Pippa, sister to the Duchess of Cambridge, and her husband James Matthews are expecting their first child in October and the mum-to-be looked radiant as she walked in the sunshine to apparently pick up a hat from celebrated milliner Jane Taylor on the Kings Road in Chelsea.

The hat maker is a favourite of her sister's as Kate wore a Jane Taylor creation for both the christenings of her children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Pippa also wore a Jane Taylor hat for Charlotte's christening at Sandringham.

Bespoke Jane Taylor hats can cost as much as £1,500 and can take between four and six weeks to make.

Pippa, who tied the knot with banker James, 42, on May 30 last year, wore a long white summer dress and gladiator-style sandals for the shopping trip.

Her dogs, a spaniel and black Labrador, joined her.

Prince Louis, son to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will be christened at the Chapel Royal, St James' Palace in London by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby on Monday.

The chapel is the same place Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was baptised and confirmed into the Church of England in a secret ceremony just before her wedding in May to Prince Harry.

Members of the Royal Family as well as Pippa and her parents are expected to be there.

Pippa was also seen looking relaxed with her bump just days earlier when she wowed in white at Wimbledon.

She was joined by her brother, James, who was wearing a navy blazer and blue tie to match Pippa's blue espadrille sandals.

She recently revealed she still plays tennis while pregnant.
