The younger sibling of the Duchess
of Cambridge already has two children with her husband, James Matthews,
who she married in 2017. The couple has welcomed Archie, three, and
one-year-old Grace.
Speculation has surrounded a
possible pregnancy after Pippa, 38, appeared to have a baby bump during last
month’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
A source close to the
socialite has claimed that the couple, who occasionally attend royal events
alongside Pippa’s elder sister, are “thrilled” to be preparing for a third
arrival.
A friend told the Daily Mail:
“Pippa and her family are thrilled.”
They added: “It’s a fascinating time in their lives.”
A source close to the couple
added that they are “looking forward to living closer to her [Pippa’s]
parents”.
This comes after reports
claimed they purchased a £15 million home in Berkshire, close to Michael and
Carole Middleton’s residence in Bucklebury.
Pippa and James, an investment
banker, currently live in a £17 million Chelsea home, according to HELLO!
magazine. This comes as Kate and William gear up to relocate to greener
pastures, leaving behind their home at Kensington Palace.
