A new baby has arrived in Kate Middleton’s life! The Duchess of Cambridge is celebrating the news that she will be holding a new baby girl in her hands. Not hers, though.

Middleton’s close friend Sophie Snuggs, who is also Princess Charlotte’s godmother, has given birth to a baby girl on June 21, The Times has report, as per Hello Magazine.

Snuggs, née Carter has named her baby Amalia Rose Charlotte, assumed to be a tribute to her royal goddaughter Charlotte.

Amalia Rose came just a few weeks before rumors fired up that Middleton is pregnant with her and Prince William's fourth child and months after the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle gave birth to Middleton’s nephew, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, in May.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended Sophie and husband Robert Snugg’s wedding as pageboy and bridesmaid on Sept. 23 last year at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Prince Willian and Middleton’s family also graced the event.

Twitter user Michael Rodes thinks that Snuggs could make Middleton one of Amalia’s godparents.

Middleton and Carter have reportedly been friends for years and had been seen together in various parties and occasions. She has also known the Duchess’ family for years with Carole, Michael and James Middleton all in attendance at her wedding.

Carter also attended Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding ceremony at Windsor Castle and Pippa Middleton’s wedding.

Her brother, Robert, married one of Middleton’s friends from Malborough College in Wiltshire, Hannah Carter (née Gillingham) in 2012. Gillingham is also one of Prince Louis’ godparents from his christening in 2018.

Carter graced Princess Charlotte’s christening in 2015 as one of the godparents. She used to date the Duke of Cambrigde’s best friend, businessman Thomas van Straubenzee, who is also Princess Charlotte’s godfather.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge ignited speculation as playing matchmakers when they invited the two exes in a luxury ski trip with a group of friends in 2016.

Carter had grown up in Norfolk, not far from Amner Hall where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen to reside when Prince Charlotte was born in 2015 to live a quieter, country life much father from the public eye.

Middleton and Prince William have many close friends in the area, especially the sons and daughter of rich landowners and farmers. Their close friend’s children are usually the royal kids’ playmates and Amalia Rose now joins the group.
