She announced her engagement to James Matthews this week, and they’ve already revealed they plan to marry next year, so that means we can start thinking about what to expect from Pippa Middleton’s hen party. “They like James and they are sure he will make Pippa very happy”, a family friend said.
She was reportedly “totally surprised” by the proposal. So, who is the man set to be the Duchess of Cambridge’s new brother-in-law? And given the stunning diamond ring, Pippa is sporting, one can rest assured that her wedding is also going to be a gala affair, dotted with the flavors of the royal wedding, we saw at her sister Kate’s nuptials.
On Tuesday, Middleton’s sister Pippa and boyfriend James Matthews, a hedge funder who runs Eden Rock Capital Management, confirmed their engagement.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Matthews proposed during a weekend visit to northwest England’s Lake District.
The bride-to-be got a ton of attention during Kate’s wedding to Prince William in 2011, when she attended the event in a booty-hugging white gown.
Janet Street Porter launched a scathing attack on Pippa Middleton during a discussion about her engagement on Loose Women. Like his future wife, he has a famous sibling – his younger brother Spencer Matthews is the star of the hit reality show, Made in Chelsea.
Pippa and James dated in 2012 but split before getting back together last year following the brunette beauty’s split from financier Nico Jackson after three years.
