Carole Middleton confirms that her daughter Pippa is pregnant with a second child

• Carole Middleton confirmed her daughter Pippa's pregnancy in a recent interview with Good Housekeeping.
• The news of the pregnancy spread in December 2020 but was unconfirmed until Wednesday.
• In the interview, Carole also describes taking a "hands-on" approach to grandparenting.

The Middleton family is adding one more to the bunch.

Last December, Page Six reported that Pippa Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister, is expecting her second child with her husband, James Matthews.

On Wednesday, Carole Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge's mother, confirmed the news in an interview with Good Housekeeping, according to US Magazine.

"I hope to see more of my family than I could last year, including, of course, my new grandchild," Carole told Good Housekeeping.

In December, a source told Page Six that "Pippa and James are thrilled, it's fantastic news amid a difficult year," Insider previously reported.

The couple, who married in 2017, currently has one son, Arthur, who turned 2 years old in October.

Pippa announced her first pregnancy in her fitness column in Waitrose Weekend, but she has not confirmed the second pregnancy.

Representatives for Middleton did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Carole describes her 'hands-on' approach with her four grandchildren

In addition to Pippa's children, Carole is also the grandmother to the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's and Prince William's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

She owns a successful party supplies company with her husband, Michael Middleton, called Party Pieces, so it's no surprise the grandmother knows how to have fun.

In the Good Housekeeping interview, Carole says she takes a "hands-on" approach when it comes to her grandparenting style.

"I want to run down the hills, climb the trees, and go through the tunnel at the playground," she told Good Housekeeping. "As long as I am able to, that's what I'll be doing. I cook with them, I muck around dancing, we go on bike rides."
