GB News
The former Prime Minister touched on the Duke of Sussex stepping down as a working member of the Royal Family
Mike Tindall has taken a swipe at Boris Johnson's book just weeks after an extract of the memoir was released touching on Prince Harry's decision to leave the Royal Family.
Tindall took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a side-by-side comparison of the two books.
He captioned the post: "We've been copied...OUR book (The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unleashed) is out tomorrow."
Tindall co-wrote the book with his former England rugby teammate James Haskell.

Boris Johnson's book is titled Unleashed and the similarity was pointed out by Tindall.
Other similarities noted by Tindall were having a "controversial blonde author" and "makes good firewood".
It comes weeks after an extract of Boris Johnson's book discussing Prince Harry stepping down from royal duties was released.
Prince Harry was given a "manly pep talk" by Boris Johnson in a bid to keep the Duke of Sussex from leaving the UK, according to claims in the former Prime Minister's new book.
It was one of the duke’s final appearances as a working member of the Royal Family.

Johnson said he was asked to speak to the Duke of Sussex to convince him not to step back from his royal duties.
Officials from Downing Street believed the last-minute intervention in January 2020 could have succeeded in talking Harry and Meghan out of their decision.
However, despite the former Prime Minister's efforts, the duke left for Canada the next day to be reunited with his wife and his son, Prince Archie.
Johnson said there was “a ridiculous business... when they made me try to persuade Harry to stay. Kind of manly pep talk. Totally hopeless.”

Johnson told GB News earlier this month: "They were brilliant and she [Meghan] was particularly good and articulate on it. I got on well with both of them.
"I also worked with Harry when he did his Invictus Games for disabled veterans in the Olympic Park."
He added: "I thought, in a bit of pomposity, this national asset is leaving our country.
"I thought he, on the whole, could be a force for good so I’m going to try and discourage him.
"I had a pathetic attempt at that. It didn’t work. I failed to avert Megxit, but I did deliver Brexit."
