Zara Tindall has revealed some unexpected marriage secrets to Mike Tindall.
King Charles' niece has been married to the former England rugby star for almost 13 years.
Zara told Mirror that she wasn't pleased with Mike when they first met in 2003.
Zara also spoke about their first encounter, adding, "I went out with some friends. We walked outside to watch the Rugby World Cup.
"We strolled around the harbor, and they were all quite intoxicated and said, 'England is staying in that hotel.' I strolled passed the restaurant and spotted Austin Healey. "The girls went to Austin, dropped my name, and told him where they were going," she added, adding that Austin arrived for a drink with Mike and Martin Corrigan.
Zara, Princess Anne's daughter, adding that Mike thought she was "a bit boring."
"After Austin left, I was informed, 'He wants to contact you after the final'. I thought, "That's a little sharp. Zara remarked, "They haven't even made it through the semis yet."
She also recalls Mike messaging her throughout the night to 'come for a drink', and when she arrived into the pub at 8 a.m., "all the England guys were in there, and Mike was walking out with this girl, and he was like 'come for a drink'." I was thinking, 'I have got to get home.'"
"To this day he said that he only went and raided her fridge!" Zara made a funny addition.
Zara Tindall and Mike eventually started dating, and in 2011, they married.
Now, the royal couple has three children: Mia, 11, Lena, 6, and Lucas, 4.
