The Princess of Wales is incredibly sporty and has long been committed to a disciplined fitness regime. Aside from dabbling in sailing, cycling and yoga, it’s believed that the royal mother-of-three also follows an exercise routine jam-packed with cardio and weight training.
In particular, Kate, 42, appears to have a real penchant for running. Mike Tindall made the revelation during a new interview with The Telegraph.
Sharing a glimpse inside the Wales family’s passion for sports, the former rugby union player said: “George loves his football. I’ve played numerous times in the garden with him. He’s passionate about Aston Villa, too. Wherever he is, he’ll sit down and watch that game.”
He continued: “They’re just a family who love sport. Catherine loves her running.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Mike spoke candidly about his own family life with his wife Zara and their three children, Mia, ten, Lena, six, and youngest Lucas, three.
Hailing from a sporty family – equestrian Zara won silver in the 2012 Olympics and Mike was part of England’s 2003 World Cup-winning team – it’s perhaps no surprise that the Tindall clan are seemingly following in their parents’ footsteps.

Reflecting on son Lucas’ unbridled enthusiasm, he shared: “You can’t stop him. He wants physical contact. He wants to be wrestled. He imagines himself as a ninja, and he just walks around with sticks whacking people.”
Mike added: “He’s such a typical boy, you almost have to run him into the ground with exercise, like a dog, otherwise he won’t sleep. You’re built that way. So, being fully masculine, which a lot of rugby players are, is not a bad thing.”
