Her Royal Hotness: How Kate's foxy sister Pippa stole the show (leaving naughty Uncle Gary to languish in the shadows)

Hari mungkin milik Duke baru dan Duchess of Cambridge, namun pemain pembantu hampir sama mencekam, dan tak satu pun dari mereka lebih daripada anggota dari apa yang cepat menjadi keluarga Inggris yang paling terkenal dan menarik.

Middleton-pengamat yang cukup dihargai dengan tontonan saraf, tan, martabat, pakaian mengejutkan dan daya tarik seks (ya, yang mengacu pada Anda, Miss Philippa Middleton!).

Memang, Anda bahkan bisa mengatakan bahwa Westminster Abbey Tampilkan merasa hanya sebanyak Bucklebury (desa Berkshire dimana Middletons hidup) seperti yang dilakukan Buckingham Palace - meskipun semua pemain trompet dan pejabat asing.

The day might have belonged to the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but the supporting cast were almost as gripping, and none of them more so than the members of what is fast becoming Britain’s most famous and fascinating family.
Middleton-watchers were amply rewarded with a spectacle of nerves, tans, dignity, surprising outfits and sex appeal (yes, that refers to you, Miss Philippa Middleton!).
Indeed, you could even say that the Westminster Abbey Show felt just as much Bucklebury (the Berkshire village where the Middletons live) as it did Buckingham Palace — despite all the trumpeters and foreign dignitaries.

James Middleton: He took part in the only reading at the abbey

The Duchess of Cambridge's uncle Gary, right, went pretty much unnoticed while her brother, James was given a starring role with the only person to give a reading during the wedding service at Westminster Abbey

For that we can thank the lively nature of that close-knit, party-loving Home Counties family.
Even the trees lining the Abbey aisle seemed to be a reminder of the oak-lined avenue that leads through Bucklebury to the Middleton manse. They served like lights on a runway to guide the Middletons to take-off as the family became linked for ever to the British monarchy.

WHO'S WHO: MEET THE BRIDESMAIDS AND PAGE BOYS

Semua anak memiliki hubungan dekat dengan pasangan Royal - terutama William.
Lady Louise Windsor, tujuh, adalah putri dari Edward dan Sophie, Count dan Countess of Wessex, membuat Pangeran sepupunya.

Billy adalah putra sekretaris pribadi William, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.
Tom adalah putra mantan pengasuh Tiggy William Legge-Bourke dan suaminya Charles Pettifer.
Namun Middletons di luar yang berlaku, itu harus berkata, hanya membuat segalanya tampak menyenangkan besar.
Untuk royalis, penggemar Disney, romantis dan gadis-gadis muda, pengantin yang menjadi Putri di depan mata kita dan laki-laki pintar dia adalah pahlawan saja dan pahlawan.
Tapi tepat di ekor mereka dalam hal muda, glamor dan kegembiraan penonton adalah Duchess baru luar biasa licik adik Philippa, atau dikenal sebagai Pippa.
Tentu saja, di antara banyak laki-laki merah-berdarah, dan di Twitter situs jaringan sosial, Pippa itu, jelas-jelas 'Itu'.
Dalam beberapa menit kedatangan nya, Miss Middleton muda hampir jatuh situs Twitter sebagai ribuan pengamat pernikahan tweeted dalam memuji antusias dari Her Royal Popularitas.
Perencana pesta 27 tahun itu terutama lebih gelap dari kakaknya dan mencari lebih-lebih karena, sangat luar biasa untuk pengiring pengantin, ia juga memakai putih.
'Dia kayu mahoni dalam warna, "kata salah seorang tamu,' tapi benar-benar cantik. Dia tampak luar biasa. "
rok Slinky nya, seperti kakaknya, oleh Sarah Burton pada Alexander McQueen, terbuat dari 'berat, gading krep, satin' dan sported dengan bordir yang sama dan tombol sebagai pakaian kakaknya, tetapi lengan menangkup muda, sebuah kerudung mengejutkan rendah leher - untuk biara - dan saran yang dihasilkan dari belahan dada.
Banyak wanita akan sangat senang mengenakan gaun Pippa itu sendiri sebagai sebuah gaun pengantin. Satu wit berkata: "Ini akan tampak sangat baik untuk sebuah upacara pantai untuk pernikahan suatu tempat seperti Ibiza."

Pihak pengantin: Pelayan-of-kehormatan berpegangan tangan dua pengiring pengantin termuda 'saat mereka memasuki Abbey

Pippa memakai setengah rambutnya-up dan setengah-down, dipotong dengan bunga lily-of-the-lembah di belakang, dan dia berjalan ke Abbey berseri-seri, memegang tangan kedua pengiring pengantin terkecil, Grace van Cutsem dan Eliza Lopes (baik tiga umur), memiliki teliti menegakkan kereta kakaknya.

