The couple opened up about their fondness of Australia, considering it a potential home if they ever decide to leave England. Mike confessed: “We’ve often thought about it. If we weren’t so deeply rooted in England, Australia would be our top pick for a home.
“Australians have a great sense of humour, they like a bit of banter, they don’t mind having a go at each other, they don’t take each other too seriously… and I’m all about that.”
The Tindall’s long-standing connection with Australia goes a long way back, according to the former rugby player. He said: “We’ve got a fantastic circle of friends there, and Zara has the same in New Zealand. The lifestyle, the pace – it’s something we truly adore.”
Zara and Mike famously met Down Under 20 years ago and see the country as “a second home”. In 2003, Mike met Zara whilst visiting the country as part of England’s World Cup campaign.
They stumbled across each other when they visited the same bar in Sydney to catch the semi-final match. Mike continued: “Living in Australia would be a dream, but it’s a bit far from our families here in England.
“However, our love for that part of the world, the friends we have there, and the life we enjoy when we visit – it all makes Australia a very special place for us.”
