Mike Tyndall Takes a Swing at Meghan Markle in New Book

In a surprising twist, Mike Tyndall has thrown some serious shade at Meghan Markle in his latest literary endeavor.

The former rugby star has taken it upon himself to defend the royal family against ongoing criticisms from Prince Harry and Meghan, who famously stepped back from their royal duties four years ago.

Since then, the couple has been vocal about their experiences, notably through a Netflix docuseries and a high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Harry even released a memoir titled Spare in January 2023, where he recounted physical altercations with his brother, Prince William, and discussed the chilly dynamics between Meghan and Princess Catherine.

In his new book, co-authored with James Haskell and Alex Payne, Tyndall shares his own experiences within the royal family, suggesting that his transition into this elite circle was surprisingly smooth.

He humorously notes, “They were always nice to me, and I was always nice to them.” Who would have thought that a little basic decency could go such a long way in royal circles?

It seems the Sussexes may have missed that crucial lesson.

Tyndall's podcast has featured an impressive roster of royal guests, including a memorable 50-minute chat at Windsor with Princess Anne and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

In the book, Haskell recounts his amusing introduction to Prince William, greeting him with a casual, “Alright, boss.” However, he also expressed disappointment regarding the reality of life within a royal castle, expecting lavish spreads of scones and exotic fruit tarts but instead finding only a few broken biscuits and remnants of family treats.

Unlike Meghan, who seemed to expect the royal family to cater to her every whim, Tyndall demonstrates a more grounded understanding of familial relationships.

He emphasizes the importance of seeing the royals as people first, rather than just their titles.

His mother-in-law, Princess Anne, receives particular praise for their engaging discussions about rugby—a stark contrast to Meghan's tendency to play the victim and portray the royals as antagonists in her narrative.

Tyndall doesn't hold back when critiquing Meghan's perceived lack of authenticity.

She appeared to believe that by shedding her public persona, she would win over the family.

Meanwhile, Tyndall is out there living his life and honoring the family he married into.

His marriage was rooted in love, not the pursuit of fame or fortune.

On the flip side, Meghan's journey often resembles a frantic quest for royal recognition before she shifted her focus to Hollywood, where she likely imagined she would receive adoration.

Reality, however, has proven otherwise; the center of the universe isn't in Los Angeles, and people aren't inclined to idolize someone who equates fame with self-worth.

While Tyndall traveled the globe as a celebrated rugby player, forging friendships across various cultures, Meghan seems to skim the surface of international experiences.

It's almost comical how she presents herself as worldly, yet her actions suggest she's more akin to a lost jellyfish, drifting without direction.

What's particularly entertaining is how Tyndall's comments land like a royal blowtorch, singeing the already tarnished image of Meghan Markle.

First, it was Samantha Cohen taking aim, and now Mike Tyndall offers a masterclass in subtle shade.

His witty observations serve as a reminder that not everyone will indulge Meghan's demands.

Ultimately, it appears that genuine respect and authenticity might just be the qualities that the royal family values most.
