Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall honours Prince Philip with birth of third child

Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall are now parents to their third child! 

It was confirmed by the Palace on Wednesday that Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter and Princess Anne's daughter welcomed her third child with Mike. 

People reported that that the newest member of the royal family was born weighing eight pounds and four ounces.

The parents named the tenth great-grandchild of the Queen, Lucas Philip Tindall, with his middle name paying tribute to Zara’s grandfather Prince Philip.

Following the birth, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying: "The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news and look forward to meeting their 10th Great Grandchild when circumstances allow."

Mike Tindall shared details of their home birth in an episode of his podcast, The Good, the Bad & the Rugby.

"A little baby boy arrived at my house! So, it was run into the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, get a mat on the floor, towels down, 'brace-brace-brace,'" he said.

"Fortunately, the midwife, who was going to meet us at the hospital wasn't that far away, so she drove up, got there just as we'd assumed the pos-ish [position]," continued the father of three. "And then the second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived,” he continued.

Speaking about how his wife was doing now, Mike said she was "a warrior as always. She was back up. We went for a walk [on Monday] morning with him. All good."
