  • Pippa Middleton, 34, is pregnant with her first child, according to a report in The Sun.
  • An unnamed source told The Sun that Kate Middleton, Pippa's older sister, "could not have been more delighted" by the news. 
  • Middleton has been married to James Matthews, 42, since May 2017.


It's an exciting time for the Middleton family. 

Kate — Duchess of Cambridge and mother to Prince George and Princess Charlotte — is due to give birth to her third child any day now. And her younger sister Pippa, 34, is reportedly expecting her first child, The Sun reported on Saturday, citing an unnamed friend. 

Middleton has been married to hedge fund manager James Matthews, 42, since May 2017. 

According to The Sun, Pippa and her husband waited 12 weeks before informing their friends and family about the pregnancy. 

"When Pippa found out she was pregnant, she was obviously thrilled and utterly overjoyed," the unnamed source told The Sun. "Naturally, big sister Kate and parents, Carole and Michael, were the first people she told — James aside — and they could not have been more delighted."

Though Pippa isn't technically a member of the royal family, she became a celebrity in her own right after serving as a bridesmaid when Kate married Prince William, now the Duke of Cambridge, back in 2011. 

Her baby is reportedly due in October. 

A representative for Pippa declined to comment on the pregnancy report to People magazine.
