Zara and Mike Tindall Announce Name of Newborn Daughter
Zara and Mike Tindall, a member of the royal family, recently welcomed their second child on June 18.
Today, the couple announced the name of their newborn daughter, Lena Elizabeth.
The announcement was made by a spokesperson for the couple.
It is believed that Lena's middle name is a nod to her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
Lena Elizabeth is the seventh great-grandchild for the Queen and the fourth grandchild for Princess Anne, the Queen's daughter.
Lena is also the 19th in line for the throne.

Lena will be joining a family already filled with adorable kids, including her second cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who was born in April.
Lena's older sister is four-year-old Mia, who has been charming royal watchers with her scene-stealing antics.
The birth of Lena is especially meaningful for the couple as Zara suffered a miscarriage in December 2016.
Mia helped her parents get through the devastating ordeal.
Mike said, “the saving grace for us has been Mia, our daughter who is now three.
However down we feel she will come running up in our faces.
When I was playing I hardly saw her, now we can see her grow up, I can take her swimming and I can take her to Ninja Tots.
You'll never be able to see her there because she disappears in a puff of smoke.”
Zara and Kate Middleton have seen their two families grow along similar timelines.
Most recently, Kate and Zara made an Easter appearance together when they were both in their third trimester.
Prince Louis arrived 22 days later.
