The Queen's club: Glowing Pippa Middleton gets caught in the rain at tennis match

By Maysa Rawi


All smiles: Pippa Middleton and friend George Percy attend the AEGON tennis championship at Queen's Club


Pippa Middleton was all smiles today as she attended Queen's Club to watch the tennis.

Catherine's sister spent the day at the tournament with ex-boyfriend, friend and current boss George Percy.

The pair took time out from work to watch Andy Murray, who competed with Janko Tipsarevic during day four of the AEGON championship.

All white: Pippa wore a denim jacket, pretty broderie anglais dress and matching wedges


Before heading over to the exclusive member’s only club, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister was spotted shopping in Chelsea.

She wore a denim jacket and white broderie anglais dress, matching cork wedges and an L.K. Bennett handbag.

Pippa, who is currently dating former cricketer Alex Loudon, has been working for George, whose father is one of the richest men in Britain, after he set up the business last year with ­mining magnate Algy Cluff, who owns gold mines in war-torn Sierra Leone.

Glowing: The tennis fan won a sports scholarship to Marlborough school and often plays herself

Downpour: Pippa gets caught in the rain but doesn't let the weather dampen her spirits


The company aims to find ways of turning hot water stored underground into heat and electricity.

Along with experts from Newcastle ­University, they are drilling boreholes in ­Co Durham, and Pippa is expected to help with lobbying for a new licensing system from the government so they can go into production.


Miss Middleton and Mr Percy dated while at Edinburgh University and have been friends for nearly ten years.

Pippa returns to the scene of her triumph: The younger Middleton heads to the Goring Hotel for a beach party with her parents

By Daily Mail Reporter


Life's a beach: Pippa Middleton glides out of the Goring Hotel in London where she attended a beach party held in their garden


Pippa Middleton was catapulted into the limelight after wearing 'that dress' at the royal wedding and last night she returned to where it all began.

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister accompanied her mother Carole and father Michael on a return visit to the Goring Hotel for a special beach party.

Her royal hotness, 27, looked great in a patterned dress by French label Maje which she cinched in with a beige belt.

Keeping things casual, Pippa accessorised with a bright purple cardigan and a pair of the same leg-lengthening nude L.K. Bennett court shoes worn by sister Kate to last week's Derby.

Chic: The Duchess of Cambridge's sister looked great in her floral patterned dress and purple cardigan


Oddly, her shoes were an almost exact match of those worn by her mother.

Carole Middleton's dress was also a similar cut to her daughter's, featuring a coloured hexagonal design matched with a silk belt tied around her waist.

Father Michael kept it simple in a black suit with a red tie.

The threesome, and some friends, visited private members' club Harry's Bar before returning to the hotel where they spent the night before the royal wedding.

They went back to The Goring to attend a beach party, held in the hotel's grounds where the owners have built a new beach bar.

Owner Jeremy Goring brought in Basil Charles, owner of Basil's Bar on the Caribbean island Mustique, to oversee the exciting project.

Best foot forward: Pippa's shoes were almost exactly the same as those worn by her mother, Carole

Jolly good night: The threesome leave Harry's Bar private members' club


It is being built by Blue Forest, who specialise in über-luxury, sustainable tree houses and eco-lodges.

And the interior of the bar, while inspired by Basil’s, has been given some quirky touches of its own by The Goring’s interior designer, Russell Sage.

They have shipped in tons of sand, three fishing boats and a palm-thatched roof - as well as cocktails created by Basil.

Pin-up Pippa: Kate Middleton's sister smiles as she makes her way home


Pippa and her parents would have been able to choose from concoctions such as the Mustique Mule, the Hurricane David and Basil’s Rum Punch.

Earlier in the week, Pippa showed she had lost none of her athletic prowess by taking part in a triathlon.

Despite soaring temperatures, Kate’s younger sister earned a well-deserved medal after completing a 5km race in the GE Blenheim Triathlon, which takes place every year at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.

Guests: Judith Chalmers and a male companion leave the Goring event

Dressed for the beach: Christopher Biggins wears a Hawaiian shirt and shorts to the event


Pippa was joined by two male friends and opted to do the running part of the competition while the boys completed tough swimming and cycling sections.

Dressed in a pink and grey vest, matching shorts, a £270 pair of Bulgari sunglasses and with an ankle tag to time her, Pippa breezed through her race, completing it in a time of 25 minutes and 30 seconds.

‘People were excited to see her,’ said Alex Coulson, an organiser of the event which attracted 6,000 spectators.

‘The boys completed their courses in good time and joined Pippa to run across the finishing line together.’

Pippa is well-known as a keen sportswoman. At Marlborough and Edinburgh University, she played hockey and tennis and, like her sister, works out daily.

Pippa's Paris freebie: VIP treatment at the tennis tournament for Kate's sister

By REBECCA ENGLISH

VIP treatment: Pippa Middleton receives a book from Xavier Peugeot during her freebie trip to watch the tennis in Paris


Sitting centre stage at the French Open on Monday, she appeared to be having a ball. And no wonder.

For Pippa Middleton was enjoying what those in the business like to call a ‘freebie’, courtesy of leading car firm Peugeot, which sponsors the Paris tennis tournament.

