Last updated 24th May 2022
Zara and Mike Tindall are celebrating the birth of their third child, a son who they have named Lucas Philip Tindall.
The Queen’s granddaughter Zara and former England rugby player Mike Tindall have welcomed Lucas, who was born on Sunday March 21st weighing 8lbs 4oz.
The baby’s birth comes just a few weeks after Zara’s cousin Princess Eugenie had her son August on February 9th and a month after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan announced they were expecting a second child.
A spokeswoman for the couple said: “Zara and Mike Tindall are happy to announce the birth of their third child, Lucas Philip Tindall.”
The newest addition to the Tindall family is a younger brother to seven-year-old Mia and two-year-old Lena.
He is the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh’s 10th great-grandchild, but is only 22nd in line to the throne.
Zara Tindall gave birth at home
The baby was born at home, Mike Tindall revealed on his rugby podcast.
“Sunday got even better because a little baby boy arrived at my house,” he said.
Tindall said his son was born on the bathroom floor after the couple were unable to make it to hospital.
“Arrived very quickly. Didn’t make it to hospital. On the bathroom floor,” he said.
Tindall described how he rushed to get a mat for his wife.
“So yeah, it was running to the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get the mat on the floor, towels down, brace, brace, brace.”
