‘The universe sent us an angel’: Lizzie Cundy reveals happiness amid the heartbreak of her brother’s death as her niece gives birth to a baby girl

by

Lizzie Cundy has shared the joyous news that her niece has given birth to a baby girl.

The 57-year-old mother of two shared the happy news on social media this Thursday, not long after the sad loss of her brother, Peter.

In a heartwarming photo, the celebrity lovingly held her new baby, followed by a tender image of her gently holding the baby’s hand.

Despite the heartbreak of losing her brother, Lizzie shared that something wonderful happened the same week – they welcomed a new baby, whom she called an ‘angel’.

I’m absolutely over the moon! My niece recently welcomed a sweet little girl named Minnie, and she’s just precious. It’s been a particularly emotional time for our family, so having Minnie arrive feels like such a wonderful blessing. I’m thrilled to be a great-aunt and shower her with love!

I’m so grateful for all the kind messages we’ve received since my brother passed away. Your support has meant so much to our family.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to @cavpaul and @claire.sweeney for their incredible support and going above and beyond. I’m truly touched by everyone’s kindness, love, and help, and I’ll always remember it.

Earlier this month, Lizzie publicly shared the sad news of her brother Peter’s passing.

Lizzie shared the news of her brother’s passing on Instagram, posting a childhood photo of him in black and white.

Lizzie wrote a heartfelt message about her brother, saying her family is devastated by his loss.

I’m writing to share the sad news that my brother, Peter, has passed away. Our family is deeply heartbroken.

Peter was a deeply cherished son, brother, and uncle. He dedicated his career to the performing arts, working in both theatre and film, and he had two great passions in life: dogs and Chelsea Football Club.

Pete was a truly wonderful person, known for his kindness, and he will be deeply missed. It’s hard to believe he’s no longer with us. Rest peacefully, Pete.

This sad news follows closely after Lizzie celebrated her mother, Gloria Miller’s, birthday. Gloria is a friend of Queen Camilla and lives in the luxurious Sandringham estate in Norfolk.

Lizzie shared a picture of her youthful looking mum as she turned 91 on Tuesday. 

She wrote: ‘Happy birthday to the strongest woman I know. My dear mother, Gloria.’ 

Gloria is very social, and Lizzie recently shared with the Daily Mail that her mother is much like herself and enjoys a daily drink.

Her mother is also active on the dating scene following the sad death of Lizzie’s father, Derek.

Lizzie remembers her childhood home being a hub for fascinating people, including the renowned photographer David Bailey. She fondly recalls even going shopping with her favorite actress, Sharon Stone, describing her as ‘very nice’.

Her mother worked as a senior manager at the fashion brand Jaeger and had also been a model. She was married to Derek Miller, an art director for the Saatchi advertising agency.

Derek frequently included Lizzie in his advertisements, which quickly brought her some early recognition.

Lizzie grew up in a very strict Catholic environment, raised by nuns. She described her father as a stern disciplinarian.

So much so, that Lizzie was forced to lie when she was growing up in order to have a boyfriend. 

Lizzie revealed in a previous interview on This Morning that her father wasn’t keen on her having a boyfriend, especially one who would stay over.

‘I remember growing up as a teenager having to be very very sneaky. Having to lie all the time.

I had a boyfriend over once, and my dad overheard something. I quickly hid him in the linen closet until my dad left for work.

Let me tell you, navigating relationships can be… complicated! I once had a boyfriend, and things got really awkward when my dad came home unexpectedly. Let’s just say there was a hasty exit involving a bathroom window – definitely a story I’ll never forget! It was a chaotic moment, and a reminder that life doesn’t always go as planned.

Lizzie was married to Chelsea star Jason Cundy from 1994 to 2012.
