There’s another baby joining the royal family!
Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall are expecting, the retired rugby star revealed in a new episode of his The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast. “Had a little scan last week,” Mike told co-hosts Alex Payne and James Haskell. “Third Tindall on the way.”
Mike and Zara, the only daughter of Princess Anne and cousin to Prince William and Prince Harry, are parents to daughters Mia Grace, 6, and Lena Elizabeth, 2. The next little one will mark Queen Elizabeth II‘s ninth great-grandchild.
Now, the soon-to-be dad of three is crossing his fingers for a son. “I’d like a boy this time,” he said on the podcast. “I’ve got two girls. I would like a boy. I will love it whatever, whether it a boy or a girl—but please be a boy.”
Since the couple have been keeping the pregnancy a secret until now, the parents haven’t told their youngsters they have a sibling on the way, though Mike thinks they will welcome the news.
