Fresh-faced Pippa shows off her primary school chic!

THE DUCHESS of Cambridge never steps out in public with so much as a hair out of place, but her younger sister Pippa Middleton has much more freedom to express herself.

The 34-year-old, who lives in a £17 million Chelsea townhouse with her hedgefund manager husband James Matthews, went out cycling with less make-up than usual and pulled her hair into a ponytail.

Meeting a friend for lunch at the South Kensington Club, she was wearing a £286 Intropia jacket complete with red stitching, which looked more like a school uniform than a garment belonging to an inveterate London socialite.

When the 2nd earl of Snowdon, professionally known as David Linley, is not in London or at his home in France, he likes to spend some time in the Cotswolds — where he lives by a very firm rule. ‘never bring an umbrella to the country,’ he advises. ‘Wear a tweed cap.’

AFTER marrying into the Royal Family, Mike Tindall declared it was ‘important’ that he and his wife, the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips, earned their own money, saying: ‘It annoys me when people think we get handed things on a plate, because we don’t.’

And the former England rugby captain, who now works as a sports pundit, has shown he is as good as his word not to live off taxpayers.

Newly published accounts for Kimble Trading, into which he channels his earnings, disclose shareholder funds of £537,369, up £131,599 on 2016.
