As Pippa Middleton stepped out in London yesterday, the brunette beauty could barely keep the smile off her face – and it’s not hard to see why!

The newly engaged sister to the Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t help showing off the impressive sparkler on her left hand, as she left her London home in a brightly patterned summer dress and suede heels.

This isn’t the first time Pippa has been spotted out and about with the eye-catching Asscher-cut diamond ring (thought to be worth £200,000) on her finger.

The 32-year-old was also snapped going for a jog with the precious jewellery in tow on Wednesday, and she gave the world its first glimpse of the rock when she was spotted leaving her London home on July 19.

Pippa’s engagement isn’t the only happy news for the Celebrate author, however. Her latest outing comes as it’s revealed she will one day inherit the title of Lady Glen Affric due to her union with millionaire beau James Matthews, according to a report in The Express.

Her future father-in-law, David Matthews, is the Laird of Glen Affric and owns a 10,000-acre estate near Loch Ness in Scotland, with James set to take on the title after his father. As James’ wife, Pippa will have her own title that can be used throughout the Commonwealth.

James, 40, popped the question last weekend during a romantic walk in England’s Lake District. The couple – who dated briefly in 2012 before rekindling their romance over the past few months – are rumoured to be considering a wedding in Bucklebury, where the Middleton family home is located.

According to a joint statement, the couple plan to marry next year. Pippa’s father Michael Middleton told the Press Association he was “absolutely thrilled” for the pair, who he described as a “wonderful couple”.
