LONDON — Another baby is on the way for Britain’s royal family.
According to The Associated Press, Zara Tindall, daughter of Princess Anne and granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, is expecting her third child with husband Mike Tindall, he said on his podcast Wednesday. The couple, who wed in 2011, also share two daughters, Mia, 6, and Lena, 2.
“I’d like a boy this time. ... I’ll love it whether a boy or a girl, but please be a boy,” Mike Tindall, 42, said on the podcast, according to the AP. The former rugby player also made a tongue-in-cheek remark that he and his wife, 39, are considering the names “Covi or Covinna,” a nod to the coronavirus pandemic.
Zara Tindall, who has suffered past miscarriages, is “really looking forward” to the new arrival, her husband added. He did not say when the baby is due, the AP reported.
The queen and her husband, Prince Philip, know about the pregnancy and are “delighted,” a spokesman told People magazine.
