Although Pippa's arrival at the maternity ward was not photographed, the Daily Mail published images of her husband carrying two big bags to Lindo's wing on the morning of October 16, before it was known that her sister had successfully delivered her first child.
In the same elite wing, her sister Duchess Kate welcomed her fifth heir to the British throne, Prince Louis, in April 2018, and two children before him in Lindo. In 2011, Prince George was born there, and already in 2013, a two-year-old boy, along with his dad, met his newborn sister, Princess Charlotte, there.
The Lindo Wing is known for the range of exclusive services the staff provide to their new mothers, such as afternoon tea, postnatal massages and champagne. On its famous porch, the Dukes of Cambridge greeted a crowd of royal fans after the birth of each of their three children.
35-year-old younger sister Kate Middleton announced her pregnancy in June 2018. The statement was published in her Waitrose Weekly fitness column, in which the mother-to-be described the changes that were happening to her body.
“I noticed that my body began to change, and the weight began to increase, but thanks to effective exercises and sports, I feel that they have a beneficial effect on the course healthy pregnancy, and will affect childbirth and recovery, ”said one of the columns.
Throughout her pregnancy, Pippa Middleton regularly posted her essays on taking care of her figure during pregnancy, and she was even criticized for some of her statements. So, in September 2018, columnist Babara Ellen criticized the approach of the younger Middleton to nutrition during pregnancy: in her opinion, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge was too obsessed with losing weight and in vain convinced readers of the need to get into their old jeans after giving birth.
Nine months pregnant, Pippa Middleton appeared at the wedding of Princess Eugenie's granddaughter on Friday, October 12th. The future mother in an emerald green dress and hat was joyfully greeted by the guests of the ceremony.
35-year-old Pippa Middleton and her husband, an entrepreneur, became one of the most popular couples in the UK last year after they got married on May 20, 2017 at St. Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire.
Pippa Middleton caught the public's attention in 2011 when she was a bridesmaid at her wedding. older sister Kate Middleton. Thanks to a successful dress that emphasized her magnificent figure, the press proclaimed Pippa Middleton a style icon.
With her husband, entrepreneur, financier and multimillionaire James Matthews, Pippa Middleton a short time met back in 2012, but then the relationship did not work out. However, in 2015, after breaking up with a stockbroker named Nico Jackson, Pippa Middleton turned her attention back to Matthews.
James Matthews proposed to Pippa Middleton in 2016 with a diamond engagement ring worth around £200,000.
Even before the wedding, Pippa Middleton moved into the James Matthews mansion in west London, Chelsea - in a house worth £ 17 million, which had its own gym, underground cinema, elevator, servants' quarters and six bedrooms. However, after it became known about the pregnancy of the younger Middleton, the house underwent a renovation that stretched for several months. The couple returned to the renovated mansion in west London at the end of the summer of 2018, after spending a vacation in Tuscany. The refurbishment cost around £1.2m, extending the ground floor, adding two additional walk-in closets and, of course, a children's room.
Pippa Middleton became world famous 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 and now her husband seems to be successful in everything he touches, whether it's professional racing car driving or managing 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 mundane. 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, in the truest sense of the word, a million dollars.
Let's find out what makes this unique couple different from others.
James waited ten years for her
They reportedly met in 2007 in St. Barts, a French Caribbean island, and friends said it was love at first sight - at least for James.
However, the couple faced difficulties from the start. James is eight years older than Pippa and at the time the age gap was more obvious as she was 22 and he was in his thirties. 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 started dating. This went on for several months. Pippa then began a two-year relationship with stockbroker Nico Jackson. But apparently, she and James were supposed to be together, because at the end of 2015 they each ended their previous relationship and they got back together. A friend of James said, "In truth, 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 2017.
Pippa's mother reportedly 'inspired' their engagement
It's not often these days that a mother is the "mastermind" behind her child's engagement.
According to The Telegraph, Pippa's mother, Carol Middleton, told Matthews years before the engagement that she really hoped their relationship would get serious. The source said: “This is what she has been hoping for for some time. She seems to be something of a mastermind behind this engagement."
James reportedly met with Carol before asking for her daughter's hand in marriage. The Telegraph reported that after the proposal, Carol was "delighted."
And although some suggested that the wedding could take place at the James family estate in Scotland, Carol insisted that they get married at the Middleton family estate.
Their wedding cost over $1 million.
Weddings in England are not cheap (according to a 2017 survey, the average price was £27,161, or $36,803) James and Pippa spent over $1 million.
$92,000 for champagne and wine, $20,000 for flowers, $26,000 for vintage car rentals, and a flotilla of Range Rovers to transport the wedding and guests. Pippa's dress was valued at a whopping $52,000.
They gave a reception in a glass "palace" from Belgium and reportedly spent $6,500 on a vintage British aircraft that performed aerobatics over the reception.
Well, when an engagement ring costs over $300,000, it makes sense that the wedding would be three times as expensive...maybe?
They went to the "glass palace" for their wedding reception
Apparently, when you marry a billionaire, your sister is a duchess, and your nephew is the future king, even the best restaurant is unlikely to suit you.
According to the Daily Mail, Pippa and James decided to celebrate in a glass "palace" from another country. The "Palace" was delivered in parts from Belgium and was built within a few days at the Middleton estate. The cost of rent and construction was reportedly a whopping $130,000.
However, everything was not quite perfect. Do you know what's wrong with the glass palace? Lack of toilets. The guests reportedly used the portable bathrooms, which were placed in a tent near the glass building.
The future king was the page at their wedding
Not many can boast that the future king of England served at their wedding! Pippa's nephew Prince George, who is third in line to the throne, and his sister, Princess Charlotte, worked as servants at the wedding. George carried a basket of flowers down the aisle while Charlotte was a bridesmaid.
But children are children, and according to the Daily Mail, George and Charlotte were allegedly scolded by their mother for bad behavior after the ceremony. They reportedly stepped on the train of Aunt Pippa's dress near the church. George was even photographed crying after the incident.
In addition to the royal babies, both Princes William and Harry attended the wedding.
Their house has a gym, an underground cinema and an elevator.
Real estate in London is not cheap, but not for Pippa and James! According to the Daily Mail, the couple lives in a five-story, $22 million mansion located on an exclusive street in London.
Their home with amenities most people can only dream of - a gym, an underground cinema, an elevator, and a whopping six bedrooms. And if that wasn't enough, the couple started renovating the house in 2017 to add even more space!
Will they ever be 'Laird and Lady'
Pippa Middleton's sister, Kate became a duchess after her marriage to Prince William, but she's not the only one in the family to hold the title. James' father, billionaire David Matthews, holds the Scottish title of Laird of Glen Afrique, and James will inherit that title. Pippa will become Lady Glen Afric.
The Matthews family title was purchased and paid for when David purchased the 10,000 acre estate of Glen Afrik in 2008.
David owns a Victorian mansion that he rents out seasonally and according to some reports, many celebrities have stayed there, including football player David Beckham. Luxurious rooms, located just 15 miles from Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, are very expensive. It is reported that a three-day stay for eight people will cost about $13,000.
His father was arrested for alleged rape
Nearly a year after their fairy tale wedding, Pippa and James are facing serious family crisis. According to the Telegraph, James' father, David, was taken into custody in France in March 2018 and was due to be questioned about the alleged rape of a minor in the 1990s. He was reportedly detained after arriving at Orly airport near Paris, but was later released. These events were alleged to have taken place between 1998 and 1999 and were brought to the attention of the authorities in 2017.
David's spokesman told the Telegraph that he denied all the allegations and called them "scandalous" and "untrue."
Neither Pippa nor James have given an official comment on the case.
They do extreme sports together
Even before they officially became a couple, Pippa and James participated in sporting events together.
The couple, along with Pippa's brother, James Middleton, took part in a series of extreme activities to raise money for the Michael Matthews Foundation, which was set up to honor younger brother James. Michael died at the age of 22 in 1999 while hiking Everest.
In 2014, Pippa and James raced their bikes from Southern California to Maryland. In September 2015, shortly before they officially announced their engagement, the couple competed in a 47-mile swim race in Sweden. Pippa reportedly said of the debilitating event, “It was one of the hardest things I've ever done! The hardest part is the long swim with cold water and big waves.”

