Who are Mike Tindall's parents Philip and Linda?

Rugby union superstar Mike Tindall revealed the devastating impact Parkinson's has had on his father and the whole family.

Mike, who is married to the late Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall, teamed up with the Duchess of Gloucester for a video chat to mark World Parkinsons Day in April 2021.

He revealed that his mother, Linda Tindall, is the primary caregiver for his father.

He said she is “a very stoic, northern lady, who refuses to give her man up”, but said he was trying to convince her to accept offers of support.

Speaking with the BBC he said: "I didn't really understand the process of how it deteriorated and how it could end up at that point and that's the sort of one of the things I regret."

Mike described how his father has had a “tough five years”, but that the worsening of his condition stretched back 10 years to 2011, when he married Zara.

Mike said: “I would say he’s had a really sort of tough five years, maybe even longer actually,” he said.

“It’s our 10-year wedding anniversary and it was that year that … through his Parkinson’s, his spine in his back is obviously curved, and then it caused problems with his discs and then he had to have a wheelchair at the wedding. He could walk some bits of it.”

Linda Tindall

Mike's mother Linda used to work as a social worker.

But since her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis and disease progression, she became a full time carer for her husband.

Both Linda and Philip were considered vulnerable during the Covid-19 pandemic, so they did not leave the house for over a year.

He added: “What they’ve really missed out of this year is my mum’s missed companionship really, of being able to go and see someone else, because she doesn’t feel now that she’s comfortable leaving my dad alone.”
