Will Pippa Middleton receive a royal title when Kate Middleton becomes Queen Consort?

Pippa Middleton couldn’t be closer to her eldest sister Princess Kate.

The 40-year-old was famously Kate’s maid of honour at her historic royal wedding to Prince William in 2011 and has remained one of the Princess of Wales’s closest confidants.

Not to mention the support Pippa frequently shows her royal sister, attending her annual Christmas concert, as well as being spotted court-side at Wimbledon on some occasions. But will Pippa gain a royal title when Princess Kate becomes Queen Consort?

The answer is both yes, and no. It would be unprecedented for Pippa to receive a title simply because her sister is Queen Consort. However, Queen Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot did gain a title when her sister became Queen, with Camilla appointing her one of ‘the Queen’s Companions’ which is the equivalent to her ‘ladies in waiting’.

Otherwise, there is one title she will definitely inherit but it has nothing to do with her royal family members.

Pippa’s husband James Matthews is reportedly set to inherit his father’s title as Laird of Glen Affric, therefore Pippa will become Lady of Glen Affric.
