Zara Phillips has given birth to a baby girl.
The 32-year-old granddaughter of Britain's Queen Elizabeth welcomed her first child into the world with husband Mike Tindall today (17.01.14).
The little girl, who was born at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, is yet to be named but weighed a healthy 7lbs 12oz.
The queen has been informed of the arrival. She is said to be "delighted" by the news and rugby player Mike was present at the birth.
It is not known what time Zara gave birth but the news has been confirmed by Buckingham Palace.
A spokesman said: "Mrs Michael Tindall today safely delivered a baby girl at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
"Mr Tindall was present at the birth. The weight of the baby was 7lbs 12oz.
"The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal, Captain Mark Phillips and Mike's parents, Mr Phillip and Mrs Linda Tindall, have been informed and are delighted with the news.
"The baby's name will be confirmed in due course.
"This baby is the first child for Zara and Mike, the third grandchild for The Princess Royal and the fourth great-grandchild for The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh, and is 16th line to the Throne."
Zara married rugby player Mike, 35, on July 30 2011, after they announced their engagement the year before.
