Pippa, 37, and James, who wed in 2017, are already parents to two-year-old son Arthur Michael William Matthews . Princess Charlotte’s maternal aunt confirmed her first pregnancy in her fitness column for Waitrose Weekend magazine. “I’ve noticed my body change but through exercise I feel it’s being strengthened,” she wrote in 2018.

Like her older sister, Pippa gave birth to her first child in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital. Following their nephew’s birth,  Prince William   and Kate Middleton released a statement congratulating Pippa and James. “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thrilled for Pippa and James,” the statement read. “Everyone is delighted, and mother and baby are doing well.”

Pippa made a rare appearance earlier this month posing in front of a Christmas tree, while sporting a red Christmas sweater. The festive photo was shared by Mary Hare School, which offers an education for deaf children and young people. The caption read: “Well done to all our primary and secondary pupils who received awards today for their Christmas card designs from our Ambassador #PippaMiddleton.”