According to the Daily Mail, the women were constantly discussing what the bride's dress would be like.
The guests gathered at St. Mark's Church in Englefield, Berkshire - this is where the couple's wedding will take place. So, in the lists of invitees one could see numerous relatives of both families, including Prince Harry and his girlfriend Meghan Markle. There were not as many celebrity guests as at the wedding of the older sister (but it was a royal wedding!), Tennis player Roger Federer and British news anchor Tom Bradby were spotted.
Everyone was looking forward to the main star of the holiday - the bride. A few days before the wedding, the future Wedding Dress girls very actively discussed in the network. Pippa considered several options, and the final choice was known only to her relatives and friends. But no one doubted that Pippa would look luxurious. And the bride did not disappoint! Pippa arrived at the gates of the church in an old Jaguar, her father Michael accompanied the girl. When Pippa got out of the car, the guests literally gasped. Exquisite dress embroidered with lace emphasized slim figure girls, a delicate veil covered Pippa's embarrassed but happy face. The image was complemented by an elegant tiara.
Hand in hand with her father, Pippa hid behind the doors of the church, where her newly fiancé James was waiting for her. The Duchess of Cambridge, by the way, proved to be a caring sister. She constantly adjusted the hem of Pippa's wedding dress and watched over the children - George and Charlotte. The little prince and princess carried an important mission - they had to play the role of pages who scatter flowers in front of the bride's passage. Kate was very worried about the behavior of the kids, so before entering the church she asked the children to be quiet and even shushed them! However, this did not affect the mood of the children. From the expression on their faces, it was clear that the children were extremely happy. Yes, and the face of Kate's mother literally shone with joy - finally, Pippa found real happiness!

