The Queen's granddaughter Zara Tindall and her husband, former rugby player Mike Tindall, are celebrating the birth of their third child, who was born at home on the bathroom floor after the couple were unable to get to a hospital in time.
Lucas Philip Tindall was born Sunday, weighing in at 3742g, a representative for the couple said Wednesday. His middle name is in honour of both Mike Tindall's father as well as Zara's grandfather, Prince Philip. He is 22nd in line to the throne, but won't take a
royal title.
Tindall, 42, revealed that the speed of the arrival of the latest royal baby — he is the Queen's 10th great-grandchild — caught the couple off guard and that he had to rush to get a mat for his 39-year-old wife, who like her mother, Princess Anne, enjoyed a successful equestrian career.
"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," he said on The Good, The Bad & The Rugby podcast.
