When Kate Middleton Becomes Queen, Will Her Sister Pippa Middleton Get a Royal Title of Her Own?

Poignantly, the Princess of Wales chose to bring her younger sister to Wimbledon last month — which marked only her second public appearance of 2024

Kate Middleton’s younger sister Pippa Middleton has long been known to be one of the Princess of Wales’ closest confidantes, but could she one day have a royal title of her own?

Pippa burst onto the global scene in 2011, when she famously served as her sister’s maid of honor at Kate’s April 29 wedding to Prince William. As recently as last month, Pippa joined both her sister, Kate, and her niece, Princess Charlotte, at Wimbledon on July 14, marking Princess Kate’s second public appearance of 2024. (Her first was the month prior when she joined the rest of the royal family at June 15’s Trooping the Colour.)

As the Princess of Wales continues to receive treatment for cancer, Pippa, along with her parents Michael and Carole Middleton and their younger brother James, have been “the real anchors in her life,” royal biographer Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight. “While you certainly don’t see them photographed together very often, they are very much there in the background,” she added. “They are absolutely fundamental.”

While Queen Camilla’s own sister Annabel Elliot isn’t one of her designated “companions” — the more modern term for “lady-in-waiting” adopted by the former Duchess of Cornwall when she became Queen, according to the BBC — Elliot did serve as one of the royal’s two ladies in attendance at her coronation alongside husband King Charles in May 2023.

When Kate becomes queen someday, will Pippa become one of Kate’s companions? It remains to be seen, but, according to Hello!, “it would be unprecedented for Pippa to receive a title simply because her sister is queen consort” — but, like Elliot, a role like a lady-in-attendance or companion could be in Pippa’s future.
