Pippa Middleton and James Matthews Welcome Third Child
A few weeks ago, Pippa Middleton and James Matthews celebrated the birth of their third child. Their cute newborn is now their second daughter and the youngest grandchild among the 6 Middleton grandchildren.
Pippa Middleton and James Matthews gained fame for their relation to the British Royal Family. Pippa is the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge. This makes her the sister-in-law of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, the second in line to the throne.
Despite her known familial ties, the English socialite works as an author and columnist. Meanwhile, James Matthews was known for being a former racing driver. Nowadays, he works as a hedge fund manager.
Mum of Three
Pippa Middleton is now a mother of three. Tabloids confirmed her pregnancy after she appeared with a baby bump during the Queen's platinum jubilee celebration. Since this happened a month ago, no one knew when she was due.
As she attended the party at the Palace concert, Pippa Middleton was glowing in a bright green dress. At that time, she was with her hedge fund manager husband, her younger brother James Middleton and his wife, Alizée Thévenet.
During their second daughter's birth, Pippa Middleton was 38, while her husband was 46. The couple is also parents to their 3-year-old son Arthur and their 1-year-old daughter Grace.
As of now, they are yet to announce the name of the newest member of their family. The little girl will be a cousin to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's three children. They would be the 8-year-old Prince George, the 7-year-old Princess Charlotte, and the 4-year-old Prince Louis.
Planning a Quiet Life for Their Kids
Pippa Middleton and James Matthews made headlines after tying the knot in May 2017. Their extravagant nuptials took place at St Mark's Church in the Berkshire village of Englefield.
Several high-profile guests, including Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie, attended the wedding. Because of their high-profile life, the Middleton sisters made arrangements to set out a quiet life for their children.
According to some reports, Pippa Middleton plans to move her family to the country, away from the press. The Cambridges announced similar arrangements for the royal children.
The married couple recently purchased a £15m home in Berkshire near Bucklebury. It is the place where Pippa, along with her siblings, grew up. Aside from that, their parents are still living in Berkshire.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also plan to move to Berkshire. The royal family will move to a house on the Queen's Windsor estate this summer. At the same time, the family aims to maintain Kensington Palace as their home in London.
The eldest children, Prince George and Prince Charlotte, will be moving out of their current prep school, Thomas's Battersea. Afterwards, the children will soon enrol in a school near Windsor.
How Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’ Romance Bloomed
Pippa Middleton and James Matthews' romance bloomed at a steady pace. Their paths first crossed back in 2017. At that time, they met at the luxury Eden Rock hotel in St Bart's owned by Matthews' parents. About five years later, they were spotted dining together in late 2012.
Unfortunately, the romance rumours between the two ended when Pippa Middleton confirmed her relationship with Nico Jackson in 2013. However, Pipple Middleton and Nico Jackson eventually ended their relationship in 2015.

Two years later, it was in October 2018 when the couple welcomed their first child, Arthur. Meanwhile, Pippa Middleton gave birth to their second child, Grace, in 2021. Her daughter shares her middle name, Elizabeth, with her aunt, Duchess Kate.
In June 2022, Pippa Middleton confirmed her pregnancy for their third baby. Shortly after, the couple finally welcomed their third bundle of joy. Despite the couple's high-profile status, they were able to maintain an intimate and low-key relationship.
The couple lives in their house in London, which costs $22 million. It is a five-story and six-bedroom residence, including an underground movie theatre and a gym. They began renovating the property the same year they got married.
James Matthews works in finance; he is also the heir to the Scottish title of Laird of Glen Affric. The hedge fund manager is estimated to have a fortune of more than $2 billion.
