But since the royal wedding, Pippa has remained a support for her sister, although she has led a quieter life than the Princess of Wales, especially since moving to Berkshire with her husband James Matthews and their three children Arthur, Grace and Rose.
In September, just before Pippa’s 40th birthday, it was reported that she and James had swapped their £17m Chelsea residence for a quieter property in Berkshire, where she and her siblings spent much of their childhood.

The sisters remained close when they reached university age and both chose to study in Scotland: Pippa in Edinburgh and Kate in St Andrews (after a brief stint in Edinburgh).
After finishing school, the brothers moved to the Big Smoke, where they shared an apartment in Chelsea.
In their twenties, while Kate was working for Jigsaw and Pippa was in PR and events, the sisters frequented the London nightlife scene and were often photographed together visiting clubs loved by high society in the 2000s.
Although Pippa has previously been described as the more “outgoing” of the two sisters, she remained a support to Kate during the princess’s engagement to Prince William.
