Pippa Middleton's Kids With Husband James: Meet Their Children

Pippa Middleton‘s heart doubled in size when she welcomed her second child, Grace Elizabeth Jane, with husband James Matthews. The English socialite and her spouse, who are already parents to son Arthur, expanded their family in March 2021.

Page Six reported the news of Pippa’s pregnancy in December 2020, noting the British author and James were “thrilled” to welcome the little one into their life. The “entire family,” including Pippa’s parents, Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton, were “delighted” as well.

Pippa’s mother confirmed her daughter’s second pregnancy during a conversation with Good Housekeeping UK in March 2021. “I hope to see more of my family than I could last year, including, of course, my new grandchild,” she gushed to the outlet.

With Duchess Kate (née Middleton) as her big sister, we bet Pippa has received a ton of motherly advice throughout her pregnancy and childbirth. Now that baby Grace is here, this means Kate’s kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have a new baby cousin!

Pippa and the British racing driver welcomed their first son, Arthur, more than a year after tying the knot in May 2017. Following his arrival, a royal spokesperson shared an official statement on behalf of Kate and her husband, Prince William.

“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thrilled for Pippa and James,” the statement read. Arthur’s birth was also confirmed by Pippa’s representative in London. “He was born weighing 8 pounds and 9 ounces,” representative Jo Milloy told USA Today. “Everyone is delighted and mother and baby are doing well.”

Kate was by Pippa’s side throughout her entire first pregnancy. The two sisters are extremely close, so the beloved duchess was “giving Pippa lots of tips on what’s to come,” a source told Life & Style in 2018. “When they were younger, they’d always share stories about boys and school life. Now they’re sharing pregnancy stories!”

There’s no doubt Pippa and James are embracing their new lives as a family of four, but it’s hard not to wonder if the two are done having babies. Prior to starting their family, a previous source told Life & Style that Pippa “wants three children,” noting “she would love to have a boy first and then a girl.”

It looks like Pippa’s wishes have come true so far!

Arthur Michael William Matthews

Pippa and James’ little bundle of joy was born on October 15, 2018. His full name, Arthur Michael William, was inspired by their family members.

Arthur is a tribute to the 6th-century king and means “bear,” according to Nameberry.com, but Pippa’s child more importantly shares the moniker with cousin Louis, who uses it as a middle name. His middle name Michael is a nod to Pippa’s father, Michael Middleton, as well as dad James’ brother Michael Matthews, who died in 1999. William is a very popular British name, but perhaps the inspiration grew from Pippa’s brother-in-law and Arthur’s uncle, Prince William.

It’s not often for Pippa or James to be spotted out and about with Arthur, but the Celebrate author has opened up about her life as a mom. Just four months after giving birth, Pippa revealed her little man was already a natural when it comes to swimming.

“Starting my son Arthur swimming at 4 months old has given him confidence and enjoyment in the water,” she wrote in Waitrose Kitchen magazine in April 2019. “He’s now 6 months old, and swimming is one of our favorite activities. The exercise helps guarantee sound daytime sleeps, and the movement has improved his digestion.”

Aside from swimming, Pippa dished her tot also enjoys tagging along on trips to the gym. “Now that Arthur is more mobile, I have been trying to come up with different activities to do with him,” she shared in a Waitrose Weekend fitness column in September 2019. “I needed to find something more than just park walks in the pram. Our local baby gym has been a saving grace. It’s a big space full of fun, soft objects, playmats, stairs, balls, swings, mini trampolines and more to stimulate and physically engage babies and toddlers.”

It sounds like Arthur has a lot to teach his little sister!

Grace Elizabeth Jane Matthews

It’s a girl! Pippa and James welcomed their daughter, whom they named Grace Elizabeth Jane, on March 15, Hello! reported. According to the outlet, the youngster weighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces.

“Mother and baby are doing well,” a source told Hello! “She’s perfect, everyone is overjoyed at such a happy arrival.”
