Arthur Michael William Matthews is the Only Son and the First of Pippa’s Children
Arthur was born on October 15, 2018, a year after Pippa and James got married. The 3 names of 6-year-old are tributes to some members of his family.
His name Arthur is also the middle name of his older cousin and son of Kate Middleton, Louis Arthur Charles. Also, his first middle name “Michael” is a tribute to Pippa’s businessman father, Michael Middleton. The name is also after James’ younger brother who died in 1999 while climbing Mount Everest – the highest mountain in the world.
Arthur is the 4th grandchild of Michael Middleton and British businesswoman Carole Goldsmith. He is also the first nephew of Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.

Grace was born in St. Mary’s Hospital’s Lindo Wing. This same hospital saw the birth of the children of Prince William, the Duke of Cornwall, and Cambridge.
Like her older brother, Arthur, Grace’s middle names are after some family members. Her first middle name is after her maternal grandmother “Carole Elizabeth Middleton”. It could also be a subtle acknowledgment of her family‘s ties with the royal family.
Her other name Jane is after her paternal grandmother, Jane Matthews.
Rose Matthews was Born a Few Months Before the Death of Queen Elizabeth II, and is the Last of Pippa Middleton’s Children
Rose Matthews was born in July 2022, about 2 months before the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022.
The youngest child of Pippa was born at the same hospital, St. Mary’s Hospital, as her siblings and cousins.
The tradition of sharing names in Rose’s family has been extended to her. However, instead of adopting a family member’s name, her first name “Rose” is related to flowers and may be a nod to the family’s link to the royal family.
The name resembles a flower’s adaptation to the name of Meghan Markle’s daughter, Lilibet which is also the childhood nickname of Queen Elizabeth II.
