It’s thought the pair parted ways earlier this month, with the news being ‘common knowledge’ among their circle of friends.

'It is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up,' a close pal reportedly told the Sunday Times.

Rumours all was not well first started to circle when Pippa was spotted holidaying with ex-beau and close pal George Percy in Madrid in May.

The royal bridesmaid’s other half was nowhere to be seen on the Spanish jaunt, and it’s thought the pair haven’t been spotted together since Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.

Back in April, Alex was revealed as Pippa’s Royal Wedding date, as she played Maid of Honour at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s nuptials.

It’s thought the Eton-educated 30-year-old accompanied Pippa, 27, on the day, but kept a low profile, waiting in the wings while his wedding day date fulfilled her royal duties.

Although Miss Middleton set tongues wagging as she sailed down the aisle on the arm of Prince Harry, reports suggest Pippa only had eyes for Alex, who friends revealed, was utterly taken with her.

'He's madly in love with her,’ one insider revealed at the time. 'Of course he was never going to do anything about it while she was helping Kate arrange her wedding.'
