Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall have revealed the name of their newborn baby daughter.

The daughter of the England rugby star and the Queen’s granddaughter is called Mia Grace Tindall.

Usually Buckingham Palace would issue the news but Tindall shared the news to his Twitter followers first.

Buckingham Palace broke the news of Phillips’ pregnancy back in July 2013, just before Prince George was born.

Mia Grace Tindall is 16th in line to the throne.
