Update, 7/27/22: Pippa and James have reportedly named their third child Rose. The name is a classic choice, and roses are the birth month flower for June. Rose joins her older siblings 3-year-old Arthur and 1-year-old Grace.
Original, 7/11/22: Like her sister Kate, Pippa Middleton is now officially a mom of three. Pippa and her husband James Matthews welcomed their third child a few weeks ago, according to People.
Just last month, Pippa debuted her baby bump at the Party at the Palace concert during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee weekend. Pippa and James attended alongside Pippa's brother, James Middleton, and James's wife Alizée Thévenet.
Baby Matthews is Carole and Michael Middleton's sixth grandchild. Last year, Carole opened up about being a grandmother, telling Good Housekeeping UK, "I want to run down the hills, climb the trees and go through the tunnel at the playground. As long as I am able to, that’s what I’ll be doing. I cook with them, I muck around dancing, we go on bike rides."
Pippa and James married in May 2017, and welcomed son Arthur Michael William Matthews in October 2018, and daughter Grace Elizabeth Jane Matthews in March 2021. Both Arthur and Grace were born in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, where Pippa's sister Kate also had all three of her children.
There's no word yet on their newest daughter's name.
Pippa has been very busy lately: In addition to giving birth, in early July, she obtained her master's degree from the Physical Education, Sport and Physical Literacy program at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. Pippa will present her research this fall in Luxembourg.
"I am passionate about sport and exercise and also love being with children." Pippa said in a statement. "I wanted to find a topic that combined these two and felt that there wasn’t enough information, knowledge or focus on early years physical development for mums particularly. I wanted to learn to not only help my own children but to also continue work in the field to stress the importance of children moving from an early age."
Pippa is usually a regular at Wimbledon, but skipped the tournament this year due to the arrival of her third child.
