Pippa attends Christening in Switzerland

The article has had coverage on French and German-speaking websites, but I have not yet found anything about the trip written in English – so the following is based on my translation, utilising my GCSE B grade French, which I passed 10 years ago! (So apologies in advance if it turns out I have got something wrong!!)

Pippa in Switzerland:

Pippa celebrated a baptism (which I believe is the same as a christening) on Saturday at Neuchâtel, Switzerland.  The Swiss town is also known by its German name “Neuenburg”.

Pippa took on the role of godmother to the 5-month old son of her friend, Marie-Sophie, who is the Countess of Monteglas. The pair became friends in London.  Marie-Sophie now lives in Neuchâtel with husband Ari Tatos.

After cocktails, Pippa departed from the church with a friend in an Audi Convertible, which is registered in France.

Pippa’s dress:

Pippa chose to wear a red lace dress to the christening, and we think she looked gorgeous; we have seen this red lace dress recently at the wedding of Katie Percy and Patrick Valentine.
