Pippa Middleton, the sister of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, and husband James Matthews are reportedly expecting their first child. The news comes a month before their one-year wedding anniversary.
A friend told the U.K. Sun on Sunday that Middleton told her family and close friends after a 12-week scan. Catherine, who is about to give birth to her third child in a few days, "could not have been more delighted" after hearing the news, the friend said.
"When Pippa found out she was pregnant, she was obviously thrilled and utterly overjoyed," the friend 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. It’s been a tough few weeks for the two families, so this has provided some much-needed happiness and light relief.”
The friend continued, “Pippa and James have always known they wanted children. They have made the most of their first few months of marriage and felt the time was right to expand their family.”
The baby is reportedly due in October.
The Matthews family has been mired in a scandal in recent weeks. Late last month, Matthews' father, David Matthews, was charged with child rape in France and was taken into custody on March 27.
