Pippa Middleton Leaves James Matthews At Home To Attend Wimbledon

Pippa Middleton appeared without her boyfriend James Matthew for the first time in a while. It’s the favorite time of the year for her – Wimbledon – and just because James has to work during the day, doesn’t mean that she will miss out on the exciting game of tennis.

Good thing that Pippa had another James in her life to be next to her at Wimbledon – her younger brother James Middleton!

“She’s a staunch tennis fan and attends Wimbledon each year without fail so it was little surprise that Pippa Middleton put in an appearance at the All England Club on Monday,” reports Daily Mail. “The 32-year-old author and party planner looked chic as she displayed her trim figure in a fitted £1,200 cream dress emblazoned with red poppies by Suzannah. The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge arrived with her younger brother, James Middleton, who looked dapper in a navy suit, blue and white checked shirt and burgundy tie.”

She and her brother have often been seen enjoying an afternoon off in Wimbledon. Last year, they saw as many games as they possibly could, soaking in the summer English sun and hanging out with their friends.

Wimbledon has also been a period in Pippa’s time in the year when she is not seen with her significant other as much. Even when she was dating Nico Jackson, she wasn’t caught in her box seat with her man, despite the fact that she has been seeing him for years.

So maybe it isn’t a big surprise that her current boyfriend James Matthews isn’t accompanying her to the games.

That doesn’t mean that James and Pippa aren’t serious. The longer that they are together, the more the public is wondering if wedding is in the horizon for them.

“Sources tell me that James Matthews is whisking her away to the Caribbean island of St Barts in September – where he might pop the question at his parents’ exclusive hotel, Eden Rock,” reports Daily Mail. “A ‘save the date card’ is already circulating among close pals with the message: ‘Don’t Tell Pippa,’ while mum Carole is in on it, too.”

They have seen doing all the other milestone activities of a high-society English couple might engage in. Earlier this month, they were seen enjoying a meal at a fancy restaurant right after work, even holding hands as they exited the establishment.

“Pippa Middleton and her hedge fund manager boyfriend James Matthews were seen holding hands as they left a swanky Kensington restaurant,” reports Daily Mail. “They were seen walking into Restaurant Ours, where a caviar and avocado starter costs £23, in west London, near where the couple live in Mr Matthews £17million home. Miss Middleton was smiling as she held her beau’s hand, clutching her phone in the other and wearing tight white trousers and flats with a floral blouse.”

They have also moved in together as soon as they established that they were in a serious relationship.

“As the Royal sister-in-law enjoyed a romantic holiday in Corsica with hedge fund manager James Matthews last week, removal men were busy loading her possessions into his £17 million West London home,” reports Daily Mail. “They discreetly moved tables and chairs, dresses, coats, shoes and ornaments into his palatial property from the nearby apartment Pippa had been sharing with her brother James.”

Word on the street has it that James is also getting serious with his girlfriend Donna Air, having delayed his move to Hong Kong. Maybe love is in the air for the unmarried Middleton siblings!

“They’ve been plagued by rumours that their relationship has hit a rough patch, but James Middleton and Donna Air seemed closer than ever as they enjoyed an intimate dinner in London last week,” reports Daily Mail. “Donna, 36, could hardly keep the smile from her face as she left the establishment after the meal and while the pair weren’t holding hands, they kept each other close at all times.”
