Pippa Middleton's intention to marry boyfriend James Matthews, as British media write, upset Elizabeth no less than the rumors about an affair between sister Kate and Prince Harry that circulated in December.

James Matthews is not a public person and prefers to hide his personal life from prying eyes, which cannot be said about him brother Spencer: he is a famous British party animal and star of the reality show “Made in Chelsea,” which tells about the life of the capital’s golden youth. The reputation of Spencer Matthews, a conqueror of women's hearts and a drug addict, seriously worries Elizabeth.

“Spencer crawled all over London, leaving a loud legacy everywhere, including with his novels. Pippa knows a lot of royal secrets, and now Buckingham Palace is literally praying that James doesn’t pass them on to his brother,” says the source. According to him, Kate Middleton is also concerned, not at all interested in her sister’s long tongue spoiling her personal relationship with the family of her husband, Prince William.

With just one fact of her wedding, Pippa Middleton can start a fashion revolution, not only in the UK, but throughout the world.

It didn’t take long to look for the origins of her inspiration - experts believe that Pippa copied the severity and elegance of her outfit from her sister Kate. However, according to her rank, she was entitled to a somewhat more magnificent outfit, which, when creating wedding look, without any doubt, was taken into account.

The newlyweds met more than 10 years ago. Matthews proposed last summer, by which time the couple had been dating for about a year.

Pippa was a witness at her older sister's wedding, and at today's celebration, the children of the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William played the roles of page and flower girl.

The bride arrived at the church in a limousine with her father. On it - white dress by British fashion designer Giles Deacon.

Don't 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 british crown. The youngest, Philippa, commonly known as Pippa, is preparing to marry a handsome, young millionaire. And it is still unknown which of the sisters was luckier. Secular observers believe - Pippa.

Some six years ago, Pippa Middleton was known only in a narrow circle. Private boarding Marlborough College, University of Edinburgh, Diploma in English Literature. No outstanding success in studies or sports was noticed.

But in one day the girl became a mega-star. On April 29, 2011, on the wedding day of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Pippa became famous throughout the world thanks to her good physique and perfectly tailored dress.

A socialite without any special talents or career, Middleton quickly became one of the rather enviable brides. And Pippa maintained her image: there were rumors about an affair with one of the representatives of the old aristocratic family, with a major financier, there was even talk of flirting with Prince Harry. But not just gossip and romantic adventures girls from secular society. Pippa published a book on how to properly hold parties, wrote columns in a glossy magazine, and shone on various events. She was a star and at the same time only “the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge.” It’s not that the relative’s shadow unpleasantly completely hid the girl, but still. It's kind of annoying.

But now the situation has changed dramatically, one might even say radically. Last weekend, Pippa received a marriage proposal from 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 good-looking (by English standards, of course), well-mannered, he also owns a fortune the size of which exceeds the GDP of some third world countries. James really feels Pippa and is not averse to pampering his beloved. Proof of this is a diamond ring worth about 250 thousand pounds. By comparison, Kate's sapphire ring, previously owned by Princess Diana, is valued at approximately £110,000 and is a Windsor family heirloom, meaning it was loaned to Kate. Do you feel the difference?

So, Pippa was clearly much luckier than older sister- the infamous Daily Mail society columnist Jen Moir is absolutely sure of this and provides quite strong 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, hand-tied for the rest of her life by protocol, the schedule of the royal palace and social conventions.

Her Ladyship is forced to constantly monitor her outfits and the clothes of her children (God forbid, George and Charlotte appear in expensive designer outfits, this is a scandal!), forget about Gucci, Dior and similar couture, as well as chic accessories. The worst thing for the Duchess is to appear wasteful to the public. Therefore, she chooses relatively modest and inexpensive toilets, and occasionally goes on vacation with her family to ski resorts. He also constantly monitors his schedule of meetings and visits. Who said that being a princess is easy and simple?

In principle, Pippa will not have such problems. She doesn’t need to demonstrate or prove anything to anyone. Her life is not scheduled by the clock. Versace dress? Please. New jewelry? Why not? What about a vacation to St. Barts? James's parents own one of the luxury hotels on the island. By the way, Pippa can go to the island - just to sunbathe - on her future husband's personal plane. And almost at any time.

But most importantly, the future Mrs. Matthews will not suffer from excessive attention from the press and 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 as annoying as she wants. Buckingham Palace is unlikely to pay attention to this.”
