Mike Tindall has previously shared a cheeky three-word nickname that he has for Prince William because he is not "the best of drinkers".

During a visit to Leeds where he met rugby legends, the late Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield, Mike was asked whether he had any funny nicknames for members of the Royal Family.

Cheekily calling out Prince William, Mike shared: "For the Prince of Wales, he is known as One Pint Willy."

The sportsman - who is married to William's cousin Zara - added: "He is known to me as One Pint Willy because he is not the best of drinkers, coming from a sport where it is built on the social aspect and a couple of beers being sunk quite often. That is one I will give away for the Prince of Wales."

With a laugh, the 46-year-old then joked: "It's out there now, sorry sir."

Zara, who also appeared on the podcast, then jokingly told her husband: “You're in so much trouble!"

Following the reveal, William later met Rob and Kevin, telling them, "It was you who got the nicknames out of him - he apologised to me about that."

The 42-year-old continued: "When I saw him, I said, 'Mike, when you're not going to mention your nicknames - doesn't mean you mention mine, it's not fair'. I'm sure it's quite fun with Mike."

William's three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis, are known to refer to their dad as 'Papa'.

The royal was seen sporting an 'Papa' bracelet made by Charlotte during a trip to Cape Town.
