Pippa Middleton has reportedly landed herself a rich Earl whose real-life home is Hogwarts.

The 27-year-old found world-wide fame when she was bridesmaid for her sister Kate at her wedding to Prince William last April.

She is apparently in a relationship with her old love George Percy, who is heir to the Duke of Northumberland.

It is one of the UK's richest dukedoms, with an estate that includes Alnwick Castle, movie setting for Harry Potter's wizard school.

George will one day inherit everything, including a fortune worth around £315million.

A source told The Sun: "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 have been friends since they met at the University of Edinburgh and had a brief fling in 2008.

Last year they said they were "just friends" and he was helping her get over his split with banker Alex Louden.

However, the couple seem to have reignited their romance at a New Year's Eve party.

A source said: "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."

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."
