ZARA TINDALL
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY PLENTY TO CELEBRATE AS SHE ENTERS A NEW DECADE
REPORT: TRACY SCHAVERIEN
He is too young for the rough and tumble enjoyed by his sisters Mia, seven, and Lena, two, but six-week-old Lucas was the star attraction on a day out with mum Zara Tindall at the Cirencester Park International Horse Trials ahead of her 40th birthday this week.
Taking the latest addition to her family for his first public outing, the doting mum beamed with joy as she gazed into her son’s pram while chatting to fellow spectators who had stopped to see the newborn.
Zara’s horse Classicals Euro Star was competing at the event, but she appeared to only have eyes for her son, who made a dramatic entrance to the world when his former rugby star father Mike, 42, delivered him on the bathroom floor.
Lucas’s fast birth echoed that of his mum, who herself made “a sudden and positive” arrival into the world at the Lindo Wing of London’s St Mary’s Hospital on 15 May, 1981, according to her mother the Princess Royal.
