Pippa, sister of the Dutchess of Cambridgeshire, was seen boarding a London-bound train at Selby Station on the afternoon of January 8th.

Local media however got to the bottom of the rumours reporting that she was attending a shooting event hosted by Lord and Lady Gerald Fitzlan Howard, taking place at nearby Carlton Towers.

The 28 year old party planner became a public figure when she accompanied her sister, Kate, when she married Prince William last year.
