RUGBY legend Mike Tindall has confessed the Princess of Wales has never managed to beat him at a popular party game.
The 45-year-old, who was capped 75 times for England, explained that Kate Middleton, 41, needs to “work on her technique” if she has any hope of besting him at beer pong.
Beer pong is a drinking game where players throw a tennis ball across a table stacked with cups of beer, with the ‘loser’ having to down cups of booze.
“The Princess of Wales hasn't beaten me at beer pong yet,” Mike, who is married to King Charles’ niece Zara, proudly declared.
“I’ll keep giving her the opportunity to, though. She's very competitive but she needs to work on her technique.”
The dad-of-four, who came in fourth place on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2022, went on to share some details into the Royal Family.

Speaking to The Times magazine, he explained that it was difficult not to dance before King Charles, 74, got up to boogie..
This is because Royal etiquette dictates you’re meant to wait for His Royal Highness to get up first.
He said: “You have to wait for the King to start dancing and then you can go for it.
“It's always strange to be sitting in that scenario – at the King's coronation concert – where normally you'd want to get up and dance to everything.

“But you're aware that you're on camera. Once the King and Queen are up and dancing, you can do whatever you want.”
It comes after Mike recently spoke out about the realities of marrying into the Royal Family, explaining that it doesn’t erase all the problems you might face in life.
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, he shared: “Everyone thinks that just by marrying Zara that means it’s all fine and dandy… But that doesn’t stop the fact that you need a job.
“And it’s not that easy, you know — you get quite institutionalised into rugby, it’s a way of life and you leave the game and that’s not there.”
Mike, who retired form Rugby back in 2014 after a 17-year career, explained that it took him about a year to figure out “what I was, who I was going to be”.
“You’ve got to then go carve where the next path is — you can never replace going to work with 35 of your best friends every day,” he added.
