When was Pippa Middleton's baby born?

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister gave birth to a baby girl - Grace Elizabeth Jane Matthews - at 4.22am on March 15, 2021. 

Grace's middle names Elizabeth and Grace are a nod to her two grandmothers, Carole Elizabeth Middleton and Jane Matthews. 

The new baby is Carole and Michael Middleton's fifth grandchild.

They are already grandparents to Pippa's first son Arthur, and Prince William and Kate's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

How many children does Pippa Middleton have?

The couple has one two-year-old child as well as their newborn.

Pippa and James named their firstborn Arthur Michael William Matthews.

The second name is of significance as not only is it Pippa's father's name but it also belonged to James' younger brother who died in a tragic mountaineering accident on Everest in 1999, just after becoming the youngest British man to climb to its peak.

On April 21 2018, The Sun exclusively revealed Pippa's pregnancy with their first child.

The couple told close family and friends after her 12-week scan.

On October 15 2018, Pippa gave birth to the couple's son, named Arthur, weighing 8lb 9oz at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London.

When did she marry husband James Matthews?

James and Pippa married on May 20, 2017.

The pair tied the knot at St Mark’s church in Englefield, a village near Reading, in Berkshire.

Guests included Kate, Wills and their children, Prince Harry, Spencer Matthews and Roger Federer.

They first met on the Caribbean island of St Barts in 2007.

However, at the time he didn’t pursue her as he’d just come out of a long-term relationship and was focusing on building up his business. 

In 2012, they dated for a few months but it fizzled out and it was only two years later, when Pippa had split from boyfriend Nico Jackson, that the pair finally became an item.

After seven months, she moved in with him before he proposed to her in July 2016.
