The Duchess of Cambridge's sister Pippa Middleton has welcomed her first child into the world with her husband James Matthews, a healthy baby boy! According to reports, Pippa and James welcomed their newborn son at the Lindo Wing at 1.58pm on Monday 15th October, with him weighing 8lbs 9oz.

The lovely news comes just days after Pippa and James attended the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank on Friday 12 October, where Pippa showed off her bump in a stunning green dress.

No further details about the couple's first child have been revealed, including what name Pippa and James have decided on, but Kensington Palace said in a short statement, "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thrilled for Pippa and James."

Pippa, who is now 35-years-old, married hedge fund manager James Matthews in family ceremony last year, with James' brother, Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, also in attendance.

Meanwhile, the lovely news comes just one day after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were expecting their first child, with Meghan showing off her tiny baby bump during their tour of Australia today.
