Pippa Middleton Turns Heads With New Look in Rare Public Appearance

Pippa Middleton is embracing the summer season.

Kate Middleton’s sister, James Matthews’ wife, sported a new, shorter, and lighter bob hairstyle at the British Grand Prix on July 6. She was accompanied by him.

Stepping away from my traditional dark brown, long bob for the Royal Family’s Christmas festivities last December, I recently opted for a more edgy, shorter style. This fresh new look features a chiseled, lighter brown hue all over.

For this special event, Pippa—mother of Arthur (age 6), Grace (4) and Rose (3) along with James—chose a cropped, earthy-brown suede jacket and fashionable sunglasses to complement a long, white gown. She completed her ensemble with wedge espadrilles, a brown shoulder bag, and a handy umbrella, neatly tucking her short hair behind her ears.

Pippa’s visit to the Formula 1 race at Silverstone was her first public outing in seven months. She previously attended a Christmas service at Westminster Abbey with Kate and their sibling, James Middleton, back then.

Whenever I’m fortunate enough to catch glimpses of Pippa out in the world, she’s usually standing side by side with her esteemed sister, particularly since Kate bravely revealed her cancer diagnosis. Just before Christmas, I last spotted Pippa cheering on a match at Wimbledon alongside Kate and Princess Charlotte, their precious 10-year-old daughter, in July of 2024, with Prince William by their side.

Ever since revealing her health status in March 2024, Kate has occasionally kept the public informed about her wellbeing.

More recently, the 43-year-old has disclosed details about the time following her treatment completion in September.

She expressed, as reported by People, during her visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex on July 2, that she wore a strong facade throughout treatment. “Once the treatment is over, it’s like, ‘I can move forward, return to normal,’ but in reality, the period following is incredibly challenging.

Kate, who is not only a mother to Prince George, aged 11, and Prince Louis, aged 7, together with William, emphasized the necessity of ongoing assistance following the conclusion of treatment, as this period can significantly impact an individual’s mental well-being.

She said, ‘Though you’re no longer under the care of the clinical team, it seems you’re struggling to carry on with your daily life at home as you once did. I believe having someone to converse with, guide, and support you during this post-treatment phase would be extremely beneficial.’

After all, healing—both physical and mental—isn’t linear.

In my experience, adjusting to a new normal isn’t an instant process; it requires patience and time. It’s more like riding a turbulent roller coaster than gliding smoothly down a straight track. The harsh truth is that challenging periods are inevitable along the way.

Approximately a year following the High Court’s rejection of further protective measures via the Royal and VIP Executive Committee, Prince Harry’s legal battle concluded on May 2 as the court dismissed his case.

After Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as active members of the royal family in 2021 and relocated to the United States, their security level decreased. Subsequently, during his visits to the UK, Harry has made requests for additional security.

Prince Harry expressed deep sadness on BBC’s May 2 broadcast, saying he was “shattered” over the outcome of his court case. Moreover, he underscored that under current circumstances, it seems unlikely for him to return to the United Kingdom with his wife and children at present.

Prince Harry, father of Archie and Lilibet, expressed a desire to rebuild relationships within his family. However, the initiative for this reconciliation seems to lie with his father.

He expressed, “At this moment, it seems unlikely that I’ll return to the U.K. with my wife and kids, which is truly disappointing. I had hoped to introduce my children to the place I call home.

Harry commented that his father has a great deal of power and skill to handle things; he suggested that if left to his own devices, this situation could be resolved. This doesn’t mean interfering, but rather giving the professionals the freedom to take the appropriate actions and continue with their work.

Even after many years of disagreement, he’s now raising a truce flag, hoping for harmony. Moreover, he mentioned, “Life is valuable, I’m unsure how much more time my father has left.

Approximately a year following when King Charles III revealed his cancer diagnosis, he penned on April 29th that his health journey and cancer treatment have made him acutely aware of the most remarkable aspects of human kindness.

For every diagnosis or new case, it’s a challenging and sometimes terrifying journey for both individuals and their families, Charles noted in the guidebook for the event offering resources to cancer patients. Yet, as someone who is part of those numbers, I can testify that this journey can also reveal the most compassionate aspects of humanity.

Besides expressing gratitude to the healthcare professionals who aided him during his ordeal, he also emphasized that their work had instilled in him an even greater admiration for the exceptional efforts made by the outstanding institutions and individuals present at this event. Over the years, he has interacted with many of them, visiting their facilities and offering support.

For the second year in a row, their absence was noticeable during Easter celebrations, as the 2024 festivities fell a week following the announcement of the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis.

On the 15th of April, I proudly stepped into my new role as CEO for Prince William’s esteemed organization, The Earthshot Prize. In a statement posted on their website, I expressed my excitement about collaborating with an exceptional team and engaging with the inspiring Earthshot community.

Approximately seven years following his initial complaint, he was promoted. This complaint was made against Meghan Markle, who was accused of bullying two assistants and attempting to discredit a third staff member by undermining them.

Craker was present when the boys found out that their mother, Princess Diana, had passed away, and he took part in the funeral ceremonies for her.

In 2017, Craker shared with The New York Post that he was positioned at the back of the hearse. At that moment, William glanced up and acknowledged him. Craker then returned the gesture and nodded. It was evident that William found comfort in knowing that Craker was accompanying his mother on her last journey.

On January 22, the Duke of Sussex came to an agreement with News Group Newspapers (publishers of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World) after filing a lawsuit against them in 2019. The lawsuit was over alleged illegal activities by journalists and private investigators employed by these newspapers, who were accused of gathering information on the royal family in an unlawful manner.

In my expert opinion, the agreement encompassed a significant compensation, along with an unreserved apology and public acknowledgment of the widespread coverage and profound invasion into Harry’s privacy, as well as that of the late Princess Diana, for which I express deep regret and respect for their private lives.

On January 7th, she posted on Instagram, “I’ve shed so many tears I can’t count – the kind that make you long to step into a shower in the hope that the water streaming down your face might magically erase them or make them seem unreal. Yet, they persist. And that’s alright as well.
