The Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall is pregnant with her third child, her husband has announced.
Former rugby star Mike Tindall revealed the news on a podcast he co-hosts, saying: “It’s been a good week for me, had a little scan last week – third Tindall on its way.”
The couple already have two daughters, Mia, six, and two-year-old Lena, and Tindall said he wants their third child to be a boy.
Speaking on The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, Tindall said: “I’d like a boy this time, I’ve got two girls, I would like a boy.
“I’ll love it whether a boy or a girl – but please be a boy.”
To groans from one of his co-hosts, Tindall joked: “We’re not sure what to do Covi or Covina – I don’t know where to go with names.”
On his wife Zara, who has spoken about two miscarriages she has experienced, Tindall added: “Z is very good, always careful because of things that have happened in the past, and really looking forward to it.”