A few minutes later, Pippa and James walked out of the church hand in hand as husband and wife! The young did not hide their happiness, and especially the groom. After all, James, despite more than a decent income, for a long time was, so to speak, in the friend zone. Pippa considered only a friend and did not consider her as a life partner. The future newlyweds met in 2011. And if Pippa conquered James almost at first sight, then the girl's heart did not flinch. Soon Pippa's heart melted, and the girl even went on a date with James several times. The media immediately started talking about James as the new chosen one of Middleton. Apparently, this scared Pippa, who decided to put all the points and sent the perplexed James to resign.
Shortly after parting with another gentleman, James reappeared on the horizon. He seemed to be waiting for the very moment when Pippa would finally settle down and think about family happiness. Timid dates turned into joint holidays- the couple was often seen at resorts and hotels, and after Pippa completely moved to her beloved. James was truly happy and in 2016 made Pippa an official proposal.
Let Pippa's wedding was not as luxurious and fabulous as her sister's, but many were conquered by a certain homely and cozy atmosphere without too much chic and a hint of pathos.
The main festivities and celebrations will take place at the estate of the Middleton parents.
Especially for the celebration, the parents ordered a glass structure in the form of a tent, which cost them 100 thousand pounds. It has tables for table tennis, and guests will be treated to exceptionally delicious dishes: haggis, beluga caviar, roast lamb, a traditional Scottish dish of lamb offal. There are metal barriers and guards around the perimeter of the estate. Bodyguards and servants cannot use mobile phones, and talk exclusively on the radio.

Bitterly! Today, May 20, 33-year-old Pippa Middleton says goodbye to girlhood: her younger sister marries her 41-year-old financier and hedge fund manager James Matthews ..
Britain was preparing for Pippa Middleton no less than for the wedding of her older sister Kate Middleton, because when Duchess Catherine married Prince William, Pippa automatically became a member of the royal family. It is not surprising that the media began to collect information about the upcoming ceremony for many months before the X hour, but on the eve of an important day in Englefield, in Barkshire, which became the scene of the celebration, hordes of journalists were occupied.
The wedding itself was decided to be held in the church of St. Mark of the XII century, where guests began to arrive in the morning. Prince Harry and Prince William were among the first to arrive. They walked to the church where the ceremony was to take place together. It also managed to capture the children of Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Soon the kids were seen with their mother Duchess Katherine, who was the most important guest this day for her sister Pippa. Princess Beatrice, Swiss tennis player Roger Federer and his wife Miroslava, British star Donna Air also arrived in time for the ceremony.

Photographers managed to take several pictures with Kate Middleton and the little guests of the ceremony. The duchess led the children to the church and did not hide her smile. For such important event she chose a flowing soft pink outfit just below the knee. The Duchess picked up shoes and a hat to match the dress.
But, of course, everyone was waiting for the appearance of the main character of the day - the bride, because rumors about her for half a year did not give gossips rest. wedding dress was kept behind seven seals, the most different names designers who were invited to work on the wedding dress. One of the main "suspects" was British designer Giles Deacon, who was caught outside Pippa's house with bags last November.
As a result, Pippa chose snow-white fluffy dress from British fashion designer Giles Deacon with half-shoulders, but with a cutout under the throat. A feature of the outfit was a two-meter hem. The bride's face was covered by a one and a half meter translucent veil. The look was completed by large earrings, a tiara that supported Pippa's hair, and a small bridal bouquet. According to tradition, the girl was led to the altar by her father, Michael Francis Middleton.
As soon as Pippa entered the church with her dad, Kate Middleton hurried to her to tidy up her wedding dress and straighten the long hem of her dress.

