August 2024 · 2 minute read

Zara Tindall, Prince Harry and Prince William's cousin, has welcomed her second child with husband Mike yesterday, June 18, the royal family announced. The baby girl weighed 9 pounds, 3 ounces and was born at Stroud Maternity Unit in Stroud, England. Her name has not been announced yet. Mike Tindall was present for the birth.

"The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal, Captain Mark Phillips and Mike’s parents, Mr Philip and Mrs Linda Tindall, have been informed and are delighted with the news," an official statement reads.

This marks the second daughter for the Tindalls, following four-year-old Mia Grace. The new royal baby is also the fourth grandchild for Princess Anne (Zara's mom), and seventh great-grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty's other great-grandchildren include the lovably mischievous Savannah Philips, 7, Isla Phillips, 5, Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and Prince Louis, 1 month. (We can't wait to see all the little ones together!)

Zara and Mike's youngest arrives less than two months after the last royal baby, Prince William and Kate Middleton's third child Prince Louis. The couple was originally expecting another child in Spring 2017, but unfortunately announced in December 2016 that they lost the baby.

The Queen’s granddaughter and Mike Tindall (a rugby star) wed in July 2011, just a few months after William and Kate tied the knot. Their nuptials were nothing like the royal wedding; the Tindalls had a “relaxed” and “private” ceremony at the Canongate Kirk in Scotland, The Telegraph reports.
