Pippa Middleton, sister of Kate, weds as English royalty and stars look on

ENGLEFIELD, ENGLAND — Two likely future Briti sh k i n g s were t h e r e , a l o n g wi t h o n e o f t h e worl d’s most-photographed women, the often-adorable Prince Harry, a multilingual tennis legend and a brash TV reality star.

But all eyes were on Pippa Middleton on Saturday as she walked down the aisle of a 12th-century church wearing a custom, hand-embroidered gown with a tiara and long veil to marry hedge fund manager James Matthews.

Reporters, photographers and camera crews invaded the small village of Englefield west of London, home to St. Mark’s Church, and nearby Bucklebury, where a lavish reception was held Saturday night at the estate of the bride’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton.

Middleton, 33, is not royalty. But she is the sister of Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, and the star-studded wedding took on some aspects of a royal wedding, with well-wishers gathering outside the church grounds hoping for a glimpse.

Pippa Middleton arrived in a vintage Jaguar to enter the church on the arm of her father.

Her o l d e r s i s t e r — t h e Duchess of Cambridge — looked after the page boys and bridesmaids, who were all under 5 and included her own children, Prince George, 3, and Princess Charlotte, 2.

William and Prince Harry, decked out in formal morning suits, seemed relaxed as they strolled into the church and were greeted by the groom’s well-known brother, Spencer Matthews, a star on the TV show “Made in Chelsea.”

The new couple emerged from the church an hour later. The children dropped flower petals in their path before the couple celebrated their union with a kiss. Then it was off for champagne and, later, a short spin in a different Jaguar.

Ingrid Seward, editor of Majesty Magazine, said the Middletons could take pleasure in the day: Their first daughter, Kate, had married a future king, and their second daughter, P ippa, had married an extremely wealthy, charming and handsome man. “You can’t do better than that,” she said.

Roger Federer and hi s wife, Mirka, were among the guests.
