Zara and Mike Tindall seen for the first time since announcing they are expecting their second child
Royal couple were seen as they landed in Australia's Gold Coast with their daughter Mia Grace after spending Christmas in Sydney.
ROYAL couple Zara and Mike Tindall have been seen for the first time since announcing they are expecting a second child together.
Zara, the Queen's granddaughter, landed in Australia's Gold Coast with her husband and three-year-old daughter Mia Grace.
They family made the journey after spending Christmas in Sydney during their working holiday Down Under.
Zara, 36, was sporting a baby bump with the forthcoming child set to be Her Majesty's fifth great-grandchild.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said yesterday that the Royal Family were "very pleased" to hear of the couple's news.
A spokeswoman for the couple said: "I can confirm Zara is pregnant with her second child."
The announcement came as equestrian champion Zara and former England rugby player Tindall enjoyed a working holiday in Australia.
A spokeswoman for the couple said: "I can confirm Zara is pregnant with her second child."
The pregnancy comes just over a year since the couple lost a baby in the days before Christmas in 2016.
A few weeks earlier the couple, who were both professional athletes, announced she was expecting.
In June heartbroken Mike, who won the World Cup with the England rugby team in 2003, revealed how daughter Mia Grace had helped the couple.
He said: "We were very lucky to have Mia in terms of what we've been through.
"The biggest thing you have is an outpouring of support and that was the best thing about social media... a good thing for once."
The baby is expected to arrive in the summer, a few months after the Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to her third child.
Zara is the daughter of Anne, Princess Royal and her first husband Captain Mark Phillips.
She represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics in London where she won a silver medal in the equestrian discipline of eventing.
She and her brother Peter Phillips do not hold any Royal titles after their father turned down noble ranks offered to him when he married the Queen's daughter.
