Mike announced the news on a podcast that he co-hosts, The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, telling his fellow presenters: "It’s been a good week for me, had a little scan last week—third Tindall on its way."
He even went on to add: "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."
The couple’s previous pregnancies have been announced by Buckingham Palace, so this is definitely a break from tradition, but a Buckingham Palace spokesperson has since stated: "Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh are aware and delighted."
The couple already share two daughters, Mia and Lena Elizabeth. The future arrival, like their sisters, won’t have a royal title.
Zara, the Queen's eldest granddaughter and daughter of Princess Anne, has opened up about suffering two miscarriages in the past before falling pregnant with her second daughter, Lena.
Huge congratulations to Zara and Mike on their future arrival.
