Kate and Pippa, born just 21 months apart, grew up in Bucklebury, Berkshire and both attended boarding school, Marlborough College.
The Middleton sisters shared a love of sport, including hockey, tennis and athletics, which has followed them into adulthood.
In an interview with NBC in 2014, Pippa said of her relationship with her big sister: “I mean, obviously she has pressures that she’s taken on and things. But we spend a lot of time together. We still do a lot together as a family. We have a very normal, sisterly relationship. We’re very close. And, you know, we support each other and get each other’s opinions and things.”
