Pippa Middleton has rekindled her relationship with former boyfriend George Percy.
Pippa - the younger sister of Duchess Catherine - and the heir to the Duke of Northumberland, whose family own Alnwick Castle, the movie setting for 'Harry Potter's Hogwarts, previously dated in their final year at Edinburgh University in 2008 before splitting up.
A source close to the couple told The Sun newspaper: 'George is very smitten and completely in love with her. It looks like the Middleton sisters will be completing the double before too long.'
Pippa and George reportedly rekindled their romance at a New Year's Eve party thrown by the Middleton family.
The source added: 'Pippa sat herself next to George at supper and made sure she was hanging off his arm all night. And then she made her move.
'It was like a shark circling its bait. Some people think she has always set out to do this.'
Pippa's 18-month relationship with ex-cricketer Alex Loudon ended in November and she was given a shoulder to cry on by George, who invited her to spend time at his ancestral home.
The pal added: 'Pippa has always been close to him. There is no doubt this was a huge issue for her ex-boyfriend Alex.
'After they parted the first thing she did was spend a weekend on George's estate in Northumberland. But now they are out in the open.'
