The wedding of sister Kate Middleton became a sensation. Kate Middleton made a splash at the wedding ceremony of her sister Pippa and James Matthews Kate Middleton at Pippa's wedding
Do not be born beautiful, but be born ... For example, the Middleton sisters were definitely born under a lucky star. The eldest, Kate, has been holding the title of Duchess of Cambridge for five years now and is raising two heirs to the British crown. The youngest, Philippa, commonly known as Pippa, is getting ready to marry a handsome, young millionaire. And it is still unknown which of the sisters was more fortunate. Secular observers believe - Pippe.

Some six years ago, Pippa Middleton was known only in a narrow circle. Private Boarding Marlborough College, University of Edinburgh, Diploma in English Literature. Outstanding success in studies or sports was not noticed.
But in one day the girl became a mega-star. April 29, 2011, on the wedding day of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Pippa became famous all over the world thanks to her good physique and perfectly fitted dress.
A socialite with no special talents or career, Middleton quickly became one of the pretty enviable brides. And Pippa maintained her image: there were rumors of an affair with one of the representatives of the old aristocratic family, with a major financier, they even talked about flirting with Prince Harry. But not only gossip and romantic adventures are alive girls from secular society. Pippa published a book on how to party properly, wrote glossy columns, and shone at various events. She was a star and at the same time only "the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge." Not that the shadow of a relative obscured the girl unpleasantly, but still. Somehow annoying.
But now the situation has changed dramatically, one might even say radically. Last weekend, Pippa received a marriage proposal from the financier, owner of a large hedge fund, James Matthews, whom she had been dating for a year. The 40-year-old groom is not only handsome (by English standards, of course), well-educated, he also owns a fortune that exceeds the GDP of some third world countries. James really feels Pippa and is not averse to pampering his beloved. Proof of this - a diamond ring worth about 250 thousand pounds. By comparison, Kate's sapphire ring, formerly owned by Princess Diana, is valued at around £110,000 and is a Windsor family heirloom, meaning it was loaned to Kate. Feel the difference?

So, Pippa is clearly much more fortunate than her older sister - the infamous Daily Mail secular columnist Jen Moire is absolutely sure of this and provides pretty good evidence of this. The most serious of them sounds like this: despite her prestigious title of duchess, Kate will almost forever remain in the position of a bird in a golden cage, until the end of her life bound hand by protocol, the schedule of the royal palace and social conventions.
Her Ladyship is forced to constantly monitor her outfits and clothes of children (God forbid, George and Charlotte will appear in expensive designer clothes, this is a scandal!), forget about Gucci, Dior and similar couture, as well as chic accessories. The worst thing for a duchess is to seem wasteful to the public. Therefore, she chooses relatively modest and inexpensive toilets, and occasionally goes to ski resorts with her family. And he constantly monitors his schedule of meetings and visits. Who said being a princess is easy and simple?
Pippa will not have such problems in principle. She doesn’t need to demonstrate or prove anything to anyone. Her life is not scheduled by the clock. Versace dress? Please. New piece of jewelry? Why not? How about a holiday in St. Barts? James' parents own one of the luxury hotels on the island. By the way, Pippa can go to the island - just sunbathe - on a private plane of her future spouse. And almost at any moment.
But most importantly, the future Mrs. Matthews will not at all suffer from excessive attention from the press and the public. As you know, privacy is the key to a long and happy family life.
“Pippa had to look for her prince for a long time, but it was worth it,” sums up Moire. - She really caught a big fish. Let's wish Pippa and James happiness, they deserve it. And the Duchess of Cambridge can be annoyed all she wants. Buckingham Palace is unlikely to pay attention to this.

On Saturday, May 20, the marriage of 33-year-old Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge Catherine, and 41-year-old millionaire financier James Matthews took place.
James proposed to Pippa last June while the couple were on holiday in the Lake District in the north of England.
By that time, their romance had lasted about a year, although they had known each other for 10 years.
Papa Michael brought the bride to the church in a limousine ...
... and sister Kate provided support - both moral and very real, especially since fixing such a wonderful dress is a pleasure. It was made by British fashion designer Giles Deacon, and even upon close examination, the impression is that it is sewn without a single seam.
The long veil was designed by British hatter Stephen Jones, and the ivory satin pumps were designed by Manolo Blahnik. On Pippa's head is a small tiara in the shape of Venusian hair.
The older sister did not play the role of bridesmaid, but chose a more responsible role for herself: to look after the young pages and the flower girl, who became the two-year-old Princess Charlotte.
Princess Charlotte receives her final instructions before taking on her first public role.
At this wedding, which journalists have already dubbed "the main social event of the year", the youngest guests - Prince George and Princess Charlotte - were entrusted with the honorary duties of a page and a flower girl. It seems that they were very pleased, at least with themselves and with each other.
The groom's brother, 27-year-old Spencer Matthews, known for playing himself in the Made in Chelsea reality show, met the approaching guests.
Princes William and Harry dressed almost identically, but chose a different color of tie. The press wrote a lot about whether Prince Harry's girlfriend, American actress Meghan Markle, would appear at this wedding, but her cameras were not captured anywhere.
Although, of course, there were many eminent guests - for example, tennis star Roger Federer and his wife Mirka.
The wedding dress code, as you can see, has undergone a free interpretation, but almost all women have decorated their heads with a hat or a fascinator.

The wedding of Prince William and April 29, 2011, and the sisters of the Duchess Catherine and James Matthews - six years after this event, on May 20, 2017. The public was looking forward to today, because everyone was wondering what dress the bride would choose, what accessories would adorn her, and in general how similar Pippa and Kate would be.
In general, we find a lot in common in the images of both brides: the silhouettes of the wedding dresses are really similar. And there is a completely logical explanation for this: Pippa was well aware that after announcing her own wedding, the public would certainly want to compare her with her sister. Therefore, the outfit at Pippa's wedding, in a sense, repeats the one that Duchess Catherine chose.
True, the girls did not agree on the price: for Kate's dress from the creative director of Alexander McQueen Sarah Burton, they paid 434 thousand dollars, and Pippa's outfit from Giles Deacon cost about 50 thousand dollars.

Kate opted for a dress with long sleeves embroidered with sheer lace at the top, and Pippa opted for a dress with cropped sleeves and a heart-shaped cutout on the back. Note that both sisters chose an outfit with a tight-fitting top and a heavily flared skirt. The top and hem of Kate's dress were embroidered with French lace, while Pippa's dress was made entirely of lace. Moreover, the patterns in the form of flowers on the dress were complemented by small pearls. The length of the train of the dress for the Duchess Catherine reached three meters, while for Pippa it was almost three times shorter.
Pippa Middleton did not use a massive tiara as an accessory, but chose a more modest version from Robinson Pelham. But Kate, as you know, put on a real family treasure - a tiara from Cartier, which is part of the personal collection of Elizabeth II. By the way, Robinson Pelham products still found their place at the Duchess's wedding - she chose the earrings of this jewelry house.

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 that 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 an important event, she chose a flowing pale 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. of the wedding dress was kept with seven seals, a variety of names of designers who were invited to work on the wedding dress were called. 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 a snow-white fluffy dress from British fashion designer Giles Deacon (Giles Deacon) with half-open shoulders, but with a neckline. 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 carried 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 of 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.
