Kate Middleton’s favourite designer Jade Holland Cooper has shared the first snaps of her newborn son, after giving birth earlier this week.
The owner of fashion and lifestyle brand Holland Cooper and millionaire husband Julian Dunkerton, 55, boss of clothing brand Superdry, welcomed their second-born Jamie yesterday.
Announcing the news on Instagram, she shared a number of photographs as she snuggled up with the baby, writing: ‘Welcome to the world our beautiful baby boy Jamie Dunkerton.’
She continued: ‘What joy you are already bringing us. You are the best Christmas gift we could ever have hoped for.’

She shared a gallery of images on social media, including a photograph of her husband kissing her head while she cradled the newborn.
And the mother-of-two went on to share another family snap, which showed Julian topless lying in bed alongside the baby.
Jade married Julian, who is worth an estimated £441million, in a lavish ceremony in the Cotswolds in August 2018. She was serenaded at the ceremony by Idris Elba and Craig David.
Jade gave birth to her daughter in London last year. Revealing the news to her 60,000 followers on Instagram, Jade wrote: ‘Welcome to the world my darling, Saphaïa Isabella Dunkerton, Weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces.’

Posting on Instagram, the mother, who had her first child in 2020, called Jamie the ‘best Christmas gift they could have ever hoped for’
Posting black-and-white images of her daughter online, Jade commented: ‘I can’t describe the overwhelming feeling of joy and love. And so the next chapter of life begins.’
The multi-millionaire couple relocated to London weeks before the birth, so that she could be close to Jade’s private hospital.
The designer set up her eponymous brand Holland Cooper 10 years ago, which specialises in sexy tailored tweed jackets, £599 leather trousers and luxurious fur-trimmed capes.
She started selling her designs at a stall at the Cheltenham Festival, in echoes of her husband who co-founded Superdry in 1985 from a market stall in Cheltenham.

She has since won a host of high profile fans, including the Princess of Wales, who just last week stepped out in a tartan coat from the brand.
When Kate wore a £179 Fairisle knit sweater to present a CBeebies bedtime story earlier this year, it sold out.
Kate also wore the Knightsbridge Coat to the Six Nations in February this year, a white shirt on a Zoom call with nurses in January 2021, and a tartan coat and a black twill blazer on her tour of Scotland last year. Zara Tindall, Amanda Holden and Kirsty Gallacher are also fans.
She’s proud that most of Holland Cooper’s merchandise is made in Britain and is particularly keen to talk about her new Jubilee range of elegant tweed trenches similar to the £849 purple and green tartan Marlborough coat Kate wore on her Scottish tour with William

Speaking about her husband earlier this year, she said she had ‘never met anyone as inspiring.’
‘He’s an amazing human being,’ she told The Times. ‘I need to be with someone who doesn’t say, “Have you earned enough money now?”. I just can’t think like that.’
Fashion tycoon Dunkerton sold just under £50 million of shares in Superdry to fund a divorce settlement to his first wife, Charlotte Abbot, with whom he has a teenager daughter and step-daughter.
Last year the entrepreneur led a revolt to oust the board of Superdry in which he owns a £17.4 million stake.
