Holly gave birth to the twins on December 20, the wedding anniversary she shares with her dad and mum Joan.
"Freddie and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our beautiful twins. One boy, one girl and they are absolutely perfect (but who wouldn't say that about their kids!)," Holly, 32, said.
While proud grandfather Sir Richard wrote: "Obviously, as you can see from the photos, they are the most beautiful babes ever to be born in the whole wide world."
Holly married investment manager Freddie in 2011 and they announced they were expecting twins in August.
