Pippa Middleton will get a title to rival Kate's after she's married

All eyes have been on Pippa Middleton this week (or more precisely – on her $350,000 ring) after news of her engagement to James Matthews surfaced.

Now it seems her sister Kate isn't the only one to gain a Royal title, with Pippa set to inherit her own title of Lady Glen Affric, according to The Express.

Middleton’s future father-in-law, David Matthews, is the Laird of Glen Affric and owns a 10,000 acre Scottish estate near Loch Ness in the Scottish highlands.

James will eventually inherit the title and Pippa will have her own title bestowed upon her as his wife, which she can use in the Commonwealth.

David is a former mechanic and acquired the title when he bought the estate in 2008.

The aristocratic connection was unearthed by Australian art historian Michael Reed, who said the Matthews family “keep to themselves” but that “they know how to play the royal game”.

He said: “You’ve certainly got this Matthews family who own this huge baronial castle.”

The aristocratic title has a long and rich history and even comes with its own red and green tartan, which Mr Matthews could opt to wear at what will be a star-studded wedding.
