Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, welcomed a third child into her brood earlier this month when she gave birth to a baby girl. Following in the footsteps of her older sister, the 38-year-old welcomed her newest arrival into the world at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, which is where Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were born.
The baby girl makes an exciting addition to the family, as Pippa and her husband, James Matthews, have given their children a little sister. Pippa and James already had Arthur, who was born in 2018, and Grace, who was born last year.
The sweet new arrival has reportedly been called Rose, a name which has proved popular amongst a number of celebrities in the last year. In October, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash welcomed their Rose into the world, which scuppered Danielle Lloyd's plan to call her daughter Rose, forcing her to choose the name Autumn Rose instead when she gave birth in November.

Pippa's classic name of choice for her youngest daughter has a connection to her sister's family-in-law. Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opted for a partly-floral name for their second child, who they named Lilibet in honour of the Queen, who was affectionately called Lilibet as a child; Meghan and Harry shorten their daughter's name to 'Lili'.
It was not public knowledge that Pippa was pregnant until last month, when she appeared at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations in a green dress, with her bump clearly evident underneath. Rose is a sixth grandchild for Carole and Michael Middleton.
Just as the Cambridges are planning to do, Pippa and her family are reportedly moving out of the Capital after buying a new home in Berkshire, in Pippa and Kate's childhood village of Bucklebury. This summer, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are moving their family out of London to the Queen's Windsor estate in Berkshire to be closer to Her Majesty, and to give their three children a different childhood.
Pippa and James' new home in the sticks is a £15million Georgian mansion which boasts 30 rooms and approximately 150 acres of land; the couple are thought to have purchased their new home privately, as it was not on the general market where just anybody could snap it up. Pippa and James tied the knot in May 2017 at St Mark's Church in Engelfield, Berkshire, near the Middleton family home.
In addition to the Duchess of Cambridge, a number of royals attended Pippa and James' wedding. The Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry, and Princess Beatrice also watched as the couple tied the knot.
It has been suggested that Pippa, just like her older sister, will inherit an aristocratic title through marriage. David Matthews, Pippa's father-in-law, is the Laird of Glen Affric and owns the 10,000-acre estate near Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
When David passes away, James, as his eldest son, will inherit the title, and it is anticipated Pippa will be given a title of her own - one which would be recognised in the Commonwealth. Speaking to the Daily Mail in 2016, Australian art historian Michael Reed said: "In coming years and particularly as the future Lady Glen Affric, Pippa Middleton will be able to entertain lavishly on her husband's grand Scottish Glen Affric Estate."
James' brother is Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, who is married to Irish model and media personality Vogue Williams. The pair married in 2018 and have three children together, Theodore, Gigi, and Otto.
