(LONDON) -- When Kate Middleton stands at the altar of Westminster Abbey
April 29, little sister Pippa will be by her side, as she so often is.
But
Middleton's maid of honor has a slightly different reputation from her
sister. "Pippa has a reputation as being the really fun one, slightly
louder and more outgoing than Kate," Tatler magazine editor Catherine Ostler said. "Possibly slightly naughtier."
"To
a certain section of British men, she's become the most eligible girl
in England," Ostler said. "At parties, people are always terribly keen
on talking to Pippa. And she has a magnetic effect on men."
But
she's taken. The youngest Middleton sister is dating a young English
gent: a square-jawed, well-heeled pro cricketer-turned-businessman.
"She's a Chelsea party girl, almost to the extreme," Ostler said.
It is her job, after all. Pippa Middleton, 27, launched The Party Times, an online party magazine.
Pippa
Middleton (short for Philippa) is in the thick of the royal posse. She
is often photographed with the young royal set: Princesses Beatrice and
Eugenie, and Prince Harry's on-off girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
What's unclear is whether the queen will bestow a title on her after her sister marries a prince.
For
now, though, she's a dedicated maid of honor. She's also apparently her
big sister's gym buddy, as they both get in shape for the big day.
