The statement confirms engagement rumors that started after Middleton appeared in photographs with a diamond ring on her left hand as she left her London home.
The sister of Duchess Catherine and 40-year-old James Matthews have revealed they are to tie the knot in 2017 after he popped the question on Sunday (17.07.16).
Matthews reportedly proposed during a trip to England’s Lake District.
“They make a wonderful couple and we wish them every happiness together”, Michael Middleton stated in a release, saying that he and his wife are “absolutely thrilled”.
Kate Middleton had to learn of her sister Pippa Middleton’s recent engagement like the rest of us plebes.
Their wedding is sure to be on a scale that will rival Kate and Prince William’s extravagant Westminster Abbey ceremony in 2011, at which Pippa was maid of honor.
Still, Pippa’s betrothal to James Matthews, who is apparently a hedge fund manager and disappointingly not Prince Harry, is fantastic news for royal watchers and basically everyone else.
The senior royals have already said they are “absolutely delighted” by the news.

But she added: “She’s engaged, she’s excited why shouldn’t she be able to flaunt it?” They rekindled the romance last year after she split from financier Nico Jackson, following a three-year relationship. “It sits fairly high on her finger allowing as much light to enter the diamond as possible and reflect back giving stunning brilliance and fire”.
