Prince Harry, once known as the Royal family's "fun uncle" for his playful humour and close relationship with his niece and nephews, has reportedly been replaced by Mike Tindall since his move to California in 2020. Body language expert Judi James told Fabulous magazine that Prince George now heavily relies on Mike, Zara Tindall's husband.

She said: "George's original 'fun uncle' and adult playmate did that infamous bolt to the US, leaving a huge Harry-shaped gap in the young boy's life that Mike has more than filled."

She added: "Mike is the fun uncle everyone needs, but in the case of Prince George, whose destiny is all about duty and responsible behaviour, Mike's presence in his life is completely invaluable."

The expert also noted that while Mike jokes with the royals, he never criticises or discloses indiscreet information. This is in stark contrast to Prince Harry, who has shared unflattering details of Royal life in his memoir 'Spare' and the Netflix documentary series 'Harry and Meghan', according to Express reports.

Talks about Prince Harry's strained relationship with Prince William and dealing with Princess Diana's 1997 death have been met with silence from Buckingham Palace since his book was published. Since moving to the US in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been open about their Royal Family experiences, reports Gloucestershire Live.

According to a Woman's Day source, Zara Tindall, Mike Tindall's wife, is trying to mend Prince Harry's relationships with senior royals. The source said: "Zara figures there couldn't be a better time for her to try and broker peace. Zara feels she's the only one who can get through to both of them."

As speculation about Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship continues, many hope for a reconciliation.

Meanwhile, Zara Tindall and her husband are being praised as "PR gold dust" for the monarchy, with their growing popularity sparking calls for them to take on more Royal duties.
