Strange things about Pippa Middleton's marriage

Pippa Middleton became known to the whole world when her older sister, Kate Middleton, married Prince William.

Pippa, who graduated from the University of Edinburgh and worked in planning and public relations, tied the knot with billionaire James Matthews last summer. Pippa's fiancé-turned-husband seems to be successful in everything he does, whether it's driving a race car professionally or running a hedge fund. And as a bonus to his impressive resume, he will also inherit the Scottish title of Laird of Glen Afric, which will make Pippa Lady of Glen Afric.

Pippa and James are anything but ordinary. They are the aunt and uncle of the future king, they live in a luxurious London mansion that has an elevator and an underground cinema, and their wedding was, literally, a million dollars.

Let's find out what makes this unique couple different from others.

James has been waiting for her for ten years

They reportedly met in 2007 on St. Barths, a French Caribbean island, and friends said it was love at first sight - at least for James.

However, the couple faced difficulties from the very beginning. James is eight years older than Pippa, and at the time the age gap was more obvious as she was 22 and he was already thirty. One more problem? She had a boyfriend at the time.

James and Pippa continued to communicate via email until 2012, when they both found themselves single and began dating. This went on for several months. Then Pippa began a two-year relationship with stockbroker Nico Jackson. But apparently, she and James were meant to be together because at the end of 2020, they each ended their previous relationships and they got back together. A friend of James said: “The truth is, the only girl he really wanted was Pippa.”

Less than a year after they reunited, James proposed to her with a diamond ring worth over $300,000, and they tied the knot in May 2020.

Pippa Middleton and James: latest news

On Saturday, May 20, 2020, a solemn wedding took place in St. Mark's Church, which is located in Barkshire.

Millionaire James, 41, who is active in financial matters, married Pippa, 33, who is the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge.

This holiday was enthusiastically anticipated not only by the newlyweds, but also by members of the royal family, as well as their admirers from all over the world.

Preparations for the wedding lasted almost a whole year. Finally, the wedding took place on a sunny, clear day.

New addition to Kate Middleton's family, the news blew up the network: “There should be a girl”

Expectant parents faced difficulties trying to conceive a child

According to foreign media reports, a new addition is expected to the family of Pippa Middleton's husband's brother (Kate Middleton's sister). 31-year-old Spencer Matthews and his wife Waugh Williams are already raising their son Theodore, but decided to have another child.

The woman admitted that after her previous birth it was difficult for her to make a decision about a second child. It is noted that she has been trying to get pregnant since last summer. And since Williams was struggling with polycystic ovary syndrome, which affects childbearing, this was not easy to do.

“We are delighted. It's so exciting but a little scary that we're having another baby. There is no doubt that having a second child is a great happiness. However, this is not easy for all of us, and this time we had to go through a special path, so it is extremely pleasant to be here and talk about it,” the expectant mother admitted in an interview with “Hello!”

Williams also said that, given the difficulties she and her husband faced, they tried to hide the pregnancy for as long as possible.

It became known that the couple was expecting a girl. Williams said she had already stocked up “an obscene amount of outfits” for her daughter.

Matthews added that the family is currently choosing a name for their daughter.

“This was a wonderful opportunity to have fun discussing girl names, to be creative and a little weird,” the young father admitted. “After all, there are so many cool, exotic names in the world.” However, we will not allow nonsense. I think it's possible to choose a new and original name, but it might seem stupid. So we try to curb the urge to be creative.”

We previously reported that the network is still actively discussing the rivalry between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, despite the latter’s decision, together with her husband Prince Harry, to renounce their royal titles. Recently it became known that Middleton was recognized as the most influential royal person in the fashion world this year. Thus, she “jumped ahead” of Markle.

Let us remind you that the feud between Middleton and Markle has gained momentum: “for six months now...”.

As Politeka reported, Kate Middleton's daughter was alarmed by her scandalous antics.

Politeka also wrote that Elizabeth II broke the silence and delivered a verdict on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Pippa Middleton named her son after three special men

The baby's full name is Arthur Michael William. The child is named after three of his relatives.

Michael is the name of his grandfather and also his late uncle. The younger brother of British millionaire James Matthews died at the age of 23 during an expedition to Everest.

And the name William belongs to his uncle, Kate Middleton’s husband.

The whole of Great Britain awaited Pippa Middleton's wedding with bated breath, and information regularly appeared in the press about the star guests of the ceremony, about the designer of the festive outfit and preparations for the celebration. And so, the main event of spring took place, and the bride, as expected, amazed everyone with her laconic image. The girl said “yes” to James Matthews in front of hundreds of relatives and friends

The first pictures of Pippa's festive look appeared on social networks. The bride chose a Giles Deacon gown with a turtleneck and an elegant sweetheart cutout at the back. Due to the fact that the silk dress was almost completely embroidered with lace, it seemed that there were no seams on it at all. To look perfect on such an important day, Kate's younger sister went on a strict diet and exercised a lot. Apparently, the restrictions were not in vain, because the outfit with a small train fit the bride flawlessly.

The veil for the wedding look was created by Stephen Jonze, and the shoes decorated with pearls were made by Manolo Blahnik himself. By the way, pearls turned out to be the main “trick” of the image, because they decorated both the dress and the bride’s jewelry.

The ceremony at the church was attended by 100 people, including Kate Middleton, Prince William and their children. The British media actively discussed the fact that two-year-old Charlotte got the role of a bridesmaid. After the official part, all the guests left Berkshire, where another 200 guests would later arrive. A real glass palace was built on the territory of the residence, and it is there that the festive banquet will take place.

