Two years after accompanying her sister Kate down the aisle, Pippa Middleton, the world’s most famous bridesmaid, is ready to become a bride, a UK newspaper has reported.
A friend of Pippa has told the paper Pippa was ready to seal the deal with boyfriend Nico Jackson and that the couple were already secretly engaged with the news expected to be announced after her 30th birthday next week.
“Pippa loved seeing Kate going down the aisle and now it is her turn for a fairytale wedding,” the insider told Sunday People.
“She couldn’t be more sure that Nico is the right man for her. They are such a good fit for each other and their families get on really well. Everyone is so happy for Pippa.”
The pair are thought to have become engaged in June shortly before the Wimbledon tennis tournament which they attended together, but friends say they have held off making any announcement so not to steal the spotlight from Pippa’s sister, the Duchess of Cambridge, and baby Prince George.
Pippa, 29, has been dating 35-year-old stockbroker Nico Jackson for six months, and anticipation of their impending nuptials has led to speculation the Duchess of Cambridge will return the favour and be bridesmaid to her younger sister.
“Everyone knows how close the sisters are but at this stage the final arrangements are a long way off. Pippa’s wedding will be a huge occasion but if Kate is bridesmaid it will be even more high-profile,” the friend said.
“One of the things Pippa likes most is the way Nico is so relaxed aroud her parents. They really like him.
“Her mum Carole is behind the engagement 100 per cent. And Carole and Nico’s mum Ulrike get on like a house on fire.”
