Kate Middleton’s younger sister, Pippa Middleton, recently welcomed her third child with husband James Matthews. The couple are also parents to three-year-old son Arthur and one-year-old daughter Grace.

According to People, the socialite-journalist reportedly gave birth to a baby girl a few weeks ago in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, where the Duchess of Cambridge previously welcomed all three of her children.

Middleton’s pregnancy was first confirmed in June after she displayed her baby bump in a green dress at London’s “Party at the Palace” concert for Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebration.

She was accompanied at the event by her husband, her brother James Middleton, his wife Alizee Thevenet and parents Carole and Michael Middleton.

The event also saw the presence of Kate Middleton and Prince William, along with their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. A source close to Pippa Middleton reportedly told People that the socialite is planning to “have children and lead a quiet life” with her husband.

The publication also noted that the pair are likely to move to a village near Bucklebury, in Berkshire, with their children. The residence is reportedly 50 minutes from Windsor Castle, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to relocate this summer.
