MIKE Tindall is cashing in on the royals, it’s claimed, and might soon be told off by King Charles.
Royal expert Phil Dampier said the ex-England rugby captain’s stint on I’m A Celebrity “pushed it just about as far as it can go”.

Mike came fourth on I’m A Celeb
Mike, 44, came fourth in the reality show after going on there amid his public speaking career drying up, claims pal Alex Payne.
Married to King Charles’ niece Zara, 41, Mike has a close relationship with the family and something Phil says should be handled carefully.
Joking about the time he sl** dropped in front of Princess Anne, Mike admitted his trousers split and she had an eye-full of his underwear.
Phil told The Celeb Report Online: “I think Princess Anne will probably see the funny side of it and they will probably have a laugh about it over Christmas.
“But he’s probably pushed it just about as far as it can go.”
The expert said Mike wouldn’t have gone in to the jungle if the Queen was still alive adding “there is a loosening of expectations” since she passed.
“It seems to be open season for people cashing in on their royal connections,” he said.
“There is a loosening of expectations at the moment.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if King Charles slightly asks them to reign it in.”
Phil said the public’s interest in Mike comes from his ties to the royal family and warns he should tread lightly.
He added: “At the end of the day Tindall would not be as much of an interest was he not married to the Queen’s granddaughter
“I think they have to be a little bit careful.
“I think he can do what he likes but bearing in mind the story about nibble my nuts was about something that happened in front of the Princess Royal so he is dragging the royals into it
“I think they’re treading a very thin line.”
Since donning a pair of budgie smugglers in the Australian-based hit show, Mike has designed two pairs of swimming trunks in a bid to raise money for charity.
One pair features the slogan ‘Nibble My Nuts’ on the bottom, while the other pair says ‘These Are Not My Wife’s…’
At £35 a pair, all profits made will go to charity Cure Parkinson’s in a bid to help them with their research.
