The Queen is 'delighted' at the couple's news

The baby was born on the couple's bathroom floor after they were unable to make it to hospital in time.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are "delighted" at the news, Buckingham Palace said.

They "look forward to meeting their 10th great-grandchild when circumstances allow", a spokesman added.

Lucas' middle name is in honour of both Mr Tindall's father as well as Mrs Tindall's grandfather.

The couple already have two children - seven-year-old Mia and two-year-old Lena.

Mr Tindall said Mia was "over the moon" at the new arrival and Lena had declared Lucas was "her baby".

Mrs Tindall is the daughter of Anne, the Princess Royal - the Queen's only daughter.
