Portrait of a royal husband

After all that carry-on with an ex-girlfriend Down Under, you’d have thought Mike Tindall would be keeping a low profile.

Well maybe he took a knock on the head in the Rugby World Cup - because here he is slathered in oil posing like an underwear model.

While his latest antics are for charity, it’s a little unclear where the rugby theme fits in, or how new wife Zara Phillips - 13th in line to the throne - might view it.

Tindall found himself in trouble when he was pictured cavorting with ex Jessica Palmer on a night out in New Zealand - just one of a series of off-field antics which brought shame on the England team at the World Cup.

The sportsman is patron of Rugby For Heroes, a new charity run by players to raise money for ex-servicemen. He and others agreed to undress for a fundraising calendar, with him as Mr June. - Daily Mail
