Star studded line-up for Pippa’s big day
Family, friends and famous faces attend ceremony in Berkshire
Pippa Middleton sealed her society wedding to James Matthews with a kiss – as Prince Harry reportedly made a 100-mile round trip to bring girlfriend Meghan Markle to the reception.
The royal was pictured on the front page of the Sun driving his actress partner to the Middletons’ Berkshire estate after picking her up from London on Saturday evening.
The pair were seen smiling as they drove to the reception for the new bride and groom who tied the knot at the picturesque St Mark’s church in the Berkshire village of Englefield.
The society nuptials of the year was witnessed by family, close friends and famous faces including tennis star Roger Federer and wife Mirka, celebrity Donna Air, Princess Eugenie, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, as well as Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Also among the congregation, was Pippa’s controversial uncle Gary Goldsmith and Lady Gabriella Windsor, daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
After the ceremony, Pippa and James walked hand-in-hand from the church and posed for the waiting press before sharing a lingering kiss at the lych gate.
Ahead of them the tiny pageboys, dressed in gold britches and shirts, and flower girls in cream sash dresses had scattered confetti petals from baskets.
The bride kept her wedding gown a secret until she arrived – a bespoke Giles Deacon wedding gown.
Kate, who wore a peach dress by Alexander McQueen and matching hat by Jane Taylor, acted as a much-needed chaperone for the bridesmaids and page boys.
