"Has Pippa Middleton broken up with former England cricketer Alex Loudon?"

Pippa Middleton has split from her boyfriend, it was claimed today.

The younger sister of the new Duchess of Cambridge has not been seen in public with former England cricketer Alex Loudon for weeks.

'It is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up,' one told the Sunday Times.

The 27-year-old has become one of the most eligible women in Britain since she made her appearance at the wedding of Prince William to Kate and has been pictured with a string of male friends since.

Trooping the Colour

As the Queen’s official birthday parade and fly-past took place, Catherine looked as ease among her new Royal relatives and particularly Harry, with whom she and William are currently sharing an apartment at Clarence House.

"Kate joins the royal recyclers: Duchess gives favourite coat an extra outing"

How refreshing! It's nice to know that if the Duchess of Cambridge can do it, so can we! Don't be afraid to re-wear your clothing to more than one big do! Especially if you have great like pieces like Kate!



Above Kate can be seen wearing the same periwinkle blue Jacquard coat dress that she donned in 2009 for the wedding of her husband’s close friend, Nicholas van Cutsem. She paired this outfit with the £175 nude LK Bennett heels that she has sported several times recently – which are identical to pairs owned by her sister Pippa and mother Carole. It also seems like Kate is wearing the same blue Reiss dress that she wore the day after her wedding to Prince William, when walking around the grounds of Buckingham Palace. 


In this picture Kate is  attending "the wedding of close friend Sam Waley-Cohen in the same black and white silk cocktail dress that she wore on a night out in London with Pippa in 2007, during her brief split from William." Also, take note of the fact that Kate is wearing what appear to be tights in the first picture (left), even though it's June. It is considered proper etiquette to wear tights to weddings (or other formal occasions), no matter what the season.

Pippa takes in some Tennis

On Thursday June 9th, Pippa Middleton watched some tennis at the Queen's Club, the Daily Mail reported.

Following in her sister's footsteps, Pippa seems to know how to dress for every event and look effortless doing it. We might have seen Kate in something similar while attending some kind of sporting events a few just a couple of years back. However, it seems that Kate has been refining her personal style leading up to her prominent engagement. Which of course makes plenty of sense, as she was no longer just "Kate", but a girl planning to marry the future King of England.

Will and Kate Attend The 10th Annual Absolute Return for Kids (Ark) Gala Dinner

Even though Kate's dress for this particular event isn't as "traditional" and clean cut as she usually wears, it still fits her perfectly, which gives her that signature simple and elegant look she's become known for.
