There's a brand new baby in the orbit of the British royal family, and she arrived with
relatively little hubbub.
How did Pippa Middleton's new daughter fly under the radar?
And what does she share with her cousin George?
Keep watching for what we know.
It has been a rocky year for the United Kingdom's royal family.
In March, Prince Andrew settled out of court for the crimes he allegedly participated in
with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
And as Queen Elizabeth II has struggled with her health, things have continued to go downhill
for the royals.
Throughout the year, the monarch has been sidelined from some of her favorite events
due to struggles with her mobility.
She was absent from many of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and her royal duties have been
changed as she continues to work through her health struggles.
"Well, as you can see, I can't move."
While it seems this year has been especially rough for the royal family, there have been
positives along the way.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reunited with the family for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations,
the first time everyone had been together since the couple chose to leave the United
Kingdom in 2020.
Though the public reaction to their return to the UK was rather mixed.
But now there's some definite good news coming from the extended family: Duchess of Cambridge
Catherine Middleton, who is married to Prince William, has been a well-loved member of the
royal family since the couple tied the knot in 2011.
Though Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton, does not have a royal title herself, she has been
close with the family since Kate and William's wedding, where she served as maid of honor.
According to People, Pippa and her husband, James Matthews, just welcomed their third
child, a baby girl.
The little girl was born in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital, where the duke and
duchess also welcomed all three of their children.
The new baby, whose name has yet to be announced, will be the youngest sibling to 3-year-old
Arthur and 1-year-old Grace.
She will also have some fun cousins in Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
It's clear that Pippa Middleton has a special connection to her niece and nephews.
She has an especially great bond with Prince George, William and Kate's oldest child.
In an interview with Today from 2014, Pippa gushed about her nephew, saying:
"He's amazing.
He's a very dear boy.
And he's brought a lot of pleasure and fun for all of us, the whole family."
In that same interview, Pippa shared that she would love to have children of her own.
Now, she's a mother of three, and her latest bundle of joy will share a special connection
to George as well.
For all of you astrology fans out there, you'll be excited to learn that George and Pippa's
latest daughter share the same sign, Cancer.
Cancers are known to be loyal, imaginative, and emotional, amongst other traits.
It will be fun to see if these two Cancers share a special bond as they get older.
Pippa Middleton lives a more private life than her sister, Kate.
Pippa is often tight-lipped about her personal life, with fans unaware that she was expecting
a third child until she was seen at Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Just over a month later, Pippa has given birth to the baby.
Though her life isn't under the same microscope as her sister, Pippa works hard.
According to Hello!
Magazine, she has a Master's degree in physical education, sport and physical literacy from
University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
While she is closed off regarding many aspects of her personal life, she has opened up about
how juggling work and motherhood has played out for her.
In a statement released by the university, Pippa spoke out about her work and her love
of children, as well as how she has found balance along the way.
She was able to get her degree while raising her two children.
Pippa said,
"I have enjoyed the balance of work and motherhood and getting back into reading, writing, and
learning again."
She shared that she chose to study what she did because she is passionate about the benefits
of working out and wanted to study the effects on mothers and children.
Now, Pippa has three kids to look after and an impressive degree that she's putting to
work, all under the radar – for a royal, anyway.
