Mike Tindall reveals his strict homeschooling schedule for Mia and how he’s been trying to get her into golf
MIKE Tindall has revealed his strict homeschooling schedule for his daughter Mia during lockdown.
The husband of Zara Tindall, the Queen’s granddaughter, said he has also been trying to teach his six-year-old golf, although she isn’t a huge fan.
Speaking to ! magazine, he said: “We have good days and days where it feels harder.
“But we've all had to adjust to a new normal. In the morning we focus on the basics – Maths, English, reading and writing – and in the afternoon it's more about playtime, sports, and being outside.”
The couple, who live at Princess Anne's Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, said that they are “lucky” to have plenty of outdoor space, with little Mia taking riding lessons with her Olympic champion mum.
However, she is not as interested in following in her dad’s sporty footsteps.
“I've been trying to get her into golf but so far I’m not having a huge amount of luck”, Mike added.
The former rugby captain said that he and Zara have also been engaging in some healthy competition in the form of board games.
Mike Tindall has teamed up with Ben Moseley to create a new artwork to raise money for NHS charities Together COVID-19 Urgent Appeal and for The Cure Parkinson's Trust and the Matt Hampson Foundation.
