They may live thousands of miles away from the rest of the Royal Family – but it seems as though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s sweet nickname for one another has caught on with another royal couple.
Over the weekend, Mike Tindall, 44, announced that he has filmed a new YouTube series called ‘Mike Drop’ in collaboration with the Magic Millions horse-racing event in Australia.
As well as interviewing the events’ creators Gerry Harvey and Katie Page, the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here star has included his wife Zara in the series.
Sharing a sneak peek from their interview, Mike is captured on camera lovingly gazing at his partner before greeting her as ‘my love’.

Shooting Mike a winning smile, Zara then repeats the sweet nickname right back to him.
As well as referring to each other by their initials ‘H’ and ‘M’, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have often been heard calling one another ‘my love’ in public.
At the beginning of the video, Mike poked fun at the Royal Family’s fanfare by including a trumpet herald wearing regal uniform on an Australian beach – just days after Prince Harry filmed a similar skit mocking the royal’s pomp and fancy during his appearance on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Before kicking off their chat, Mike then playfully straightens out his interview notes and says: ‘Welcome to my world!’

In response, Zara – who won a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics as part of the eventing team – jokingly rolls her eyes and tries not to laugh.
During their interview, which is set to air in full next week, Zara described the Magic Millions event as ‘one of the most important dates in the horseracing calendar’.
Referencing how the event champions horseracing, polo and showjumping, the clip then ends with Zara saying: ‘The people [Gerry and Katie] bring together, the different sports they’re involved in, all disciplines are reaping the benefits of their support and their passion and their love for the horses.
‘It really is a showcase for the world. Work hard and play hard, that’s what Australia is about, isn’t it?’

The description for the video detailed: ‘In a world-first, Magic Millions and Mike Tindall today announced his new interview series Mike Tindall’s “Mike Drop.” Tindall’s line-up of interview subjects come from around the world with the common passion – horses.
‘Episode one of Mike Drop is a world-first, Tindall sits down with Olympic silver medallist, Patron of Magic Millions Racing Women, equine industry advocate – his wife, Zara Tindall. Future interviews in the “Mike Drop” series include Magic Millions co-owner, farmer, retailer, entrepreneur, Gerry Harvey.
‘A revealing interview with a man who has been fundamental to the horse industry for over 40 years. Look for it here on Youtube: Tuesday, January 24, 2023.’
Zara was announced as the first Magic Millions Racing Women Ambassador in 2012, and now travels to Surfers Paradise in Queensland every year for the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, seven days of auctions which culminate in this weekend’s major race meeting where all contenders are horses bought at previous Magic Millions auctions.

‘This is an ongoing partnership that sees Zara attend events every year to present gifts to the winners,’ Mischa Jolin, Managing Director of Influencer, PR and Branding agency, Edencancan previously told Femail.
‘She is an integral part of the brand which empowers women within the equestrian field. I would anticipate this partnership is worth circa £125k per year.’
Meanwhile Mike’s latest YouTube series comes hot on the heels of his I’m a Celebrity appearance.
Popular culture and brand expert Nick Ede previously told FEMAIL that the royal would likely earn up to as much as £150,000 for his role in the controversial series.

The brand expert added that appearing on the show could be a great move for ‘brand Tindall’, noting that while he could earn a significant pay out, ‘the true value of the show is what you do after it’.
He told FEMAIL: ‘Whether he gets a prime role as a sports pundit or panelist or host of a show who knows but for ‘brand Tindall’ this is a great step and will increase his celebrity equity ten fold. All eyes will be on Mike this year.’
Over the weekend, the couple put on a loved-up display at the racing event in Queensland, Australia.
Following a turbulent week for the Royal Family in the wake of Prince Harry’s memoir, Princess Anne’s daughter, 41, and her husband, 44, could not have been more carefree as they kissed for the cameras.
The parents-of-three are currently holidaying in the Gold Coast, with I’m a Celebrity star Mike sharing plenty of snaps from the trip on Instagram.
While Mike and Zara have no official duties, they are regulars at royal family events, such as church services and important milestones like the Jubilee.
Supportive husband Mike, who has often praised the late Queen, was also in attendance at Her late Majesty’s funeral in September.
Mike is thought to be a much loved addition to the royal family, with the rugby ace always enthusiastically greeting the members of Zara’s family when at events together.
