Then in March 2021, the couple welcomed their first son, called Lucas Phillip.

Zara has also opened up in the past about the two miscarriages she went through.

Revealing the devastating news in an interview with the Sunday Times, she said: "For me, the worst bit was that we had to tell everyone - everyone knew. I had to go through having the baby because it was so far along. I then had another miscarriage really early on."

She went on to add: "It was a time when my family came to the fore and I needed them. "You need to go through a period where you don't talk about it because it's too raw, but, as with everything, time's a great healer."

How old are they?

Zara and Mike's first child, Mia Grace was born on January 17, 2014

This means that Mia celebrated her ninth birthday in 2023.

Lena Elizabeth was born on June 18, 2018 and is five years old.

Initially, she was supposed to be named Elena, but they got rid of the name last minute because Zara didn't want her initials to be "ET".

Their youngest child, Lucas, was born on March 21, 2021, which makes him two-years-old as of December 2023.

When did Zara meet Mike Tindall?

Zara - born on May 15, 1981 - an equistrian and Olympic silver medallist, married former rugby star Mike Tindall - born on October 18, 1978 -  in 2011.

The two of them first crossed paths during England's Rugby World Cup-winning campaign in Australia in 2003, when she was 22-years-old.

They were introduced to each other in a bar in Sydney by Zara’s cousin Prince Harry.

In 2010, they announced they were engagement and went on to tied the knot on July 30, 2011.

As required by the Royal Marriages Act 1772 - which has since been repealed - the Queen gave her consent to their marriage in a meeting of the Privy Council on 10 May 2011.

They live together at their home in Gloucestershire along with their three children.

Mike and Zara are often considered by the public as being the most relatable couple in the royal family.

Despite being married to a royal, Mike is seen as a "regular" celebrity and went on to compete in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022 and has his own podcast with fellow rugby players called The Good, The Bad and The Rugby.

Who is Zara's mum Princess Anne?

The late Queen had four children herself: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

Zara's mother was born Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise on August 15, 1950, and has the title Princess Royal.

She married Captain Mark Phillips in 1973 but they called time on their relationship and got divorced in 1992.

Anne went on to marry for a second time in 1992 to Timothy Laurence.

Princess Anne had Zara Tindall, née Phillips, and Peter Phillips with Mark Phillips.

Anne is known for being the busiest member of the Royal Family in regards to official engagements.

Back in 2017, she made a total of 455 appearances at events, dinners and receptions around the UK, and did 85 engagements overseas.
