The Duchess of Cambridge has a very close relationship with sister Pippa Middleton. Though the two aren’t photographed together regularly in public, the lookalike siblings once lived together and are thought to have a very close friendship. In fact, the pair are so close that Pippa named her firstborn son Arthur Michael William Matthews. Many people believe that James Matthews and Pippa’s son is named after her brother-in-law and Kate’s husband, Prince William. This year, the sisters were seen chatting at Wimbledon along with Kate’s sister-in-law Meghan Markle and are thought to have regular playdates with their children.
