Mike Tindall has spoken about the devastating effect Parkinson’s disease has had on his father and the isolation his parents have faced during the pandemic.
He paid tribute to his mother Linda, who is the primary carer for his father Philip, as “a very stoic, northern lady, who refuses to give her man up”, but said he is trying to convince her to accept offers of support.
The former England rugby player, who is married to the Queen’s granddaughter, Zara Tindall, joined forces with the Duchess of Gloucester for a video conversation to mark World Parkinson’s Day.
