Pippa Middleton Scandal

Pippa Middleton Scandal

Philippa Charlotte “Pippa” Middleton (born 6 September 1983) is the only sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. A party organiser, she is well known because of her sister and through the reporting of society news. On 29 April 2011, she was the maid of honour at her sister’s Royal wedding, which she helped to organise. Her role in the televised wedding resulted in widespread media coverage and public admiration for her dress and appearance

Now the world has some idea what Pippa Middleton’s form-fitting royal wedding gown was hiding.
A photo has emerged of Middleton wearing a bra and a skirt while dancing with a man wearing only boxers.
It’s unclear when the photo was taken.


Middleton isn’t the only one in her family who has had a photo scandal. Semi-nude photos of her brother James also have appeared.
After Pippa Middleton appeared last week at her sister Kate’s wedding to Prince William in the white gown, mesmerizing the male half of the 2 billion people watching around the world, social networking sites immediately went wild for her.

Evolution of the Royal Wedding Dress

These Historic Gowns Weren't Just Fashion Statements
Royal Wedding Dress as Symbol
Until Friday morning, probably the biggest mystery surrounding the latest British royal wedding was who designed Kate Middleton's wedding dress.

But when the future Queen Elizabeth II (pictured) walked down the aisle in London's Westminster Abbey in 1947, her wedding dress was more than a fashion statement: It represented the hopes of a nation, according to royal wedding gown curator Joanna Marschner.

With food and clothing still being rationed in postwar Britain, royal dressmaker Norman Hartnell sought to convey a message of national renewal, instead of focusing on opulent materials. He did this in part by embroidering the gown with garlands of spring flowers.

"It is a dress with a message for that particular moment in time," said Marschner, of Historic Royal Palaces, an independent charity that acts as caretaker for five British royal buildings.

"I think you can say that about all the royal wedding dresses—they have become amazing documents that can say a lot about the year when they were worn."

After a kiss that thrilled the nation, Prince William drove full throttle into the nation's affections as he took his new wife on an unexpected drive to Clarence House.
They left their Buckingham Palace reception in Prince Charles's open-top Aston Martin with 'Just wed' on the number plate.
It was the fitting climax to what had already been a remarkable day - and it was the common touch his mother Diana would have been proud of.
As the crowds roared, the couple emerged in the 38-year-old classic car with a yellow RAF rescue helicopter flying overhead.
The vehicle had been given to Charles as a gift when he turned 21. The couple drove round the front of the Palace before returning to the private reception.
They emerged from the Palace two hours after stepping out on the balcony and marked their marriage with their first public kiss.
But the first public embrace of William and his bride Catherine was so fleeting that you would have missed it if you had blinked.

Royal insiders have called Kate Middleton, with her grace and sporty elegance, "a natural" as Prince William's princess bride-to-be.
The captivating brunette may not come from royalty, but she does have good breeding – her father is a self-made millionaire and she attended the prestigious and pricey private boarding school Marlborough College. After excelling at field hockey and cross-country running, Middleton studied art history at University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she took William off the market in 2002.

After an eight-year fairy tale romance, William proposed to Middleton with his late mother's engagement ring. The couple plans to wed in London on April 29, 2011.

It was the LBD worth a thousand words—in 1994, just as a documentary regarding her husband's infidelities was airing, a lithe and leggy Princess Diana strolled into a Serpentine Gallery benefit wearing a figure-hugging ruched minidress from Greek designer Christina Stambolian. The next day, every front page was devoted not to the Prince of Wales's televised confession, but to images of the glowing, confident 32-year-old Diana. Ever mindful of the power of fashion, three years later she auctioned off 79 of her favorite gowns at a Christie's auction that raised $6 million for AIDS and breast cancer charities.

On his Facebook page, Reilly wrote how he felt insulted by Kate when she and Prince William drove past him last month.

With an estimated 1.5 million Royal Wedding watchers expected to converge on London on Friday, not everyone will be able to find a space along the route.
The best spots will fill by dawn, or even the night before – thousands of people are due to camp out. Good vantage points include the steps under the Duke of York Column in Carlton House Terrace and the pavements by Admiralty Arch.
Much of the crowd is expected to head instead for Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square, where giant screens will show live coverage of the ceremony. A 196ft-high ‘London Eye-style’ observation wheel has been erected in the park, which can be ridden from 7am on the day.
Both venues promise a carnival atmosphere, with food and drinks stalls, including licensed bars, to keep the ‘extended wedding guests’ refreshed.
Other places where big screens will be erected include Clapham Common, which is turning into a campsite the night before, Southbank Centre Square and Battersea High Street, where there will be a huge street party with food stalls.

Royal wedding: seating plan reveals intimate ceremony

Royal wedding: seating plan reveals intimate ceremony
The eyes of the world will be on Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday, but the layout of Westminster Abbey will ensure an intimate feel for the moment they make their vows.
A seating plan released ahead of the royal wedding ceremony has revealed that only the couple's nearest and dearest will be able to witness the wedding ceremony for themselves.

More than 1,000 of those in the Abbey will have to rely upon video screens to follow the service.

Prince William and Kate Middleton chose the Abbey for its intimacy despite its size, as well as its 1,000-year Royal history and majestic beauty.

About 1,000 people will sit in the section of the Abbey in front of the Quire, a partition in the building which restricts the view of the altar to anyone behind it, giving it the feel of a large parish church.
One tradition Prince William and Miss Middleton appear to have eschewed is having a bride's side and a groom's side.

Members of the Spencer family, relatives of Prince William's mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, will sit next to the Middletons. Friends of the Middleton family will sit on the other side of the Abbey away from the Royal Family.

The Queen and other members of the Royal Family will sit in the North Lantern across the aisle from the Middleton family, who will be in the South Lantern. They will be the closest to the Sanctuary, where William and Miss Middleton will stand.
