Pippa Middleton visits Madrid

PIPPA MIDDLETON visited Madrid, coinciding with the San Isidro festivities. The Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister was accompanied by three girlfriends and her old flame George Percy, but there was no sign of her city trader fiancé Alex Loudon. Her ex-boyfriend is the 26-year-old son of the Duke of Northumberland, one of the richest men in the UK.

They have been friends for nearly 10 years and were flat-mates at Edinburgh University.

She was spotted carrying a bottle of champagne in a red bag on her way to party with her friends at one of Madrid’s most exclusive nightclubs, Fortuny.

The next morning she emerged looking none-the-less for wear in a strapless black-and-white spotted sundress with a tourist map in hand, leading her friends on a shopping and sightseeing trip.
