Buckingham Palace said the Queen and the Royal Family were delighted by Zara's pregnancy.
A spokesman said: "The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh and members of the Royal Family are delighted with the news."
Zara, daughter of the Princess Royal, missed out on the Rio Olympics this year after she failed to make the British Equestrian Federation's nominated rider list.
The former world eventing champion helped the Great Britain team win a silver medal at London 2012 and had been hoping to bring back a gold from Brazil.
Zara is also one of George's godmothers.
Earlier this year, Mia was pictured holding the Queen's famous black handbag when the monarch posed for an Annie Leibovitz photograph with her great-grandchildren to mark her 90th birthday.
The family live on the Princess Royal's Gatcombe Park country estate in Gloucestershire.
