Pipple Middle has been considered one of the most eligible women in the world, due in part to the big impression she left on everyone at her sister’s royal wedding in April.  One of the guys she dated earlier was Alex Loudon who is a banker.  They had split up in November though so she was eligible once again.

Pippa and George initially met in 2008 while there were attending Edinburgh University.  It is said that they had a bit of a fling together their senior year while at the University together.   Despite what others were saying at the time, they both insisted that there were both “just friends.”

Once New Years rolled around, they started an official romantic relationship.  One source mentions that she was at a dinner with him and was hanging onto him the entire night.    Eventually she made her move.   The two are now in a serious romantic relationship and it’s reported that George Percy is very much in love with her.

George Percy is heir to the Duke of Northumberland, which is one of the richest and grandest titles in Britain.  When he was a boy, he even served as one of the pages to the queen.  His family owns an impressive estate which is valued to be worth over $500 million.  They also own Alnwick Castle which is well known to many Americans for the role it played as the setting for Hogwart’s School for the Harry Potter movies.

George currently is in charge of a renewable energy business.  Because of his royal pedigree he will be guaranteed an income of almost $400,000 per year.  This is the result of him being the beneficiary of a very impressive trust fund.
