Their relationship is strong, as it was clearly seen when Pippa visited the Kensington Palace and her sister. She was often a guest of the Duchess of Cambridge, but Kate often went to visit Pippa, too. So, they were very close before and had a lot of support for each other.
Even before the relationship and wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the fans hoped that love might occur between Pippa and Duke of Sussex. However, this did not happen and there was nothing between them. Now, younger Middleton sister is married to James Matthews and they are the proud parents of a little boy named Arthur.

Relationship with other royals are great because Pippa appears on all important events. For example, she was guest at the wedding of Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, which happened last year. In addition, she attended the baptism of Princes George and Louis as well as Princess Charlotte. This means that they were very close before.

Simply, since she became a mother, she got a new role to care about little Arthur who needs a lot of attention now. This is the only reason she rarely visits her older sister. Also, she had to change her schedule because being a mother is a big responsibility.
Are the sisters still close?

There is no doubt that Kate and Pippa are still in excellent relations and that everything is fine. However, some circumstances have changed, so they do not have much time to visit each other. Simply, Pippa became a mother, and Kate has three children. In addition, the Duchess has many royal duties. Therefore, we believe that nothing has changed between sisters and that there is still a strong bond between them.
