Love match is still on: Pippa Middleton ends speculation of a break-up as she and boyfriend Alex Loudon arrive at Wimbledon

Still going strong: Pippa Middleton and boyfriend Alex Loudon arrive together at Wimbledon


Speculation has been rife for weeks that Royal bridesmaid Pippa Middleton had answered the prayers of millions of fans and is back on the market.

But the Duchess of Cambridge's sister dismissed the rumours and proved that she is still with boyfriend Alex Loudon today.

The couple, who have been dating for almost a year, arrived hand-in-hand at Wimbledon, looking very much a couple.


Dressed to impress: While Pippa shone in her red dress, Alex looked smart in a pair of beige trousers, navy blazer and blue and white striped tie


Pippa looked bright and summery in a tomato red Hobbs NW3 Wyldes dress, which she teamed with tan espadrille wedges and matching Modalu bag.

Bizarrely, the 27-year-old was spotted doing some last-minute shoe shopping yesterday in the exact same dress she wore today.

And, given that Pippa's sister Kate is flying out to Canada today, Pippa was able to take centre stage at Centre Court where she watched Roger Federer play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.


On sale now: Fashion fans will be happy to know that Pippa's Hobbs NW3 dress is available to buy for £89, down from £129


Happy as ever: The couple were rumoured to have split recently after Pippa was seen in the company of a number of other men


Family day out: Pippa and Alex sat with her parents Michael and Carole watch the match


Fans of the fashionable Middleton sister will be pleased to know that, like Kate's Alice Temperley dress on Monday, Pippa's frock is now on sale for £89, down from £129.

The outfit also got the thumbs up from stars including Dannii Minogue, who tweeted: 'Whoop #WeLove Pippa Middleton's red dress @Wimbledon today. Tres chic!'
Former cricketer Alex, 30, looked smart in a blazer and tie for their day of VIP treatment at the tennis.

Pippa's mother Carole also joined the couple at Wimbledon, wearing a white summer dress with a bright pink and purple floral design.

Pippa, sporting her trademark deep tan, styled her hair in Kate's favourite loose waves.

A relative of Alex's told the Mail on Sunday earlier this month that the rumours that Pippa and Alex were on the rocks were 'completely untrue.'

Smiles all round: Carole, Pippa and Alex all appeared to be in good spirits as they watched the match


Speculation over a split started when Pippa was spotted enjoying a mini-break in Madrid in May with old flame and former flatmate at Edinburgh University, George Percy.

This month Pippa attended a wedding without Alex, and was then spotted giggling with George as they watched tennis at the Queen's Club in West London, before enjoying dinner together.

They returned to George's London house and, after hugging each other goodnight, Pippa was seen leaving shortly after 2am.

But a university contemporary said: 'Pippa and George are friends, but that is all. Pippa doesn't fancy George, she's very into Alex.

'Alex is the nicest chap you could meet. He's incredibly sweet, loyal and adores Pippa, but they make a point of seeing each other very privately and don't go to flash places.'

Other celebrities spotted at the tennis today included Vogue editor Anna Wintour, a close friend of Roger Federer, and Amanda Holden.
