Pippa Middleton and her husband James Matthews have welcomed their first child into the world, a baby boy.
The 35-year-old sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, gave birth to her son, weighing 8 lbs 9 oz, Monday afternoon at 1:58 p.m., according to a BBC report published Tuesday.

A Kensington Palace source shared that Middleton’s sister Kate and her husband Prince William were “thrilled” for the couple.
The news comes after reports surfaced Monday that Pippa and Matthews were spotted going into the same maternity ward, Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London, where the Duchess gave birth just a few months ago to Prince Louis.

The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge on Friday was spotted with a large baby bump when she and her husband recently showed up to the royal wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, in Windsor, Britain.
Middleton broke the news that she was expecting with a column in the Waitrose Weekend magazine in June. In the piece, she shared that she had not suffered the same severe morning sickness that her sister had experienced with all three of her pregnancies.
“I was lucky to pass the 12-week scan without suffering from morning sickness,” Middleton wrote. “That meant I was able to carry as normal and continue my sports.”
The couple tied the knot at a ceremony last May at St. Marks church in Englefield, England, that was attended by other members of the royal family.
