Lena Tindall celebrates her 8th birthday today and here are 11 adorable pictures of her

Lena Elizabeth Tindall is celebrating her seventh birthday today. Despite being only eight years old, Zara and Mike Tindall's youngest daughter stands as a member of one of the world's most famous families - although she has been shielded from the spotlight for most of her life.
The young royal - who is a sister to 11-year-old Mia and five-year-old Lucas - was born on June 18, 2018 at Stroud Maternity Unit in Gloucestershire. Her name was publicly revealed just over a week after her birth - with her middle name paying homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Here, the Daily Express looks at 11 adorable pictures of the late Queen Elizabeth II's great-granddaughter to mark her birthday today.

Lena is the second-born daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall. Her big sister Mia was aged just four at the time of her birth. She was promoted to the role of big sister herself in March 2021 after the birth of Lucas. The now-eight-year-old is the fourth grandchild of Princess Anne - and is currently 24th in line to the throne. She was born weighing 9lbs 3oz and, like Princess Charlotte, shares the middle name Elizabeth after the late Queen.

Zara is pictured carrying little Lena on day 2 of the 2019 Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park in Stroud, England. Speaking at the time they announced Lena's first name, her parents said that it is pronounced Lay-na. A spokesman for Zara and Mike said: "It was just a name they liked." The origins of 'Lena' is said to be Greek, with possible meanings including "illustrious", "temptress" and "the bright one".

Prior to Zara's pregnancy with Lena, the royal had been pregnant and was due in spring 2017. However, in December 2016, it was announced the couple had lost their baby. Zara's pregnancy with Lena was announced in early 2018. Here she is pictured with two of her cousins, Peter Phillips' daughters Isla and Savannah, now aged 14 and 15.

Lena was spotted making faces to Charlotte, now aged 11, during events for the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022. Mike previously spoke of the close bond between his children - including Mia and Lucas - and Prince George, Princess Charlotte [pictured] and Prince Louis. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Lena's father said: "Lena and obviously Louis are similar ages and Mia's sort of in between Charlotte and George, and then you've got Peter's children Savannah and Isla who are just a little bit older. James [Prince Edward's son] is, well not exactly the ring leader, but he's the oldest. So, yeah, it's going to be a good little group."

Although Mike and Zara have largely kept their children out of the spotlight, Lena has joined her parents at some royal events, in particular stepping out on Christmas Day for the annual walk to church at the Sandringham estate. Here, the young royal is seen holding hands with her parents in 2022.
