Michael James "Mike" Tindall, MBE (born 18 October 1978) is a former English rugby player who played outside centre for Bath Rugby and Gloucester Rugby, has captained the England team, and was a member of the 2003 World Cup-winning squad. He is married to Zara Phillips, the daughter of the Princess Royal and the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
He participated as a contestant in the 2015 series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and was the runner-up after the 12-day survival mission. He currently plays for the Gloucester Division 2 team, Minchinhampton RFC.
Tindall was born 18 October 1978 in Otley, West Yorkshire, the son of Linda Shepherd, a social worker and Philip Tindall, a rugby player turned banker for Barclays. He was educated at the independent public school Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield, while his father Phil captained Otley.
Tindall joined Bath straight from school, as an 18-year-old in 1997. At that point the centre pairing at Bath and England were Jeremy Guscott and Phil de Glanville. But after the 1999 Rugby World Cup, Tindall played regularly at both club and country level, making his debut against Ireland at Twickenham in 2000 alongside Mike Catt.
