Wonder what they will call her? Older children are Grace & Arthur, I would imagine it will be something traditional like her siblings.

This might be total BS but I’m sure I remember reading at the time that they were only inviting the partners of guests if they were engaged or married. I only remember this because there was speculation of whether Harry would bring Meghan or not. Spencer & Vogue didn’t get engaged until 2018 so maybe that was actually a thing?

I was just reading about it and apparently that was the official line, Meghan declined at last minute so as not to upstage the proceedings apparently!

That rule seems a little harsh when applied to your brother's serious girlfriend. I get it for cousins and friends from college you last saw ten years ago!

They obviously didn't think it was a serious relationship & probably didn't want vogue in the wedding photos! Just speculating out loud!

Probably right!
Vogue probably one of the few women confident enough not to be rattled by that!

Yeh I remember reading that Meghan went to the reception but not to the church.

I'm sorry but they aren't famous, which is why I thought they were z listers. Although reading some other posts, the husbands brother is a z lister so maybe that's where I got that idea from. Apologies for having the cheek to click on a thread and then have the audacity to.post as well. Consider me told off by the Internet police. As you were.

Oh I don’t know, Pippa Middleton’s arse was very famous there for a while.

SnottyLottie · 11/07/2022 22:57

Just researched when Spencer & Vogue meet (apparently Jan 2017). The wedding was in May 2017. Spencer was a well known serial womaniser/shagger. I wouldn’t necessarily blame them for not allowing him to bring a girlfriend he’s not known for that long with his track record. I imagine Pippa & James didn’t want to take a risk and have a random ex end up in the photo album.

Benjispruce4 · 11/07/2022 23:07

Older children? Didn’t know they had any!

pisspants · 11/07/2022 23:08

To be fair, it may not be a reflection of Vogue that she was not invited to Pippa's wedding. Spencer was a huge player so they probably didn't want to invite a girlfriend of his as he had never properly committed to a partner until her. (Closet Made in Chelsea fan here so have watched him repeatedly being a massive player!)
I do find it fascinating that Spencer and Vogue must see quite a bit of William and Catherine, if only at all the christenings!

Miranda Catherine Carole is my guess

Or

Anna Kerry Vogue

Sofia.

Olivia

Rich kid three may be an option. I'm sure the DM will have photos soon of Pippa in trainers wheeling a fancy pram.

DorritLittle · 11/07/2022 23:41

I know who Pippa Middleton is, obvs, but I had no idea how many children she has and clicked on the thread half wondering if she was Pippa Matthews. It's not 'posturing' to not know the personal details of everyone connected to the RF.

Still can't believe these children's cousins! One one side are the royals and the other are fame-chasers Spencer and Vogue's kids!

I didn't know this. 😂

Spencerfig · 12/07/2022 08:43

Florence would go nicely with the siblings too... I'm still going with Caroline, it's posh understated & honours her mum. I was surprised Kate didn't include Carol's name in Charlotte's.. She's Charlotte Elizabeth Diana all names from William's side... Charlotte being the female version of Charles..
Michelle might be an option in honour of Michael... Due a comeback!

@Spencerfig Charlotte and Caroline mean the same thing - little Charles. So Charlotte honours Carol too.

Charlotte is Pippas middle name so honors her.

Spencerfig · 12/07/2022 08:57

I'm away too invested in this😅 I really like & admire the Middle family as a whole, they seem like a very strong, supportive bunch.

Why are people posting pretending to be bewildered as to who this couple are? Why click on the thread then? ConfusedGrin

I don’t understand why you’d click on a thread about people you haven’t heard of / have no interest in and then further waste your time asking who they are (Googling would take less time presumably).
There are hundreds of conversations every day about things that I don’t have any knowledge or experience of and I just … ignore…

PuckeredArseFace · 12/07/2022 09:04

I like Rose too, it would go well with the other names

Apollonia1 · 12/07/2022 09:05

I listen to Vogue and Spencer's podcast, and they never, ever mention James and Pippa, even when they're just back from a holiday together. I presume they are deliberately being discreet.
I'd say Vogue and Pippa get on ok. They are both outdoorsy (e.g. Vogue won the Bear Grylls Mission Survive show a few years ago, and horse-rides), and have the link of each having 3 kids under five.

Pippa must shudder having to deal with fame grabby Vogue........... they really are a family of polar opposites.

that is funny,

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 12/07/2022 10:37

I'd imagine P&J were cautious about who they invited to their wedding as she would probably want her sister (aka the most photographed woman in the world atm) to be able to actually let her hair down without some new-to-the-scene girlfriend putting loads of photos on Insta of Kate and William dancing or whatever.

SnottyLottie · 12/07/2022 10:48

James’ middle name, his mother’s middle name and his brother’s first name are all Spencer. Possible middle name option? Although it doesn’t seem their style but they clearly like honouring family members.

MimiSunshine · 12/07/2022 11:03

For those saying that Pippa must shudder at Vogue. It really doesn’t take much of a Google to see that they do spend time together and seem like they get on.

they holiday together and have attended functions together, including James’ (Pippas brother) wedding in France.

why would they not get on or at least be ok with each other as family? They both actually seem to have very similar interests (sport and fitness for one) their 3 children are all very similar in ages as Pippa’s are each only a couple of months younger than Vogue’s each time.

Spencer has talked in the past about how his two brothers were extremely close in age and very close where as he is 10/12 years younger so not as close to James (Michael died) plus Spencer was raised in the Caribbean where as the older brothers went to English boarding schools and were then both young adults when he was at school so it stands to reason that the two families aren’t always in each other’s pockets.

vogue has mentioned before that Pippa is very private so she clearly respects that pubically.

Vogue also isn’t an impoverished urchin being dragged into the British elite, her parents are successful and well off. But Irish accent and her name (neither of which she could choose) brings out the snobbery in people.

The baby' name will be Katherine👌
