The Queen's grandson-in-law Mike Tindall says he almost accidentally curtsied to King Charles because he was copying his wife

• The man said he almost curtsied to the king because he was following his wife's lead.

• Tindall is married to a princess. A member of the royal family isn't working.

• He said he put the curtsy into a bow.

After becoming king, Mike Tindall almost curtsied to King Charles III.

Tindall is a non-working member of the royal family and does not carry out duties for the monarch. He is a grandson-in-law to Queen Elizabeth and a nephew-in-law to the king.

In a new episode of "The Good, The Bad & The Rugby," Tindall said the incident happened during a family meeting with Charles.

When you follow a routine? The other day I almost curtsied to the king.

I didn't think about it." I was following behind my wife, so she curtsy, and then fortunately didn't.

"I might have looked like I broke my toe or something on the floor," he said.

There are no compulsory codes of behavior when meeting the monarch or the royal family according to the royal family website.

This would involve doing a small curtsy for women and a small bow for men.

The royal family dynamic might change now that Charles is king. The public only knew the Queen as monarch when they knew Charles as the Prince of Wales.

I'm aware of the official, but I think the official part is done. Tindall said that he would have a better relationship with Charles because of history.

The Queen was always "the Queen" for anyone who met her. He said that you held her in that regard because you only knew her as that.

Queen Elizabeth was the longest serving monarch in British history. The oldest person to become monarch was Charles, who was 73 years old.

Buckingham Palace didn't reply immediately.
