Carole Middleton Steps Out With James, Kate Middleton; Where Is Pippa?

Carole Middleton was recently spotted hanging out with two of her three children.

The doting grandmother attended Sophie Carter and Robert Snuggs’ wedding at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Norfolk last weekend. Kate Middleton brought her two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, along with her. James Middleton was also present at the nuptials.

But Pippa Middleton was noticeably absent from the gathering. Paul Offord, a journalist for Express, noted that Pippa is heavily pregnant at the moment since she’s expected to give birth next month. This may be the reason why she decided to skip her friend’s wedding.

The tennis enthusiast was last seen in public last week at the unveiling of a new sculpture at a school for deaf children. At that time, she was wearing a navy polka dot jumpsuit.

Pippa teamed up with Sophie Ryder, a sculptor, to sell 50 limited-edition bronze hare sculptures to help raise money to build a brand new primary school for deaf children. The soon-to-be mom said that his move reflected a change in her usual approach to fundraising since she is expecting her first child.

“Typically, I would opt for a sporting challenge to raise money but being pregnant this was a little harder to achieve,” she said.

Pippa, who has a very active lifestyle even during her pregnancy, revealed that she still practiced yoga and swimming, exercised regularly while she’s pregnant.

“From personal experience, I’d confidently say I find it has been the most enjoyable and rewarding form of exercise since I found out I was expecting. It’s comforting to know that it’s safe throughout pregnancy, and you don’t need to adapt and change too much (unlike most other sports). It’s so good for you that you could swim every day – as long as you don’t overexert yourself – right up until the end of the third trimester,” she wrote for Waitrose Kitchen (via People).

Pippa’s son or daughter will be Carole’s fourth grandchild after Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
