Nothing will stopMikeandZara Tindallfrom enjoying some child-free, quality time together — not evenKing CharlesandQueen Camilla’scoronation.
Tindall, 44, revealed the couple enjoyed a date night without children Mia, 9, Lena, 4, and Lucas, 2, on the eve of the May 6 ceremony during an appearance onGood Morning Britainon Friday.
“You know, sometimes when you’ve got three children, it’s not always the easiest to get out and just have a drink together,” Tindall continued of the evening, which earlier saw him and Zara dine with members of the royal family includingPrincess Anne,Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, and his wifeSophie, at upmarket London nightclub Oswald’s.
“It was quite nice to have a little bit of time where we could just go out and have a drink and have a chat,” added Tindall about the evening. “I definitely don’t regret that.”
As for whether he was worried about staying out too late to properly enjoy the historic event the following day, Tindall said simply that you should “Never worry about what’s tomorrow. Enjoy the moment and then you can deal with the next day later.”

“It’s very difficult when you’re on a raised platform that’s under a lot of lights, I felt I didn’t really put my best foot forward in terms of,” joked Tindall about his dance moves. “If you started doing interesting dance maneuvers on that platform next to the King I’m not entirely sure it would have gone down that well!”
“As Hitch once said in the movie, ‘You’ve got to stay in your safe zone’ and my flag waving, I tried to do the best flag waving out there,” he added with a laugh.
Tindall appeared on the morning news show to discuss his annual charity golf day, which raises money for theCure Parkinson’s Trustand theMatt Hampson Foundation.

The former sports starshared a series of snapshotsfrom the fundraising event on Instagram Friday, including one with his wife of nearly 12 years.
In the photo, the couple is all smiles for the camera in matching caps, with Zara sporting white jeans and a blue hoodie under a black jacket bearing the same competition logo as her husband’s black polo shirt.
Tindall’s colorful, tropical-patterned shorts stole the show, however. Commenting on his attire and whether or not he asks Zara for fashion advice before events, he toldGMB, “No, basically she won’t speak to me for a week after my choices in fashion. It’s more about redemption afterwards!”

Ahead of the coronation, Zara exclusively spoke to PEOPLE about the historic day and her mother Princess Anne’s role on horseback as theGold-Stick-in-Waitingduring the Coronation Procession.
“It’s a busy time for them all, and her and her brother are very close, so it’s a nice thing to do,” the professional equestrian told PEOPLE.
Alove of horseshas run in the royal family for generations, and late matriarchQueen Elizabethwas a great horsewoman like her only daughter and eldest granddaughter.
“Our horses are in our family, so there’s always discussions about performances and things like that. There’s horses in her life, and she does a bit of breeding as well. So there’s always horse conversation going on,” Zara added of the shared passion.
Before the Princess Royal trotted into the spotlight in the procession, Zara said her family would certainly be thinking of their late matriarch on May 6.
“Obviously, we’re going to miss her very much,” she said of her grandmotherQueen Elizabeth.
