Zara Tindall and husband Mike confirm birth of baby boy – a new great-grandson for the Queen | UK News

Zara Tindall has given birth to a baby boy, her husband Mike Tindall has announced.

The former England rugby star revealed the news in his podcast, The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.

A spokeswoman for the couple said: “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.”

The baby, who is a new great-grandson to the Queen, was born on Sunday 21 March, weighing 8lbs 4oz.

The Tindalls, who live on the royal Gatcombe estate in Gloucestershire, already have two children – Mia, seven, and Lena, two – and have been married since 2011.

The baby was born at home, Mike Tindall revealed on his podcast.

After talking about Saturday’s matches he said: “Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house.”

Lucas is the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh’s 10th great-grandchild, but is only 22nd in line to the throne.

Mike Tindall had joked about wanting a boy this time around.

The baby’s birth comes just a few weeks after Zara’s cousin Princess Eugenie had her son August on 9 February.
