The pair are already parents to three-year-old Mia Grace Tindall, who was born in January 2014.
This happy news is much welcomed, after the difficult time that the couple had in 2016. The couple announced that they were expecting their second child at this time, but Zara Phillips unfortunately suffering a miscarriage.
We are absolutely delighted for the happy couple and congratulate them. We also wait (impatiently) for the name to be revealed!
