How would someone like Mike fund their life and family? In his case he was an ex rugby player so appearing on reality shows and doing podcasts wouldn’t be out of the realm of what they would do after retirement anyway. You can’t expect his wife’s uncle to tell him what to do and he listens, unless you stop inviting him to family events but that seems unfair.

I think the problem with the lesser Royals is that although they have the name, the Crown doesnt support them e.g. Anne's kids so I don't think interviews etc. will ever stop once you have that problem.
For me it's not the public interviews which are the problem it's the cashing in and doing brand deals and reality TV
Mike Tindall doing the ads/being an ambassador for online betting was a step too far for me.

Zara's coining it thanks to property, sponsorship and online gaming
With her husband – former England rugby captain Mike Tindall, who earns a six-figure sum every year – Miss Phillips has made a small fortune from property and letting deals.
I don’t think they’re worrying about the leccy bill just yet.
Now if its a podcast talking about Rugby fair enough but I'm a celeb and adverts are a step too far IMO.
Confirmed: Eugenie pregnant.
I don’t think I was arguing that London/the South (no matter how ‘tiny’ the area) shouldn’t have the ceremonial bits, obvs the palaces and cathedrals are there. My query is about provinces getting a fair crack of the financial whip, culturally, to make it fair. It costs me at least £120 to get to London by train to see decent exhibitions, theatre, opera. Fireworks and concerts that the capital gets for free don’t happen much outside London because most of our local authorities are on their uppers, even though it’s a truth not often acknowledged that per person we pay a lot more Council Tax than southern councils. I lived in London for 20 years, so I do know the difference!
She looks so much like her Dad it’s creepy
S
I see Lord Porchester in her face
Lovely news. I expect to hear similar news about Beatrice this year too.
Love the picture she used
It’s called genetics, hardly fair on Eugenie to say it’s creepy.
She is very like him, Beatrice has that pop eyed look like Sarah.
Beatrice looks like Queen Victoria
She's not THAT bad!!
It is an issue I agree, but... I still think that areas even just a couple of hours from london, also suffer to some extent from a lack of money/investment in culture and Arts etc. And a lot of events like Free fireworks are often more for tourists than for local people!
There are more regional centres now where there are theatre and art exhibitions available, ive noticed a lot of art exhibitions recently that tour and/or put specialist exhibitions in places like Dundee, or Liverpool.
For the Jubilee wasnt there money made available for local councils all over the country to apply to, to put on special events and things like Fireworks? Im assuming something similar will be made available for the coronation?
Where do you get the comparison between Council Taxes from? I cant see anywhere where a clear comparison is made? I thought council tax was paid based on the value of your house? So if your house costs more...which is definitely true of London, and the south east, then your council tax is going to be higher? (This also makes it very tricky for younger people to be able to buy or rent homes near to where they were born, if they happen to have been born in London or the South East. )
It is where leveling up becomes such a complicated issue.......Im not denying some areas do need more investment than others, but if you live anywhere near somewhere like Jaywick in Essex, you realise that poverty has pockets everywhere....
The paintings of QV as a young woman Beatrice is very much like her
Beatrice reminds me of Simon's Cat.
Unseemly snigger
If you look at early pictures of Queen V you can see it....
