Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall have announced they are expecting a second child.
Thrilled at the thought of a brother or sister for two-year-old daughter Mia, the couple will be providing the Queen with her sixth great-grandchild.
The monarch is said to be “delighted”. Mike also expressed his joy, taking to Twitter to thank the public for their messages and adding “2017 is already starting well!”

The equestrian star and former England rugby player went through a lot of firsts with their first child, Mia. She was born in an NHS hospital – rather than a private one like cousins George and Charlotte.
Zara was also the first major member of the royal family to sell photographs of their baby to a magazine with the royal providing the cover for Hello! at a reported sum of £150,000.
The latest addition to the royal family will be due some time in spring.
