Well, she was never going to be dancing around her handbag at the local nightclub, was she?

Royal sister and bride-to-be Pippa Middleton was treated to a hen party fit for a queen recently, taking a private jet with her family and closest friends to the luxury resort of Meribel in France ahead of her nuptial to James Matthews next month. The party, including Pippa's older sister Kate Middleton, shared a jet with Prince William, cleverly keeping the secret girls only bash out of the spotlight... while the world's media was firmly focused on Wills' dad dancing escapades in Switzerland. While the boys hit Verbier, the gals chose to take their party around 100 miles away to Meribel, where a truly luxe weekend awaited. A friend of Pippa’s told The Sun: “Pippa loves skiing, so it was her first choice for a hen weekend. They stayed in a really exclusive catered chalet with maids and chef, who ensured that they were totally spoilt.” “The owners also wanted to impress their royal guests, so the girls were showered with gifts. They were given Swatch watches, Ugg slippers, leather-bound notebooks, and bespoke fragrances. It was a very small, private party, and they had an amazing time.” Hope they didn't get charged for all that extra luggage on the way home.
