Pippa Middleton’s wedding to Terribly Moderately Wealthy James Matthews happened three months ago. So much has changed! Not really. Pippa and James went on an extravagant and very public honeymoon around the world, which was almost entirely documented by photographers and the British press. Then Pippa kept showing up for Wimbledon matches last month, sitting smugly in the Royal Box for most of her appearances. She’s also been documented by photographers in London, riding her bike or going to the gym. So, that’s a summary of Pippa’s life in the past three months. I don’t know why E! News needed to do this gaudy “Inside Pippa Middleton’s Life Three Months After She Married James Matthews” piece, but here you go. This is the only interesting part:
Even more recently, Pippa, 33, was spotted keeping up with her typically intense fitness routine while making her way to the gym in London’s Chelsea neighborhood. Wearing black yoga pants and a red athletic top, Middleton hopped on a bike and pedaled to KX gym for a sweat session.
Ahead of her wedding, a source clued E! News in on her bridal body boot camp regimen: “Pippa has met with her PT about five times a week and mostly sticks to cardio and pilates. She feels amazing. Her diet is the healthiest ever—she hasn’t even had a glass of wine in months. She’s had facial treatments sometimes once a week or once a fortnight.”
Did we already know this? I’m struggling to remember? Pippa stopped drinking ahead of her wedding. I would assume (??) she’s still not drinking much of anything because I would assume she’s probably trying to get pregnant? I don’t know though. Kate waited a year and a half after her wedding before she got pregnant, but I thought Pippa wanted to prove that she was so different than Kate? One way to do that is to get pregnant right away. Also: facial treatments every two weeks… sounds about right. I wonder if Pippa’s facialist has tried to de-orange her at all.

You don’t need to stop drinking wine while trying to conceive (unless you are struggling to conceive, it sometimes helps).
Nothing can make me give up my wine! I go to the gym so that I can feel good about my after work glass of wine.
She has a real knack for finding ugly dresses.

Just go away would she! Both Wisterias copying Prince Harry’s Meghan – only the leathered aged sisters look awful.
While Mehgan makes the most of her soft sparkling classy chic – likes of Qn Rania, Leticia, Maxi- CP Mary and Sweden Princesses.
She’s style-anemic.
I was just thinking, does she look into a mirror before leaving the house. UGH!!
This common among attention seekers because they know it will get them press. So they either deliberately choose an off-the-wall outfit or copy another celeb so they can be in “who wore it best”.
I hardly consider her clothing choices to be “off the wall.” They all follow similar flouncy, feminine bohemian styles. These dresses are classic Valentino, Erdem and many other notable fashion houses. Nothing crazy about that. She’s not decked out in a meat-dress.
Well, she’s living a Terribly Moderately Wealthy life, alright. But, if she’s trying to conceive, she might do better by backing off on the intense exercise and knocking back some nice wine.
THIS!!
Exercise, unless there’s an underlying medical issue, should have no bearing on conception. However, because so often the sports coaches that are hired have truly no background in anatomy or physiology have no clue that it’s actually abnormal for a woman to stop menstruating, and it’s a sign that she’s not taking in enough calories. Not to mention, what’s mentioned above isn’t particularly intense for someone who’s used to endurance athletics. It’s cardio and Pilates.
Man, they have no style at all!
He looks like the BFG!!! The one from the movie. I couldn’t place his face all this time and this weekend I watched it with my daughter and now I can’t unsee it!
OMG. Just googled BFG to remind me what he looked like in the movie. It’s unreal – like they actually modelled him off this guy!! wow – good call.
She definitely does not have Kate’s style or stylist.
Wouldn’t be much of an upgrade if she did.

