Tindall then told Warner that he’s stayed the night at the palace, sparking Warner to ask if he’s able to “go downstairs in joggers and a t-shirt” the next morning, or if he has to wear a suit.
“No, you get in jeans and a tee,” Tindall shared.
Warner was also curious if Tindall immediately knew that Zara, 41, was a royal when they first met.
He went on to say he wasn’t nervous about meeting the British royals when he and Zara first began dating because “we were friends first.”
