Kate Middleton - the girl who met her handsome prince, became a member of the royal family and one of the most famous beauties in the world who never left the pages of the tabloids. However, this was not always the case, and for many years she was not at all considered the brightest star in her family, recalls "Radio KP".
There has always been a rivalry between Kate and her younger sister, according to royal experts and sources close to the Middleton family. And, as a rule, it was not Kate, who was timid in her youth, who won, but the sociable, ambitious and popular Pippa since childhood.
Back in 2008, long before Kate's wedding with the prince, it was Pippa who was recognized as the most enviable bride in the high society of Great Britain. And, by the way, of the two, it was the younger sister who was always much more ambitious.
“Kate was jealous of Pippa - in fact, I think Kate was afraid that she would outshine her a little. The two sisters are very close, but there has always been a sense of rivalry between them. Probably, and now there is, "- said a family friend.

By the way, no matter how incredible it may seem, Pippa managed to really outshine her older sister in some way right at Kate's wedding with the prince.
First of all, many paid attention to Pippa's dress. At her sister's wedding, she was not in the usual pink for bridesmaids or, say, lilac. She put on a snow-white dress to the floor, and even a tight-fitting silhouette, which immediately drew attention to her and made her compare her with the bride.
In addition, although it was the wedding of the second heir to the throne and the future queen consort, it was to Pippa that the maximum attention was riveted and it was she who made many headlines: the media discussed the possibility of her romance with the best man, then unmarried Prince Harry.

According to sources close to the family, Pippa really wanted to get a groom with a title and a fortune.
Now sister Kate Middleton is married and has a child. She writes magazine columns and even became the author of a book.
By the way, Kate was much more modest at her wedding. She was wearing a completely traditional pale pink bridesmaid outfit that did not pretend to try to outshine the bride.
