Magical Mia Tindall: a look back at her most memorable moments as she celebrates her 9th birthday
Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are all – we all agree – utterly adorable and spark waves of adoration every time they step out for an engagement. But there is another royal youngster who is just as endearing: Mia Tindall, the nine-year-old daughter of Zara and Mike.
Born in 2014, Mia is the granddaughter of the Princess Royal and a great-granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II, making her 19th in the line of succession. However, she does not hold a formal royal rank. When Mia’s mother, Zara, was born in 1981, her parents, Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, declined to give her a title.
The grieving queen paid tribute to the 1964 ceremony
In June 2018, Mia became a big sister when Mike and Zara Tindall welcomed Lena Elizabeth Tindall. Three years later, in March 2021, the Tindall family grew once again when little Lucas Philip was born.
Energetic and with bundles of joy, Mia has proven that she’s always ready for a photo opportunity. From being carried across a rugby pitch in the arms of her father Mike, to leaning out of a window to watch Trooping the Colour next to her cousins Prince George, Prince Charlotte and Prince Louis, life is never quiet when Mia is around.
