Kate Middleton is going to be made an aunt for the fourth time — but it isn’t her sister Pippa who’s pregnant with another bundle of joy!


The princess’ brother James announced on Wednesday that he and his wife Alizée are expecting their first child. Sharing two photos on Instagram of Alizée in an olive green dress that hugs her growing bump, Kate’s younger brother wrote, “We couldn’t be more excited … well Mable might be ❤️,” he quipped in reference to one of their dogs.

The Princess of Wales became an aunt in October 2018 when Pippa welcomed her first child, a son named Arthur. Kate’s first niece, Grace, followed in March 2021, and Pippa most recently welcomed a second daughter named Rose in early summer 2022. The royal’s sister shares all three children with her husband, James Matthews.


Kate’s brother James wed Alizée in September 2021 during a picturesque ceremony in the French countryside. Their child will become the seventh Middleton grandchild in addition to Pippa’s kids and Prince William and Kate’s royal younglings, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

These relatable moments show that Kate Middleton may be a royal mom — but she’s a regular mom too.
