Mike Tindall and Zara Tindall share the experience of expecting another child after tragic miscarriage in 2016
We last saw happy parents-to-be, Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on May 19. While eyes were on the couple of the day, Zara's baby bump did manage to capture a fair share of attention. Zara and Mike are expecting another royal baby almost a year after announcing that they had suffered a tragic miscarriage. The couple announced that they were pregnant with their second child in November 2016 but revealed the news of the miscarriage in December.
Zara and Mike had their first child Mia Tindall in the year 2014 who celebrated her fourth birthday in 2018. The Royal couple met in the year 2003 and decided to get engaged in the year 2010. They went on to get married a year later in 2011. Zara is 17th in line for the throne as well as a British equestrian while Mike is a former Rugby player for England.
Revealing how it was sitting through the entire royal ceremony, in an interview with Magic Breakfast's Ronan Keating and Harriet Scott, Mike revealed that Zara was eight and a half months pregnant and was struggling to find a dress for the occasion.
"Obviously it’s not easy being 8 and half months pregnant so there have been a few re-fittings. She looks beautiful anyway, she always does," Mike sweetly shared.
At the end of all the struggles and fittings, Zara ended up wearing a deep teal dress with a Peter Pan collar and a matching fascinator to the royal wedding, while Mike wore a black suit with a lavender tie and white pocket square and sported a scruffy beard.
The couple was seen laughing and smiling as they made their way to Windsor Castle for the event and the cameras caught the pair chatting and Tindall rubbing his wife's pregnant belly once inside the event. Fans caught the PDA and mentioned the adorable moment in several comments.
Zara will give birth in another month. A spokesperson for the couple announced their pregnancy and the statement read, "I can confirm Zara is pregnant with her second child." Zara's new-born will be the Queen's seventh great-grandchild.
A spokesman for Buckingham Palace shared, "The Queen and members of the royal family were very pleased to hear this news."
In the year 2016, the couple went through a difficult and dark phase and on Christmas eve, they tragically announced that they had lost their baby only four weeks after announcing that they were pregnant. At the time of the tragedy, a spokeswoman said, "Very sadly, Zara and Mike Tindall have lost their baby. At this difficult time, we ask that everyone respects their privacy."
But keeping the sadness at bay, more recently, in March, the 35-year-old was snapped riding Rum Expectations on the first day of the event at Gatcombe Park, the country residence of Princess Anne in Gloucestershire. Little Mia stole the show as she enjoyed the event alongside her father. As for now, Zara shows no signs of weariness as she came to the Jerudong Park Polo Day at Cirencester Park Polo Club as she watched Prince William play a match in May.
Now after Kate Middleton's third child, Prince Louis, the next royal birth to be watched will be Zara’s new addition to the growing number of royal cousins.
