IT WAS the day Royal Maid of Honour Pippa Middleton dazzled the world in a dress that left very little to the imagination ... but it emerged that she may have kept something secret after all.
For it seems that Carole and Michael's second daughter is engaged in all but name to her City broker boyfriend Alex Loudon.
The couple have stayed silent about the future of their relationship for fear of detracting attention from William and Kate.
If rumours of an official announcement later this year are true, they will cause widespread disappointment, for it seems that in the wake of "That Dress", Pippa could have her pick of suitors.
The sensational fluid white column made by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen was an unusual choice both for its bridal colour and its curve-enhancing cling.
In an act of sisterly generosity, Kate must have sanctioned it in the full knowledge that it would showcase Pippa's fabulous figure, deep tan and glossy hair to perfection on the world stage.
