Pippa Middleton also attended day three of the 2014 Wimbledon Championships and was spotted catching up with her friend, Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery.
The two couldn't stop chatting and laughing as they realised they were sat near each other, with Pippa's younger brother James also getting in on the action and Michelle introducing boyfriend John Dineen.

Michelle and boyfriend John both wore navy blue jackets while Michelle teamed her cover-up with a sleeveless black shift dress.
The friends first met several years ago when Pippa and James visited the set of the hit ITV drama.
Fans of the show, Michelle had previously told Vanity Fair magazine of meeting the two.

That’s why they came. And it was shortly after the [royal] wedding. It was amazing talking to them. And I hear that Will and Kate are fans, too, which is great", Michelle told the magazine.
It was a day to relax for Pippa and James, who recently completed a 3000 mile cross-country trip across America on bicycle.
Cycling as part of an eight-person group, the teams cycled through 12 states in six days, ten hours and 54 minutes in order to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and the Michael Matthews Foundation.

Pippa, 30, and James, 27, then both posed for photographs before loading up their bikes and jumping into a waiting black vehicle, presumably headed for a nearby hotel to get some rest.
