Pippa Middleton Welcomes Third Child, Joining Prince William and Catherine’s Growing Family
Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, recently welcomed her third child with husband James Matthews, adding to the joy of the royal family.
The couple's newest addition, a baby girl, was born a few weeks ago at the prestigious Lindow Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London, the same place where Pippa's nephews and niece, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were born.
The 38-year-old Pippa and her 46-year-old husband are already parents to Arthur, born in October 2018, and Grace, who arrived in March 2021.
Pippa's third pregnancy was confirmed when she proudly displayed her baby bump at a palace party celebrating the Queen's platinum anniversary in June.
She was later spotted in London wearing a loose-fitted navy blue dress while pushing her child in a pram.
Speculation about Pippa's pregnancy heightened when the family reportedly purchased a £15 million family home in Berkshire.
Despite the secrecy surrounding the birth, subtle hints suggested that Pippa welcomed her third baby a few weeks ago.
Her absence from the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's lack of public engagements further fueled speculation about the timing of the birth.
While the newborn's name has not been disclosed, she will be a cousin to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, and the sixth grandchild of Carol and Mike Middleton.
Carol Middleton expressed her excitement about being a grandmother, eagerly anticipating spending time with her grandchildren and engaging in various activities with them.
Sources revealed that Pippa and James are planning to move their family to a village near Bucklebury in Berkshire, a property worth £15 million.
This move will bring the Middleton family closer together, as it is the same area where Pippa, Catherine, and their brother James grew up, and where their parents still reside.
The new location is also conveniently close to Windsor, where Catherine and William are expected to relocate over the summer.
Pippa has been balancing parenting with studying for a master's degree in physical education, sport, and physical literacy at the University of Wales, Trinity St David.
Her dedication to her studies has been praised, with her work set to be presented at a summit in Luxembourg.
Reflecting on her academic journey, Pippa shared her appreciation for the support she received and the opportunity to delve back into learning.
As Pippa and James look forward to settling down, expanding their family, and embracing a quieter life, the Middleton clan is gearing up for a new chapter filled with love, growth, and cherished moments together.
