Pippa Middleton gave birth on Monday afternoon to her first baby, a boy, adding another grandson to the Middleton clan and a first cousin of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis of Cambridge.

The birth was confirmed Tuesday morning by the representative of Middleton in London, Jo Milloy.

"He was born on Monday, October 15 at 13:58, weighing 8 pounds and 9 ounces," said the representative at USA TODAY. "Everyone is happy and mom and baby are fine."

The younger sister of the former Kate Middleton, today the Duchess Kate of Cambridge, Pippa, 35, had her baby at St. Mary's Hospital in London (where were born the royal children), with her husband James Matthews at his side.

Matthews was spotted by paparazzi entering the Lindo Wing's maternity hospital hospital on Monday, even as Britain and the entire world were absorbing the news that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan of Sussex were expecting their first baby in the spring.

The couple was last seen in public at the wedding of Princess Eugenie of York and Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle; Pippa was very pregnant and wore a long dark green dress.

He is the first child of Pippa and the fourth grandson of his parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who also have a son, James, 31, who is not married.

For the little royals of Cambridge, including the future King Prince George, now 5 years old, the new baby is their first cousin; until now, they have four first cousins, their father's children, Prince William, first cousins, Peter Phillips and Zara Phillips Tyndall.

Royal children can also expect a new cousin soon: Uncle Prince Harry, 34, and Duchess Meghan, 37, announced Monday that they were expecting their first child in the spring .

The baby also has a cousin on his father's side: Theodore Fredrick Michael, born September 5, son of the brother of James's reality TV star, Spencer Matthews and his wife Vogue Williams.

With little Prince Louis, born in April, this makes three related babies in the families of Windsor, Middleton and Matthews, and a fourth en route.

Pippa herself revealed her condition in her monthly fitness article Waitrose Weekend magazine, in an article about exercise during pregnancy. (Pippa is as health conscious and athletic as her sister.)

But she was luckier than her sister, who suffered acute morning attacks early in her three pregnancies. Among other things, this forced Kensington Palace to announce his pregnancies earlier than usual.

"I had the chance to take the 12-week exam without suffering from morning sickness," wrote Pippa. "It meant that I was able to continue as usual and continue my sports."

In August, she was in her third trimester, according to her latest column, on the fact that swimming was her favorite workout routine while she was preparing for the birth.

"I said confidently that it was the most enjoyable and rewarding form of exercise since I discovered I was waiting," she wrote.

The Matthews live in an expensive mansion in London's Chelsea neighborhood, where Pippa recently adopted a more discreet profile than in the aftermath of her sister's royal wedding in 2011, where she made herself known as a bridesmaid with a curved back.
