Pippa Middleton engaged: report

TORONTO – Pippa Middleton, the sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is engaged to banker Nico Jackson.

Middleton, who nearly stole the spotlight at her sister’s wedding in 2011, is set to walk down the aisle in 2014, according to Us Weekly.

Rumours were rampant in the fall after British tabloid Sunday People reported Middleton and Jackson were secretly engaged for several months.

Middleton, 30, and Jackson, 36, have been together for nearly a year and half.

A source told Us Weekly Jackson popped the question while on a trip to India’s Oberoi Amarvilas.

“It was exactly how he planned it,” the source told the magazine. “Very romantic and grand!”
