Pippa Middleton looked relaxed as she enjoyed a beach day in St. Barts during a family holiday over the festive period. The Duchess of Cambridge's sister, 36, wearing a stylish grey striped Asceno bikini, was spotted running across the sand to dive headfirst into the sea on the Caribbean island.

Mum-of-one Pippa soaked up the sun with her husband, hedge fund manager James Matthews, who sported blue swim shorts. His parents, Robert and Jane, own the five-star luxury resort Eden Rock in St. Barts and the Middletons have been spotted holidaying there in recent years.

The couple were joined by Pippa's parents Carole and Michael Middleton, as well as her younger brother James and his fiancée Alizee Thenet. James, 32, announced his engagement to the French financial analyst in October, after a year of dating. Just weeks after announcing their happy news, James revealed that he is looking ahead to the big day. "We are in the phase before we start planning everything, just enjoying the process," he told Vanity Fair Spain. "The trip we are going to undertake together, as a team. And that's fine." Bride-to-be Alizee wore a striped swimsuit as she paddled in the shallows, while her future husband donned a pink shirt and white tailored shorts.
