But now as she prepares to marry Spencer Matthews’ brother James in May, the blushing bride-to -be is intent on the same thing not happening to her.
And fair enough – it’s her big day!
According to whispers she has come up with a cunning plan to ensure that Prince Harry’s glam new squeeze Meghan Markle cannot overshadow her on her big day – by having her cut from the guest list!
Pippa is planning to employ the infamous ‘no ring, no bring’ rule and has supposedly told friends she’ll only allow guests a plus one if they are married or engaged to their partner.
Of course, at this present time, Meghan and Harry are neither.
Last week the smitten pair attracted a lot of attention when they attended the wedding of friend Tom ‘Skippy’ Inskip and Lara Hughes-Young.
And all the attention made Pippa start to worry.
“[Pippa] saw how all eyes were on Meghan rather than Lara,” a friend apparently told The Mail On Sunday. “The situation was also stressful for Harry. Pippa and her mother Carole wonder whether Meghan’s presence could cause a great deal of unnecessary chaos.”
Pippa and James’s wedding is due to take place in a private church in Berkshire, followed by a reception at the Middleton home nearby.
