James Middleton confirms the birth and reveals the name of his first child, the new nephew of the Princes of Wales

The Middleton family is in luck. James Middleton, Kate's brother, has shared the first images of his newborn son. The Princess of Wales's younger brother and his wife, Alizee Thevenet, welcomed her first child earlier this October. In fact, it was the press who discovered them taking a walk with their first-born through the beautiful neighborhood of Notting Hill, located in London. Now the couple has revealed the baby's name.

In the image shared by Middleton, the couple announces the arrival of the little one into the world and reveals his name, Iñigo.
