Mike and Zara Tindall will celebrate a personal occasion during their family holiday to Australia.

The couple were first spotted Down Under at the 2025 State of Origin decider in Sydney, and since then, the former rugby star has shared snaps from their vacation, including a sun-soaked boat trip to Hamilton Island.

Their visit looks set to coincide with their 14th wedding anniversary on 30 July, with Mike due to make a public appearance the following day.

Over the years, several members of Mike's family have made appearances on the podcast.

In 2021, Mike announced his son Lucas' birth first on the podcast, and in 2023, Princess Anne and the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared on an episode recorded at Windsor Castle.

During the show, William and Kate joked about their competitive nature, the princess revealed her love of cold-water swimming, and Anne recalled racing with a young William around Balmoral.

Scottish wedding

Just a few months after Prince William and Kate Middleton's Westminster Abbey wedding, the royal family headed to Edinburgh for Mike and Zara's nuptials.

On the eve of their big day, the bride and groom hosted their family and friends on the royal yacht, Britannia.
