Tessa pointed out that I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Mike "is a media player, a media commentator and a sports commentator” while future King and Queen William and Kate are "playing a very different game".Tessa said: “William and Kate have a much more constitutional role that is paid for by their sovereign grant, so they’re playing a very different game. "I'm sure they get on as cousins or whatever, and you know, there's a bit of banter and so forth but in terms of the pressures on Kate and William it's a totally different setup." She added that things were different for the 'old' fab four as Harry and Meghan “were working royals and the whole point was it was going to be a working pair." Talking further about William and Kate, Tessa said: "They're the embodiment of royalty that's all there is, that's what they are, so they have to by definition take it way more seriously.
