Who’s on Pippa Middleton’s wedding blacklist?
PIPPA Middleton famously upstaged Kate at her wedding, now she’s reportedly laid down ground rules for her own wedding so it doesn’t happen to her.
PIPPA Middleton has banned reality TV star Vogue Williams from her wedding — even though she’s dating the groom’s brother Spencer Matthews.
The Sun can reveal that Brian McFadden’s ex-wife has agreed not to attend the nuptials between Middleton, 33, and hedge fund boss James Matthews, 41, next month.
Sources say Middleton, who famously upstaged her sister on her big day in 2011 by showing off her bottom, was concerned about a reality TV celebrity star attending alongside Prince William and his wife Kate.
A wedding insider said: “Pippa’s view is that Vogue’s relationship with Spencer is still very new. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to be there after just a few months of dating.
“But some people in the circle are pretty shocked because this is her future brother-in-law who’s going to end up attending on his own. It’s certainly raised eyebrows.”
Model Williams, 31, has also appeared in Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, Celebrity Haunted Hotel: Live and Dancing With The Stars in Australia.
Middleton had already instituted a ‘no ring no bring’ policy to the reception at the Middleton family home, which is likely to see Prince Harry attend without his TV star girlfriend Meghan Markle, 35.
The source added: “It’s clear Pippa doesn’t want to be outshone by any TV babes on her big day.”
A source close to Williams said she would not have been able to attend the wedding.
The insider explained: “Vogue is working on the day of the wedding — a job that has been booked in for ages — so she won’t be attending regardless.”
Spencer, 27, went public with his romance with Vogue during an appearance on Irish TV last month.
The couple met while filming Channel 4 celebrity action series The Jump, which Spencer went on to win. Williams pulled out after suffering a knee injury.
