Royal baby news to start the week

In the week that doctors expect future Queen Consort Kate Middleton to give birth to her first baby, there's more news in the royal nursery as the Queen's granddaughter, Zara Phillips, is also expecting.  Mrs Tindall as she is now is due to have her first child in early 2014, bringing Queen Elizabeth II's tally of great grandchildren to four.

Baby Tindall will be 16th in line to the throne when he or she arrives and won't have a royal title.  And what a way to start seven days which could end with the birth of a future heir to the throne.
