He’s the former England rugby team captain and she’s an Olympic medallist and the Queen’s granddaughter, so the daughter of Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips has a competitive edge when it comes to sport.

But the couple have spoken out about their daughter Mia, who was welcomed in January, saying they can hopefully pass their love of staying active onto her.

“We have always had sport in our lives and through our childhood. I think that really is important in every child’s life to have that opportunity,” Zara was quoted in The Express.

Tindall said: “She will be whatever she wants to be, we will support that, but realistically we will have to wait and see on that one.”
