They added that the baby’s name will be confirmed "in due course."

The couple were both at the royal wedding last month with heavily-pregnant Zara reportedly complaining she needed the toilet during the ceremony.

Zara fell pregnant in November 2016 however next month she suffered a miscarriage.
It is believed she was around four months pregnant at the time. As a result, she missed the Royal Family's annual celebrations at Sandringham.

Princess Anne's daughter has not spoken publicly about the tragedy but former England rugby captain Mike later said: "One thing you do learn is how many other people have to go through the same thing.

"The saving grace for us has been Mia. However down we feel, she will come running up in our faces."

The new royal, who is currently 19th in line to the throne, arrives two months after the birth of Elizabeth's sixth great-grandchild, Prince Louis, the third child of her grandson Prince William and his wife Kate.

Zara, 37, won an equestrian silver at the London Olympic Games in 2012 while her 39-year-old husband was part of the England team that won the rugby World Cup in 2003.
