The baby boy was born on the bathroom floor of their home in Gloucestershire, south-west England, around 6pm, after “arriving very quickly”.
“He was running to the gym, grabbing a mat, going into the bathroom, putting the mat on the floor, the towels down, braces, braces, braces,” Tindall said.
The baby, named Lucas Philip, weighed 8 lbs 4 oz at birth, a spokesperson for the couple told CNN.
The couple’s other two children, Mia Grace and Lena Elizabeth, were not home Sunday for the new arrival, but have since seen him again and are “over the moon,” said Mike Tindall.
The midwife, who was to meet them at the hospital, is quickly on the scene because she is not far away, and a second came “as the head arrived”, he added.
Zara feels healthy, he said, and has taken the baby for a walk.
“She was a warrior, as always, they always are,” Tindall said. “We can never judge a woman by what she has to endure in childbirth.”
He said there were advantages to having a home birth. After Lucas arrived, Tindall watched an old game of rugby and golf with his new son.
Zara Tindall is an accomplished equestrian, having won a silver medal in a team event at the London Olympics in 2012.
She met her future husband at the 2003 Rugby World Cup while playing for England. The couple married in Edinburgh in 2011.