Orang tuanya telah memberinya sepasang anting-anting berlian bunga sebagai hadiah, dirancang, seperti kakaknya, oleh Robinson Pelham (yang kreatif sutradara Zoe Benyon adalah seorang tamu pernikahan dan yang menikah dengan lokal Richard Middletons 'MP Benyon).

Pippa executed her duties (holding and passing the bouquet, smoothing the train, shepherding pages and bridesmaids up and down and making sure none of them got left behind) beautifully. But her efficiency wasn’t necessarily the focus.
Many women admired her dress, but an army of male fans were happily distracted by her shapely rear as the procession went up the aisle.
It certainly seemed that Prince Harry was smitten as he walked back down the aisle with her, sharing some piece of jolly mischief.
Though by the time they came out on to the Buckingham Palace balcony he had his grandfather the Duke of Edinburgh to compete with, as the duke indulged in a little light jokey flirting, discovering his sense of humour for the maid-of-honour’s benefit. (And why should the fact that he’s nearly 90 stop him sharing banter with such an adept bridesmaid?)
For many, it became irresistible to indulge in a little what-if speculation about the idea of Harry and Pippa enjoying themselves late into the night on the dance floor under the mirror balls in the Throne Room . . . Chelsy, if she is still interested, had better reveal her hand now.
The other Middleton sibling, brother James, the third acorn on the family crest (is he now sporting a brand new signet ring on his pinkie, emblazoned with it?) had an equally key role, being — unusually — the only lay speaker, and definitely the only one without a bushy grey beard.
The 23-year-old Cake Kit entrepreneur and wannabe Richard Branson also looked as if he’d had a close encounter with a Fake Bake spray gun (though rumours that a company had set up a booth for the family the night before in The Goring Hotel were quickly denied).
He arrived with his mother in a Jaguar and escorted her down the aisle. But his starring moment came when he read the lesson from Romans Chapter 12.

Doting sister: Pippa carries Kate's train as she enters Westminster Abbey with her father, Michael Middleton

Moment in the spotlight: Pippa then proudly carried her newly-married sister's train out of the Abbey after the wedding, before helping her into a waiting horse-drawn carriage

Moment dalam sorotan: Pippa kemudian bangga dilakukan melatih adiknya yang baru menikah tentang Abbey setelah pernikahan, sebelum membantu dia menjadi menunggu kereta kuda

Cerdas dan sedikit flamboyan mengenakan mantel ekor, rompi kuning pucat, kemeja biru dengan kerah putih dan dasi ungu (dengan olahraga pin dasi bahwa motif oak di mana-mana), ia tidak tersenyum banyak, tapi dia mendapatkan semua kata-katanya tanpa sebuah tersandung tunggal dan tampaknya tahu semua ini dengan hati.

Jika ada, orang tua Middleton tampak lebih gugup daripada anak-anak mereka. Satu kali penerbangan dispatcher Michael Middleton ('Apa hari untuk anak Yorkshire seorang pilot maskapai penerbangan!' seorang komentator BBC mengumumkan mem-bantu) tidak pernah tampak seperti orang yang relishes perhatian dan tampak kurang dari santai tentang pengirim putrinya sulung ke Windsor keluarga.

Tapi seperti ayah bangga menyerahkan putrinya, ia adalah pemandangan menyentuh. Ia terlihat meyakinkan Kate: "Apakah Anda siap? Kau tampak hebat. "

Membantu tangan: pria Terbaik Pangeran Harry didukung Pippa dalam tugasnya, mengurus sepupunya tujuh tahun, Lady Louise Windsor dalam prosesi ke Istana Buckingham

Dia mencengkeram tangannya erat di altar sampai ia menyerahkannya pada Pangeran William ketika ia memberinya pergi.

Pada saat mana ia tampak agak lega karena telah mendapat bagian utama dari perannya keluar dari jalan. Satu harapan seseorang memberinya segelas tergesa-gesa sesuatu posting kuat di Istana.

Tapi bantuan terbesar dari semua pasti bahwa keluarga domba hitam, Paman Gary, mantan pecandu kokain dan pemilik istana Ibiza Le Maison de Bang Bang, hampir tidak terlihat.

Meskipun terlihat meninggalkan deretan kandang kuda itu datar dalam £ 280.000 nya Rolls-Royce, tato penuh tertutup kemeja merah muda dan sedikit abu-abu ekor mantel aneh dengan rompi abu-abu - tan baru dikuras diambil dari Pantai Electric di hari-hari sebelum pernikahan - tidak ada yang melihat dia pergi ke dalam Abbey sebagai dunia itu terganggu oleh parade fashion.

Dan untuk brand image keluarga Middleton, yang hanya bisa menjadi hal yang baik.
