Here are some new photos of Pippa Middleton, back in London after a whirlwind trip to Madrid with her ex-boyfriend, George Percy. She allegedly had a boyfriend named Alex Loudon, but she hasn’t been spotted with him since her sister’s wedding. Some think that Pippa and George, the son of the Duke of Northumberland, are just “friends” after their breakup several years ago. I tend to think that she’s probably “on a break” with Alex and seeing if she can upgrade to someone richer, with a title. More on this in a moment. What I really want to talk about is Pippa’s faux Canadian tuxedo. When CB and I were first looking at these pics, we thought she was wearing full-on denim, but now I think the blouse is just cotton gauze or linen, and it unfortunately looks exactly like her light-wash, tapered jeans. The whole combo is very… I don’t know?… dated, I guess. Pippa looks like The Preppie’s Girlfriend in an ‘80s teen film. Here’s a little bit more from Us Weekly:
At least one of the famous Middleton sisters is back on home turf.
Pippa Middleton stepped out in London on Thursday — and turned heads yet again. This time, the 27-year-old socialite and entrepreneur kept it super-casual but sexy-chic in a pair of skintight, light-blue jeans, paired with a sleeveless top in a matching hue. Also causing comment was her lunch companion at eatery Casa Brindisa: George Percy, whom she dated back at Edinburgh University.
The son of the Duke of Northumberland (one of the richest men in England), Percy, 26, accompanied Pippa and her pals for a weekend romp in Madrid, Spain. The duo have reportedly been pals for over 10 years. Middleton’s current beau of one year, Alex Loudon, stayed behind in London.
(Middleton’s big sister Duchess Kate, 29, is currently wrapping up a reportedly $720,000 honeymoon on the Seychelles’ North Island with hubby Prince William.)
How does Pippa keep that suddenly-famous bod in shape, anyway? Pilates!
“Over the past few months I have noticed a huge difference in my core strength and posture,” she wrote of her fave studio at London’s Parson’s Green near her flat. “From breathing techniques, muscle toning to overall flexibility and relaxation, my Pilates sessions have become something of a weekly necessity that keeps me fit, happy and energized.”

Regarding my previous post where I referred to the House of Northumberland as “royal” – yeah, I was wrong. I was just thinking “duke, duchess, royal,” but many of you were right, the duchy of Northumberland is “aristocracy” and a member of the peerage, but not royal. I looked up the house on Wikipedia and I found that George Percy is really The Earl Percy, because he’s the firstborn son and heir to the current Duke of Northumberland. God, I love British sh-t. I could look up peerages all day and be quite happy. Anyway, if Pippa got with George right now, before he becomes a Duke, Pippa would be Lady Percy, and then later, the Duchess of Northumberland. And I do think Pippa is going to try to make this or something like this happen. Pippa wants a title. Maybe she won’t get to be a princess, but she may get to be a duchess.
