Rose, when confirmed to have been born, will be the sixth grandchild for hers and Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton.
Pippa and hedge fund manager James, 46, already share two children together.
Their first child, a son named Arthur, was born in October 2018.
First daughter Grace, meanwhile, was born in March 2021.
Why is the name Rose a ‘nod to royalty’?
The Express website ponders why Pippa and James – who married in May 2017 – may have selected the name Rose for the little one.
The publication claims: “Rose has been the name of some royals across the centuries, including Mary Tudor, known as ‘Mary Rose’, Queen of France.”
