Pippa Middleton is engaged!

Her Royal Hotness is officially off the market!

The world’s most famous bridesmaid is set to walk down the aisle for her very own wedding.

The Daily Mail reports Pippa Middleton is officially off the market after her boyfriend James Matthews popped the question.

James reportedly got down on one knee during a weekend escape to the Lake District recently, with the pair planning to wed in a lavish ceremony in the UK next year.

Pippa, who was Kate’s maid of honour, is likely to return the favour, bestowing the role of chief bridesmaid on her older sister.

The report also claims James, 40, asked Pippa’s father Michael Middleton for her hand in marriage.

“James is a traditionalist and very much wanted to do things properly. That meant getting his future father in law’s consent,” an insider tells.

Apparently the proposal caught the 32-year-old off guard and she is over the moon.

The younger sister of Kate Middleton did little to dispel the engagement rumours when she stepped out at the Frost Family Summer Party in London on Monday evening expertly hiding her left hand.
