PIPPA Middleton is pregnant with baby number two, according to reports from the US.
Kate Middleton’s little sister, who is already mum to two-year-old Arthur, is said to be “thrilled” with the news.
Pippa’s new arrival with husband James Matthews will be another cousin for Kate and William’s three children, Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five and Prince Louis, two.
“The entire family is delighted.”
A source close to the family told Page Six: “Pippa and James are thrilled.
“It’s fantastic news amid a difficult year.”
The couple, who wed in 2017 and live in London, are believed to be close to buying a 72-acre country estate called Bucklebury Farm Park in Berkshire.
The property is not far from the Middleton family home.
Representatives for Pippa have been contacted for comment.
The close-knit Middletons could be forced to spend their Christmas apart due to the pandemic.
Kate and Prince William admitted they are struggling over their festive plans – and are not sure how to celebrate this year.
The couple told students they were still trying to decide what to do while on the final day of their nationwide railway tour to hail communities’ Covid efforts.
William told the students: “It is so difficult, we are still trying to make plans.
“It’s difficult to know what to do for the best.”
It could mean the couple are considering being able to visit Kate’s parents, the Middletons, for the Christmas season, or if they will stay at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.
