Sweetest Surprise Oh, Baby It's Pippa's Turn!

She may have taken her time when it came to walking up the aisle with her on-off boyfriend, but now she’s married, Pippa Middleton is not dragging her heels when it comes to starting a family.

As her sister Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (36), was preparing to give birth to her third child, it was revealed that Pippa (34) is pregnant with her first. The baby is due in October, 17 months after Pippa married multi-millionaire financier James Matthews.

“When Pippa found out she was pregnant, she was obviously overjoyed,” says a friend. “Pippa and James were always keen to have children fairly soon after getting married. They are so happy.”

Her family are also thrilled. “Her sister Kate and parents Carole and Michael were the first people she told after James, and they could not have been more pleased. Kate is delighted.”

Pippa and James (42) only told close family and friends about the baby after Pippa went for her 12-week scan. Friends say Pippa is excited about becoming a mum.
