PIPPA MIDDLETON CAUGHT IN AWKWARD MOMENT WITH NEWS REPORTER AFTER SKIPPING SISTER KATE'S CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Pippa Middleton skipped sister Kate's annual Christmas carol concert to attend the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix over the weekend.

However, Pippa, 42, was spotted in a little snafu at the event as a sports reporter didn't seem to know who she was during a TV segment.

A clip of the awkward encounter made the rounds online, showing the journalist, named Ted Kravitz, walking around the party and interviewing fans about the race.

He then saw Pippa hanging out with three others and went up to talk to them — but he didn't recognize the Duchess of Cambridge's sibling despite acknowledging other members of the group.

"Not acknowledging Pippa is frying me. Her sister is the next Queen of England," a fan penned on social media.

"I knew I knew that woman from somewhere," someone joked, while another came to the defense of the reporter, adding: "He's paid to talk about F1, not recognize the siblings of the royal family."

Pippa stopped by the championship game alongside her husband James Matthews, a former race car driver.

Kate's annual Together at Christmas carol service happened across the world in London at Westminster Abbey on December 5.

Pippa, who has been a regular attendee at the merry event for the last five years, missed the party for the first time in 2025.

But the Duchess of Cambridge's brother, James, and their parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, all came by to support her charity bash.

Kate has been suffering from a form of cancer since last spring and is currently in remission. However, she has the help of her loving family as she navigates these painful, trying times.

“It was a window into the support network she has around her and how family has gotten her through. It showed the strength of the unit,” a source said about the situation.

A different source revealed how Pippa is a source of great comfort to the mom-of-three.

“Pippa is not only Kate’s younger sister, but she’s her best friend and loyal to the bone,” the insider said. “Kate can trust Pippa with anything she needs to get off her chest. That’s given her a great deal of comfort. Their bond will see Kate through her recovery.”
