If you’re anything like us, you would assume that older sister Kate would be a bridesmaid, never mind Matron of Honour, but your assumption would be wrong. Kate will in fact not be part of the bridal party. Why? Because she would be upstaging the bride on her big day.
According to royals author Judy Wade: “It’s a tricky situation for Pippa. She would want her sister by her side, as who else would she trust to make things go well?” she tells People magazine. “But if your sister is a future queen, she is going to upstage the bride and draw attention. Kate would want to be in the background as much as possible.”
Bridesmaid or no, we’re sure Kate will be supporting her little sis no matter what!
