Pippa Middleton To Adele: Hello, Want To Sing At My Wedding? (REPORT)

Pippa Middleton will wed Eden Roc Capital Management CEO James Matthews next year, and like any bride-to-be, Middleton is going full steam ahead with wedding plans.

Middleton, 33, was hoping to hire Adele to sing at the nuptials, a source told Us Weekly.

Then she realized that someone as talented as Adele could command up to $1 million for an appearance.

Hurrah for charity and the spirit of giving and betrothals!

Pippa Middleton made her debut at BGC Charity Day in London’s Canary Wharf on September 12th, put on by BGC Partners and Cantor Fitzgerald in New York to raise money for the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund.

The annual day remembers the 658 Cantor employees and 61 Eurobrokers who perished in the September 11th attacks at the World Trade Center. [Read more…]

An Explanation on Pippa Middleton’s Title

Last week, after the dust settled and Pippa Middleton’s engagement to financier James Matthews became old news, the Daily Express revealed that Middleton will one day become “Lady Glen Affric.”

The press had a field day with the news, billing it as a new way for Middleton to try and one-up her older sister, the Duchess of Cambridge.  “Two Titles For The Middleton Girls!” was all any media outlet could talk about.

Do you hear that whirring sound?  That would be Carole Middleton spinning around her massive Bucklebury home in glee.

Why?  Because her younger daughter will one day inherit a title, just like her older sister.

Not as grand, no, but still…Pippa Middleton’s fiance, James Matthews is a self-made man and is doing very well for himself, but his family also happens to enjoy great success the luxury hotel business.

Pippa Middleton Confirms Engagement To James Matthews, Looks Giddy As Heck

Good on ya, Pipps!

Last night, the Daily Mail‘s Richard Kay had it on good authority that Pippa Middleton was engaged to investment firm owner James Matthews.

At around the same time the story was published, Middleton attended a party in support of the British Heart Foundation, hiding her left hand from photographers (though no bauble was visible, it’s likely Middleton was hiding a ring tan).  [Read more…]

Back in 2012, it was widely reported that the Duchess of Cambridge was into making jams and giving them out as gifts.

In fact, royal reporter Katie Nicholl specified that Catherine “started making homemade pots of fruit jam” while William worked as a search-and-rescue pilot for the RAF in Wales.

“She gave strawberry jam and plum preserves out as Christmas pres­ents” in 2011, Nicholls reported.

Catherine more or less confirmed this during a teaser for the upcoming ITV documentary, The Queen at 90. [Read more…]

A Solo (And Gorgeous) Pippa Middleton Speaks At British Heart Foundation Ball

With a heart-shaped clutch, (what I believe is) a gold Cartier LOVE bracelet and a Mustique tan, Pippa Middleton posed for photos before giving a speech at tonight’s British Heart Foundation Ball.

I want to say that Middleton is wearing Kiki McDonough’s smoky quartz round drop earrings (color isn’t available on the site, but here is the shape for reference).

The organization’s ambassador wore a bespoke Tabitha Webb dress for the occasion, and walked the red carpet solo, despite many assuming that rumored boyfriend James Matthews would be her Plus One.

Inside the Savoy Hotel, Middleton took to the podium to welcome guests. Her speech touched on the loss of friend Miles Frost, son of Sir David Frost who died on a job this past summer, and her vow to fight back against heart disease.

BRF tweeted that the event raised over $230,000.

Back in October 2012, Pippa Middleton was spotted on a date with James Matthews, who started his own firm, Eden Rock Capital Management in 2001, and is the older brother of Made in Chelsea‘s Spencer Matthews.

The relationship didn’t last long.  Shortly after, Middleton began a three-year relationship with Nico Jackson.  The two broke up last October, according to People. [Read more…]

Pippa Middleton’s Blue Jenny Packham Gown: Yay or Nay?

On Saturday night, Pippa Middleton attended the annual Boodles Boxing Ball at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, raising funds for the Gordon Ramsay Foundation in association with Cancer Research UK.  The ball raises funds for a different charity each time, drawing in the great and the good from London society to cheer on amateur boxers.

Middleton and her older sister, the Duchess of Cambridge, have appeared at the biennial charity event on and off since 2006, when Catherine made her first appearance in a clingy blue BCBG gown.

Since marrying Prince William in 2011, however, Catherine hasn’t been seen at the ball (found glass slipper, married prince, moved to palace…fairy tale checklist). [Read more…]

Pippa Middleton Writes Another Out-of-Touch Story, Does Her Image No Favors

I’ve tried to defend her against critics, but there’s only so much one can do when faced with a Workouts 101 story that belongs in an era when physical fitness was a brand new concept.

The Daily Mail had a whale of a time mocking Pippa Middleton‘s Waitrose Column on working out, where she doled out gems like “Working harder will increase your metabolic rate, not only during exercise but for a few hours after too,” and “Regular power walks at a moderate-to-high intensity will give you those wonderful endorphins – invaluable to staying positive and crunching calories.”
