The Queen’s granddaughter Zara Tindall and her husband, Mike, are expecting their second child, a spokeswoman for the couple has said.



A Buckingham Palace spokesman said the Queen was pleased to hear the news.

The announcement came while the equestrian champion and her husband, a former England rugby player, were on a working holiday in Australia.

“The Queen and members of the royal family were very pleased to hear this news,” the Buckingham Palace spokesman said.

Zara Tindall had a miscarriage in December 2016.