Journalists managed to find out that the wedding will cost Kate's younger sister and her chosen one 100 thousand pounds sterling, which is approximately 7.5 million rubles. The bride herself chose all the dishes for the festive table. So, at the banquet they will serve beluga caviar, the traditional Scottish delicacy haggis and lamb meat.

Let's remember that Pippa's engagement to millionaire James Matthews took place on July 17, 2020. Then her beloved Middleton presented her with an expensive ring with an impressive diamond. The girl spent a long time preparing for the celebration, and her every step was actively discussed in the media. In addition to the sister of the hero of the occasion and her husband, Prince Harry and his beloved Meghan Markle appeared at the ceremony. But Queen Elizabeth was not seen in St. Mark's Church.

According to rumors, the bride will appear at the party in a different dress, in which it will be more convenient for her to move and dance. By the way, a famous group is scheduled to perform at the finale of the event, but details have not yet been disclosed. Immediately after the ceremony, Pippa and her fiancé plan to fly off on their honeymoon.

A Brief Love Story of Pippa and James

The newlyweds met about 10 years ago. A whirlwind romance began relatively recently. For about a year, the couple tested their feelings, and in June 2020, James decided to propose to sister Kate Middleton.

The romantic confession took place in the north of England. The couple were holidaying in the Lake District when the millionaire started talking about getting married.

Yoga and active walks

Since the age of 8 months, Arthur Matthews has been actively practicing yoga with his mother. Although Pippa jokingly admits that the child was always trying to “run away from the mat,” they really enjoy joint activities.

Meanwhile, the socialite is practicing jogging with a stroller. When his son learned to hold his head up, Middleton is seen every now and then on the streets of London. The star often runs not only with a child in a stroller, but also with dogs on a leash.

Recently, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge announced the exact date of her wedding: Pippa Middleton will marry millionaire James Matthews on May 20 at St. Mark's Church in Berkshire.

Unlike her older sister, Pippa did not get a prince, but millionaire James Matthews can compete with representatives of the monarchical dynasty in many ways.

St. Mark's Church is significantly inferior to Westminster Abbey in grandeur, but has a charm so characteristic of medieval English buildings. In addition, from here it is easy to get to Bucklebury, the small village where Pippa, Kate and their brother James spent their childhood. It is here, at the Gregorian mansion of Carole and Michael Middleton, that friends and family of Pippa and James will gather for cocktails and a celebratory dinner. First on the guest list, of course, are members of the royal family, including the Duchess of Cambridge herself with her husband and children, as well as Prince Harry. According to rumors, Catherine will be the main bridesmaid (Pippa played this role at her own wedding), and the royal heirs: Prince George and Princess Charlotte will also take part in the ceremony.

Pippa's fiancé James Matthews, owner and executive director of the investment company Eden Rock Capital Management, is united with the royal family not only by future kinship, but also by education: like both princes, he studied at Eton College. James met Pippa in 2012, but their romance began only three years later. The lovers were united by a passion for sports: they even took part in a charity bike ride from London to Brighton together.

Matthews proposed marriage during a trip to the Lake District: the picturesque landscapes of northern England faded slightly against the background of the Art Deco ring (according to jewelers, it costs at least 200 thousand dollars). After announcing their engagement last summer, the couple began planning the ceremony, which is already being prepared to be compared to the royal wedding ceremony. We will find out on May 20 whether Sister Catherine will live up to her university nickname (friends nicknamed her Perfect Pippa for her excellent academic performance, unquestioning reputation and ability to combine study with a busy personal life) and whether her holiday will be on par with the wedding of the eldest Middleton. And in anticipation of the big day, we decided to visually compare two famous relatives, the Duchess of Cambridge and the “ideal Pippa.”

Middleton's sister's wedding outfits

Kate chose an outfit made of peach fabric so as not to outshine her sister at the holiday. English fashion designer Alexander McQueen created the midi dress Kate wore. This outfit emphasized the sophisticated figure of the Duchess. The V-neckline of the dress fell below the knee, long sleeves and a peplum waist helped create a delicate, feminine look. According to the wedding dress code, women were required to wear a hat. For Kate, it was a fascinator from Jane Taylor, made to match the dress, and earrings from Kiki McDonough.

Pippa's wedding dress exceeded all expectations. The girl dressed in an outfit created by Giles Deacon. The dress looked perfect on the bride, it seemed that it was sewn by elves, not people, since it was impossible to see a single seam. The long train of the veil, sewn by Stephen Jones, was decorated with countless crystals. On the bride’s head is a neat tiara made in the shape of Venus’s hair.

The mother of English beauties chose an elegant pink dress for the holiday.

In general, the wedding dress code, as you can see, was perceived differently by the public; the guests felt quite free in their choice. However, almost all women wore a fascinator or a hat.

How was the main social event of the year - Pippa Middleton's wedding

Kate helped her younger sister in every possible way. She did not officially become a bridesmaid, but was able to take on the role of nanny, controlling the behavior of the young flower girl Charlotte of Cambridge and her brother George of Cambridge, who had the great honor of starting the wedding ceremony.

Charlotte carried a fragrant heart of flowers in her hands, and George was to be the page.

Just recently, little Charlotte celebrated her second birthday. It was previously reported that the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton gave birth to a girl in May.
