Mike Tindall opened up about the eerie parts of Prince Philips funeral on Saturday on the latest episode of his podcast, called The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.

Tindall, a former professional rugby player, married Zara Phillips, Princess Annes only daughter, in 2011.

I look back on the day I think as eerie as it was with no crowds and the social distancing and the way everything was, the former athlete said of the procession and funeral, which was incredibly intimate due to COVID-19 restrictions . I think it was the perfect day for how he wouldve liked it, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

No fuss, get on with it. And my love for the queen was even better, Tindall added. You know, she was sat there completely on her own . Separated herself in terms of This is what the world is right now and Im going to lead by example. And shes amazing, literally amazing.

The 2003 World Cup winner said that while the funeral was just as the late Duke of Edinburgh wouldve wanted it, there were still eerie moments for the family.
