Lockdown baby Lucas Tindall is frequently pictured putting on an adorable display while petting horses with his equestrian-obsessed mother, Zara.

But it turns out the Lucas, three today, takes after his parents in more ways than one...

Father and former England rugby player Mike Tindall earned himself the title of the 'cool, fun uncle' at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, donning a coordinated beige suit and entertaining an unruly Prince Louis.

But he is also famed for his character-filled facial expressions and he seems to have passed on his frown to his youngest son.

As the pair cheered for Zara at the Barefoot Retreats Burnham Market International Horse Trials in Norfolk last year, young Lucas' furrowed brow and concerned look paid an uncanny resemblance to his father. 

Mike and his wife Zara, King Charles III's niece, share three children - Mia, ten, Lena, five, and Lucas, three.

Meanwhile, announcing the birth of their youngest child on the podcast The Good, The Bad and the Rugby, Mike hailed his wife as a 'warrior' after she had to give birth to Lucas on the bathroom floor of their home on the Gatcombe Park estate.

The couple organised childcare for Mia and Lena after Zara had experienced contractions the night before but they didn't have time to get to the hospital.

Mike recalled: 'It was run into the gym, get a mat, get into the bathroom, towels down, brace brace brace!'

'Fortunately the midwife that was going to meet us at the hospital wasn't that far away so she drove up, got there just as we'd assumed the position, and then the second midwife arrived just after the head had arrived!'

Asked how Zara was doing, he replied: 'As every man will say, she was a warrior, as always. They always are. 

'We can never judge a woman in terms of what they have to go through with childbirth so... no, she was back up, we went for a walk this morning with him, and yeah all good.'

But Mike said she was in so much pain, she 'almost choked me to death' when speaking about Lucas's birth during his appearance on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! in 2022.

The proud father revealed that as soon as Lucas was born, he took him straight downstairs to watch a 'ridiculously old' Bath versus Wigan rugby match.

Zara and Mike were the first royals to openly speak about having two miscarriages after the birth of their eldest daughter in 2014.

Speaking about her experience to The Sunday Times in 2018, Zara said the hardest part of her first miscarriage was having to tell the world because news of the pregnancy had been made public.

She explained: 'In our case, it was something that was really rare; it was nature saying, "This one's not right." I had to go through having the baby because it was so far along.'

The royal couple first met while in Australia for the 2003 Rugby World Cup and have been married since 2011.

Mike candidly discussed their first date on I'm A Celeb, saying: 'First actual date, just went out for lunch locally. And ended up being quite a boozy one. Then we figured out that we both quite like getting smashed. It was a good start.

He recalled: 'I was at the World Cup, she was out watching. I got dropped from the semi-final. 

'I was p****d off and so I went for a beer with another guy who got dropped and a guy who was over [in Sydney]. They'd met her before and they introduced us and then got chatting.'

The pair live on Zara's mother, Princess Anne's, estate Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire - which was bought as a wedding present for the princess by her mother, the late Queen.

Anne and her ex-husband Captain Mark Phillips moved in 1977 and raised their two children Zara and her older brother Peter on the estate.
