Mike Tindall gives Meghan Markle the royal seal of approval

She’s been dating Prince Harry for nearly a year now and one member of the royal family has finally given Meghan Markle the seal of approval.

Prince Harry is said to be extremely close with his cousin, Zara Phillips, who is married to former rugby player Mike Tindall.

And now Mike has become the first person from the couple’s inner circle to publically speak out about their relationship.

“It comes with a lot of history and the family that it is. It’s obviously nerve-racking,” he told the Sunday People.

“But she has been under enough scrutiny and pressure in her day-to-day life so I’m sure she will get through it. She will be fine.”

He went on to say that the couple’s happiness is all that matters to him and the rest of the royal family.

“As long as they are both happy that’s all that you can ask for. She’ll do absolutely fine,” he said.

While Mike did admit that he actually hasn’t met Meghan yet, he said he would love to some day.

It comes after it was claimed Mike wants to join Meghan and do a cameo on her hit show, ‘Suits’.

“I’m excited as I’m a massive fan of Suits so I want to pick her brain more on that than anything else,” Mike told The Sun.

“A cameo in Suits is one thing I would definitely do, I could be a door bouncer or something. I’ll have to ask Meghan if she can get me in.”

Mike is no stranger to being in front of a camera. In 2014 he competed on a Channel 4 show called The Jump, and a year late made an appearance on Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.
