Pippa Middleton's New Baby Has a Flower-Inspired Name
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Pippa Middleton and husband James Matthews welcomed their third child last month, a baby girl. Now, People is reporting their newborn daughter is named Rose.
Baby Rose joins older siblings Arthur Michael William Matthews, 3, and Grace Elizabeth Jane Matthews, 16 months. Rose's middle names have not been publicly revealed.
The classic name for their third child derives from the Latin "rosa," and is a consistently popular baby name for girls. Roses, too, are the birth flower of June—when Pippa's youngest was born. Per Birds & Blooms, "the rose is generally known to represent love, beauty and devotion."
Rose Matthews isn't the only niece of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with a floral name; Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter, Lilibet, is named after both her grandmother Queen Elizabeth and goes by Lili (which is pronounced like the flower).
Rose is Carole and Michael Middleton's sixth grandchild, and a new cousin for Kate Middleton's children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Pippa first publicly debuted her baby bump at the Party at the Palace concert during Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, just weeks before she gave birth.
In early July, Pippa obtained her master's degree from the Physical Education, Sport and Physical Literacy program at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, and the new mom-of-three will present her research this fall in Luxembourg.
Pippa and James are reportedly planning to relocate from London to a village near Bucklebury, in Berkshire—close to where Pippa and Kate grew up, and where the Middletons still live. Her sister, Kate, is planning a move of her own; the Cambridges are reportedly moving from London to Windsor before the start of the school year.
