Zara Tindall, formerly Zara Phillips, is the grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II. The 39-year-old is the second child of Princess Anne, the Queen’s only daughter.

They had their first daughter, Maia, in 2014.

Their second daughter, Lena, was born in June 2018.

Mike revealed the pair a expecting another child on his podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby in December.

He said: “It’s been a good week for me, had a little scan last week – third Tindall on its way.

“When they’re not gazing into one another’s eyes like besotted teens they’re using eye-connect rituals to communicate and share the fun.”

Both the royal and the sportsman are hugely successful in their own rights.

Mike has played rugby for England, while Zara has won Olympic medals for her country.

The couple met during the Olympics.