Indeed so excited was the company at its coup that news of the younger Middleton sister’s arrival in the Roland Garros VIP enclosure was plastered over the competition’s official programme yesterday with the headline: ‘Pippa à Roland! Sensation!’


Best seats in the house: Pippa could barely hide her delight as she watched the action through her Gucci sunglasses at Roland Garros


Her host Xavier Peugeot, who is the great, great grandson of one of the original founders of the firm, Armand, ensured the moment was captured for posterity.

Mr Peugeot, who is the family firm’s director of marketing and communications, even presented the new Duke of Cambridge’s sister-in-law with a lavishly bound book charting the 200-year history of the brand.

A coquettish Pippa – who normally drives a BMW Z4 – looked delighted to receive it.

The six-day trip saw Kate’s little (and some would say wildly more ambitious) sister arrive on Eurostar in Paris on Thursday for a few days’ sightseeing, with everything done in the best possible taste.

It will, however, raise questions about whether it is wise for her to be seen ‘cashing in’ on her sister’s new found celebrity.


Swanky: Pippa stayed for part of her holiday at a luxury apartment in the super chic - and eye-wateringly expensive - Rue de Varenne


Her seats at the Roland Garros tournament on Monday were some of the best in the house and Pippa, 27, who is herself a formidable player, couldn’t hide her delight as she watched the on-court action through a pair of tinted Gucci sunglasses.

A Peugeot source said: ‘Pippa was invited to Roland Garros by a friend who was a guest in the Peugeot VIP area hosted by Xavier. Once they realised who she was, she was introduced to a number of influential people. As a high profile and distinguished guest Xavier was keen to give her a gift to mark the firm’s bicentenary.’

The tennis tournament’s organisers were clearly also cock-a-hoop at the publicity Pippa’s visit afforded them, with the event’s daily newsletter picturing her on the front.

Now Paris gets a taste of Her Royal Hotness: Pippa pops over the Channel to watch the French Open

By Daily Mail Reporter


Showing them how it's done: Pippa puts on the style at the French Open


Fresh from her trip to Madrid with friends, girl-about-town Pippa Middleton has headed off to the continent again - this time to watch a spot of tennis.

The 27-year-old, dubbed Her Royal Hotness after winning a host of admirers for her star turn as maid of honour at sister Kate's wedding to Prince William, was spotted taking in the action at Roland Garros.

She joined a group of friends at the French Open to watch defending champion, Rafael Nadal, beat Ivan Ljubicic in his fourth round match, 7-5 6-3 6-3.

Happy: Pippa appears to be enjoying the defending champion's game

All smiles: Pippa could hardly hide her delight while sitting courtside


Slimline Pippa, whose figure has prompted adoring Facebook groups and internet sites, donned a short skirt and on-trend peeptoe heels which showed off her tanned and toned legs.

A black top, together with sunglasses and handbag, completed the relaxed outfit for her trip to the grand slam championship.

The main attraction: Pippa clearly enjoys being the centre of attention at the Paris championships


The 27-year-old has reportedly taken on a job working for her ex-boyfriend George Percy, who runs a geothermal energy firm, so presumably getting time off may not have been a problem.

The news of her job came after she spent a week with George, the 26-year-old son of the Duke of Northumberland, and a group of friends in Madrid.

Pippa will juggle the role with her job at party planning firm Table Talk, and editing an online magazine for her parents’ firm Party Pieces.

Standing out from the crowd: Pippa makes her mark at the match

Looking good: Pippa adjusts her locks to keep the hair off her neck


Engrossed: Pippa and her friend seem engrossed from behind their sunglasses

P-Middy will give you a bottom like Pippa Middleton's

By Gillian Reeves, Personal Trainer


Famous: Pippa's derriere has won millions of admirers since stepping out as maid of honour at sister Kate's wedding


Thanks to post-wedding Miss Middleton mania, I'm being bombarded with questions about how to tone bottoms - my female clients are desperate for a nicely rounded, perky behind just in time for summer.

There are moves that can help shape and lift the rear, whatever your shape.

This one - I call it the P-Middy - is great because it uses all three gluteal muscles that make up the backside and has the added bonus of toning your tummy and thighs.


Make sure your body is warmed up as this exercise requires a large range of movement through the hip and knee joints.

Place your feet a little wider than hip-width apart and allow your feet to turn out slightly to the corners of the room.

Place your hands halfway down your thighs and bend both knees slightly.

You will naturally start to lean forwards. If possible, try to make your torso run parallel to the floor, looking straight ahead. If this is too demanding, lean forward just a little.

No pain, no gain: A model demonstrates the P-Middy, which should help you achieve the Pippa Middleton derriere


Make sure the spine is straight and not curving. Your abdominals will automatically tense to support your lower back.

Now, with hands still on your thighs, transfer your weight on to the right leg, keeping it bent, and straighten your left leg out as much as possible to the side, keeping the knees in line with your ankles.

Tense your buttocks and hold this position for a couple of seconds. Now transfer your weight from your right side to your left, mirroring the previous position and holding for a couple of seconds again.

Repeat this shift from right to left until your legs and hips start to feel tired - this usually takes between ten and 20 repetitions.

Be conscious to keep your back straight throughout this exercise, with your abdominal muscles tensed, and look straight ahead.
