Pippa, 37, and James, 45, welcomed their first child in Oct. 2018. Pippa followed in the footsteps of her royal sister by giving birth in the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital — the same place where Kate and Prince William welcomed all three of their children.

Their baby girl is the fifth grandchild for Carole and Michael Middleton and a little cousin for Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2.

Carole, who was recognized by Kate and Prince William while celebrating Mother's Day in the U.K. over the weekend, recently described herself as an active influence in her grandchildren's lives, something she hopes will continue.

"I want to run down the hills, climb the trees and go through the tunnel at the playground," she says. "I cook with them, I muck around dancing, we go on bike rides."

Discussing life after lockdown and her hopes for the year ahead, the grandmother said: "I also hope to see more of my family than I could last year, including, of course, my new grandchild."
