara Tindall and her husband Mike - but are the senior royals really close with their extended family?
According to former rugby star Mike, the quartet are everything you'd expect from a typical family and even have their own family Whatsapp group - which he admitted he takes full use of.

The topic came up when the I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here star was on his podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby last year, just as Princess Kate was made the new patron of the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League.

But she has this competitive nature."
The Princess took part in a training session with the team - and appeared to give Mike a run for his money!

It's no secret Mike has the sweetest bond his nieces and nephews - who could forget his antics with Prince Louis at the Platinum Jubilee?

He told HELLO! at the time: "They're all quite close in age and hopefully they'll grow up as good friends."

"We'll let them get settled into their new home, and the baby settle into the world before everyone jumps on them." So sweet!
