[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] The Times reported on the 24th (local time) that Queen Elizabeth II's great-grandchild was born so quickly that the birth took place on the bathroom floor at home.

According to the report, Zara Tindall, the Queen's granddaughter and daughter of Princess Anne, gave birth to her third child on the bathroom floor at home on the evening of the 21st without even having time to go to the hospital.

Her husband, British rugby star Mike Tindall, appeared on a rugby podcast and said, "It came out so quickly that we couldn't even make it to the hospital."

Tindall recounted the hectic situation at the time, saying, "I ran to get a mat, laid it on the bathroom floor, and placed towels."

The newborn is the Queen's 10th great-grandchild and is 22nd in the line of succession to the throne.

The child's name was chosen as Lucas Philip Tindall, named after the Queen's husband, Prince Philip, and Tindall's father.

Buckingham Palace released an official statement saying, "The Queen and her husband are delighted to hear the news and look forward to meeting the baby when the time is right."
