Pippa Middleton sparks pregnancy speculation with Queen's Jubilee pictures

Pippa Middleton sparked speculation she was expecting her third child with husband James Matthews in photographs at the Queen's Jubilee.

The 38-year-old younger sister of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, has been married to former professional racing driver James, 46, since 2017 and together they already have two children, three-year-old son Arthur and one-year-old Grace.

But there is speculation the couple are set to become parents again – with royal fans noticing her showing off a growing bump over the Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations.

Hello! Magazine reported late on Saturday: "The Party at the Palace to commemorate the Queen's 70-year reign was full of surprises, including the reveal that Pippa Middleton is expecting her third child!"

They added: "The Duchess of Cambridge's sister is notoriously private when it comes to her family and had not made public the news that she and husband James Matthews are expecting again before Saturday's appearance."

Pippa wore a striking green dress by luxury and contemporary fashion company ME+EM for the event.

And she joined her sister, Kate, brother-in-law Prince William and her nephews and niece Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte.

PageSix claimed Pippa is pregnant, with a source telling the outlet that the couple are “so happy” and Pippa is a “natural mama”.

Earlier this year, details of her wedding day arrived as it was revealed why Meghan Markle had been left off the invite list.

Other members of the royal family were involved in the day as Prince George was a pageboy and Princess Charlotte a bridesmaid.

But the book Finding Freedom, from authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, claimed that Meghan had been banned from the ceremony despite planning to attend.

She had even bought a new outfit and a hat - but the decision was made that she should not attend the nuptials.

The authors claim that Pippa and her mum Carole were concerned that Meghan's presence may "overshadow the main event".

While the big day was held a year before Meghan and Prince Harry became married themselves.

They also added that a headline that ran on the morning of the wedding, comparing Pippa and Meghan's bottoms, was the final straw.

The book says: "Harry and Meghan agreed that she couldn't possibly turn up at the church, only fifty metres away from a specially arranged media pen, after such a crass cover story.

"If they worried their arrival might create a media circus despite taking every precaution, now they had no doubt that it would.

"Meghan's church outfit and Philip Treacy hat would have to be worn another time."

Instead, Harry dropped Meghan off at another wedding guest's Airbnb and then drove to the church alone.