@AMELIA Someone else has pointed that out and it really is the only thing you see when you look at TMR James !!!
Is she training for a marathon? Maybe that’s why she has such an intense regime. I would find that kind of life boring, of course she doesn’t need to work, but she could do something.
I couldn’t live without my glass of wine with dinner.
Marathoner here – that’s not an intense regime. I’d actually guess that she’s just doing basic maintenance fitness.
If she doesn’t work, maybe exercise gives her something to do. It’s probably easier to love exercise when you’re a rich person with no job.
I feel left out in this wine-soaked trend. It increases your breast cancer risk something like 10%, and with my mom dying of breast cancer very young (and watching that long, tortuous battle), and my aunt having ovarian cancer- I just cannot do it. I could only ever feel panicked and like I was hurting myself. Oh, well. Chocolate it is.
Sorry to hear about all this. If it’s your mother’s sister with ovarian cancer, maybe you all have considered testing for the BRCA1/2 mutations.
Chocolate is at least as supportive!
Yeah I love wine but have it very rarely. People are in denial that the latest studies have shown that it’s not even good for your heart but everyone ignores that and still touts the old (now refuted) studies that say that it is.
Alcohol is a neurotoxin and an irritant. It raises the risk of several cancers and does not have any health benefits.
So truly everything in moderation. I wish I could get my husband to cut back :S
She doesn’t really need to get facials, she needs to stop tanning.
I’d forgotten she existed!
She has too much space between her neck and her boobs, she needs to stop wearing high collar dresses and tops, it makes the boobs look saggy. A V-neck would look so much better. (I have the same problem, you won’t find a high collar anywhere near my closet).
I never noticed but you’re right.
When I was laid off during the Internet bubble bust I had just joined a high end gym. Full of rich ‘second wives’ these ladies drop the kids off then work out for 1 to 2 hours, they are quite thin and extremely competive. While I always thought thin people were just lucky I realized it’s more like a cult. So exercise can draw you in and if you don’t work out you get crazy. But having said all that this is hardly a flaw it’s a lifestyle we should all be so fortunate to indulge if desired.
I know people make fun of this guy’s looks, but she looks thrilled with him. (I’m not saying the latter in a bad way).
Yeah, she saw he bank accounts. HEY HOO !!!
I kind of like that pink doily dress. And usually she annoys me, but I’m feeling a lot of warmth from her huge smile.
Stay at home mom here. I work out usually every weekday after drop off. It’s a great way for me to talk to “big people” as most women there are stay at home moms too. We get to exercise, socialize, have a little fun. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I liked it so much that now I teach exercise classes and love that too. Staying at home can be pretty lonely. Although I can’t imagine having her lifestyle with someone to do the cooking and cleaning and shopping. That might get boring since that’s basically what I do all day!
Is it weird that I feel bad for her?
I dunno. She (supposedly) has all that money, but like. What does she do all day? Aside from going to the gym and hobknobbing with the rest of her rich friends? Wouldn’t you get bored?
Sometimes I read the Tatler website, and like. This is literally just all the rich aristos do. Go to parties, go to the gym. And then what? ??? I hate to sound like a pretentious ahole, but like, where is the meaning in that sort of life?
I remember reading something about Princess Margaret once, that she’d only wake up at 11 in the morning, have a light breakfast in bed, then lunch at 1, then go to all the stage shows and such in the evenings with her friends. And I can understand getting up at 11 on a weekend or a vacation. But how can someone do that every day? What’s even the point?
I agree. She is educated, she could do something. That lifestyle sounds really boring to me.
She could perform service help others like genuine wealthy caring aristo ladies.
Like her sister, I’m guessing Pips doesn’t like to actually work. She’s more about showing off her status. She’s the millennial version of ‘ladies- who-lunch’. There’s probably ‘coffee klatsches’ involved as well. She’s not likely to bring back the salon even if she seems educated.
Well, yeah, but it’s also very much a class thing, no? It’s not that she doesn’t like to work, most aristo women don’t. Very few have vocations in the way we think of them. They are seriously old fashioned up to today about stuff like that, and it’s not because they’re lazy or because they don’t like to work. It’s because they just, don’t.
There was an interview with the Duchess of Rutland once where she said to the reporter that she’d, “Very much like her daughters to have a career before they get married.” And I thought that was an odd thing to express because, of course? Who wouldn’t want a career? Then I realized that it’s entirely out of place for them. They’ve never needed to work. Moreover, “working” in the strictest sense is just not their thing. That’s why so many of them wind up doing things like, “lifestyle guru” or “interior decorator” (or “photography”) etc. It’s not that those things aren’t careers, but they’re passable enough while still being proper pursuits for aristocratic women. There’s more than one example of women like that in this generation–Kitty Spencer, all of the Manners sisters, a lot of aristo “it” girls in her twenties have no discernible career.
It’s all very Downton Abbey like, and it just bothers me because these are the same people who wind up voting Conservative during elections, who want to take away benefits from everyone else, who support measures like gutting the NHS. The Duke of Rutland is a member of UKIP and more than one of his daughters were in favour of Brexit. When they say the class divide is a problem in the UK, it’s astonishing to me just how much that’s true.
My guess with Pippa and Kate is that they were encouraged by Carole to emulate that sort of upper-class behaviour. Carole’s been a social-climbing parvenu since day one. Of course she’d want her daughters to ape whatever the upper-class girls were doing. It’s part of what annoys me about them. They front like they’re middle class, but they’re desperate. They only front because they think it makes them more likeable to the public. But the disconnect between what they say they are and what they actually are is huge.
Re: the subject header- nothing will compensate for her awful sartorial choices. She should exercise her right to a stylist.
lol @Hmmm
Or “She should exercise her butt right to a stylist.”
She looks as shop soiled as the other Middleton parasite.
Amen!
As fake useless lazy waste of.
Amen!
Judt as fake useless lazy waste of.
