After overshadowing her sister Kate Middleton at her wedding to the future King of England, Pippa Middleton went into hiding. (At least she wasn't photographed publicly.) Until Monday, that is, when the sister of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge watched a match at the French Open between Maria Sharapova of Russia and Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland.![pippa4 reuters]()
The photos were a far cry from the shots of her topless on a yacht and dancing in a bra that came out shortly after her sister Kate's Big Fat Royal Wedding.![pippa3 reuters]()
Before her sister's wedding, only Royal Watchers knew who Pippa Middleton was. When she took her seat at Roland Garros to watch the Open, all eyes at the stadium were on her.![pippa2]()
Philippa Charlotte "Pippa" Middleton is the younger sister of Kate Middleton, who became the Duchess of Cambridge when she married Prince William on April 29, 2011.![pippa1]()
Pippa is still single, but has been linked romantically to an English cricket player, as well as to Prince Harry (although that seems to be mostly wishful thinking on the part of the British press).![Pippa3]()

It has been reported that the Middletons want Pippa, a professional event planner to take a prominent role in the business. The Daily Telegraph reports that she is a part-time editor for the web magazine "Party Times," which is a spinoff of Party Pieces. (Reuters)![Pippa19]()

Following her graduation from the University of Edinburgh, Middleton began working for a public relations firm before heading over to Table Talk, an event and party planning company. But it's her social life that has earned her just as much as attention as her royal sister or her professional accomplishments. In 2008, Tatler magazine named Pippa the "Number 1 Society Singleton." At left, Pippa is seen at the royal wedding on April 29. (Reuters)![Pippa4]()
April 30: Pippa Middleton leaves The Goring Hotel on the day after her sister's wedding to Prince William.
