Mike Tindall is constantly tormented by his podcast co-host James Haskell over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Speaking with The Times, James, who co-hosts The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast with Mike, insisted it was ‘never the wrong moment’ to joke about the disgraced former prince.
Mike, who is married to Andrew’s niece, British equestrian Zara, simply responded: ‘No comment’.
It’s not the first time the former England rugby players have discussed how James deliberately embarrasses his pal by cracking jokes about Andrew, who last month was stripped of his titles over his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In their book, based on their hit podcast, they revealed that the ex of Chloe Madeley relishes ‘bombarding’ his co-host with jibes about the former prince while on tour for their show.
‘He’ll pick up on something that I say. And then, if you look at the cesspool of Instagram, I get dragged into it,’ Mike explained.
Newly released documents on Wednesday, meanwhile, continued the focus on Andrew, with an email from Jeffrey Epstein appearing to confirm a photograph of the former prince with his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre was real.
Andrew also told the paedophile financier Epstein and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell ‘I can’t take any more of this’ as he pleaded with them to make it clear he was not involved in any allegations against them.

Thousands of documents from Epstein’s estate were published by the US House Oversight Committee on Wednesday – including the exchange from March 2011 – months on from when the former prince alleged he broke off all contact with the sex offender.Â
Andrew’s links to Epstein eventually led to the King dramatically stripping him of his titles – putting an end to his public life.
The move followed the publication of Ms Giuffre’s posthumous memoirs, and the US government’s release of documents from the paedophile’s estate.
Ms Giuffre alleged she was forced to have sex with Andrew at Maxwell’s home in London, once at Epstein’s address in Manhattan, and once on Little St James.
The incident at Maxwell’s home, where the now infamous photo of the former duke with his accuser is reported to have been taken, allegedly occurred when Ms Giuffre was 17 years old.
Andrew is accused of taking part in an orgy with ‘underage’ girls, as well as Ms Giuffre, during the alleged incident on Little St James. The former prince vehemently denies all allegations made against him.

Epstein took his own life in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 after being convicted of sex trafficking.