A lot of attention was riveted to Prince George and Princess Charlotte: Pippa's nephew carried wedding rings to the altar, and little Charlotte - flowers. Shortly before the wedding, Katherine admitted that she was worried about how the children would behave at the wedding: no matter what they did. The fears were in vain: charming kids in festive dresses evoked only smiles of tenderness on the faces of those present. And the way Pippa and James looked together did not need to be commented on. Joint photos the bride and groom speak for themselves.

Shortly after the bride and groom exchanged vows, the guests went to celebrate at the house of Pippa's parents, located nearby. There, specially for the wedding, a glass tent was built, where the assembled tables were already waiting for the guests.
By royal standards, the wedding turned out to be modest: only 150 guests came to congratulate the newlyweds, as the bride and groom wanted to avoid unnecessary hype. That is why Pippa and James abandoned the traditional "bridesmaids" and "friends of the groom": only married or already engaged couples were invited to the wedding - even Matthews' younger brother, Spencer, was not allowed to take his girlfriend with him!
By the way, Megan Markle, who was so expected at the ceremony, still did not appear at Pippa's wedding. For quite a long time, the Western media claimed that Prince Harry was going to introduce the actress officially at the wedding of Middleton and Matthews. However, the girl was not seen among the guests.

On Saturday, the wedding of Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge Catherine, and millionaire James Matthews took place.
This wedding was talked about in Britain for several months: since it became known that the couple was engaged. However, the place and time of the ceremony were kept in the strictest confidence until the last moment, and only a few of Pippa's closest people knew at all which designer would sew the bride's wedding dress.

The ceremony took place at St Mark's Church in Englefield, in the Berkshire county west of London, the parish church of the Middleton family. The church, part of which dates back to the 12th century, is a local landmark and is located just 9 kilometers from the village of Bucklebury, where the children of the Middleton family spent their childhood. On the day of the wedding, the territory of the church itself, as well as adjacent to it, was blocked for the passage of all who did not have an invitation. The organizers put signs along the road with a request not to disturb the guests of the closed event. However, this did not stop the paparazzi and onlookers who gathered nearby in order to at least from afar look at the "wedding of the year", as British journalists dubbed it.
Katherine with children
Among the guests were friends and relatives of the newlyweds, including tennis player Roger Federer, the groom's brother and part-time star of the reality show "Made in Chelsea" Spencer Matthews and, of course, Princes William and Harry. Until recently, it remained an intrigue whether Harry would appear at the wedding alone or accompanied by his girlfriend, American actress Meghan Markle. This could be their first official release. Despite insider reports that Meghan was at the unofficial part of the ceremony, there is no confirmation of this either. The media vied with each other to report that the wedding of Harry and Megan themselves is just around the corner and allegedly the actress even took a break in her career to be able to prepare for the event, but at the moment you can only be sure that romantic relationship between Harry and Meghan. This information (and only) in October 2016 was confirmed by the press service of Kensington Palace, and it is premature to talk about the wedding. 
While Harry, William, younger brother Catherine and Pippa James and other guests enjoyed the conversation, the Duchess of Cambridge carried out a responsible mission: she gave parting words to the children who played the role of flower pages, and looked after them. Shortly before the wedding, Katherine admitted that she was worried about the behavior of her kids, and, as it turned out, for good reason. Touching photos, in which Katherine strictly explains something to her son and daughter, have already spread around the world.

The ceremony itself was traditional and very beautiful: the bride in a long lace dress drove up to the church accompanied by her father. Near the altar, a little behind Pippa, stood Katherine, who carefully straightened her veil and dress. After Pippa and James said the cherished "Yes" in the presence of the guests and the priest and accepted congratulations, everyone moved to the Middleton family. Near their house, a glass tent was built specifically for the celebration, in which guests were seated at the tables. In total, about 150 guests attended the celebration, which is quite small, given the popularity of the newlyweds.
