Hey there, royal watchers! While everyone's been glued to the screen for Kate Middleton's latest bundle of joy and Meghan Markle’s jaw-dropping royal wedding, one royal birth has been flying under the radar. Queen Elizabeth’s granddaughter, Zara Tindall, just welcomed a baby girl who's not just adorable but also downright massive. This little one tips the scales as the heaviest royal baby in decades, and trust me, that’s something worth celebrating. So let’s raise a glass of wine and give a hearty congratulations to Zara and her family!

Now, here’s the scoop. On June 19, Buckingham Palace officially announced that Zara had given birth to her new baby girl the day prior. Weighing in at an impressive 9 lbs. and 3 oz., this little powerhouse has officially shattered the record set by Prince Louis just a few months ago, who weighed in at 8 lbs. and 7 oz. at birth. For context, Zara’s firstborn, Mia Tindall, weighed a respectable 7 lbs. and 12 oz. back in 2014. Meanwhile, her charming cousins, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, came into the world weighing 8 lbs. and 6 oz., and 8 lbs. and 3 oz., respectively. This little one's got some serious size on her side, don't you think?

A Royal Weight Record-Breaker

Before Zara’s little powerhouse entered the world, the title of heaviest royal baby went to Savannah Phillips, the cutie who hilariously shushed Prince George during the Trooping the Colour ceremony. Born in 2010, Savannah tipped the scales at 8 lbs. and 8 oz. However, since her grandfather, Princess Anne’s husband Mark Phillips, opted out of a royal title, Savannah doesn’t technically carry one herself. Had Mark chosen differently, Savannah would have held onto the crown—until now, that is. Zara's baby girl has officially claimed the throne (or should we say bassinet?) of the heaviest royal newborn.

A Special Little Miracle

Life hasn’t always been easy for Zara and her rugby-star husband, Mike Tindall. Back in December 2016, Zara revealed she had suffered a miscarriage, making the arrival of their new baby girl, Lena Tindall, all the more precious. In a heartfelt interview with The Sunday Times in May 2017, Mike opened up about the tough times and how their daughter Mia has been a source of strength for them. "No matter how down we feel, Mia always knows how to cheer us up," Mike shared. "She’s such a ray of sunshine. Now, with Lena here, our family feels even more complete. I can’t wait to take both girls swimming, to Ninja Tots classes, and watch them grow up together."

And speaking of Lena, we’re all eagerly waiting for those first official photos of Mike and Zara’s new bundle of joy. Lena is already making waves as one of the most talked-about royal babies of the year, and who could blame her? With her impressive size and a heartwarming backstory, she’s already a star in her own right.
