Pippa Middleton is "rallying around" Princess Kate as the royal's "unofficial lady-in-waiting", GB News's Royal Correspondent has claimed.
Cameron Walker and GB News's Digital Royal Editor Svar Nanan-Sen discussed Pippa's surprise appearance at the Wimbledon Men's Singles Final on this week's episode of The Royal Record Podcast.
Pippa, 40, surprised royal fans when she joined the Princess of Wales, 42, and Princess Charlotte, eight, at the SW19 tournament last Sunday.
Dressed in a floral dress from Beulah London, Pippa's appearance showed a sign of unity within the Middleton family for Kate amid her cancer treatment.

In this week's podcast, Svar said: "This was Pippa's second public appearance since Kate's cancer diagnosis. Her first one came just two days prior on the Friday of Wimbledon.
"Why do you think Pippa has suddenly started to make public appearances now?"
Cameron responded: "What it does show is the Middleton family, as in Catherine's family, are very much rallying around her.
"You can see the love and support that side of the family gives the Princess of Wales and has given her throughout her first major abdominal surgery, and then, of course, a subsequent cancer diagnosis as well."

Kate underwent abdominal surgery in January and later stepped back from public life to focus on her recovery.
During this period, social media conspiracy theories were rampant about the princess's whereabouts, leading to some invasive paparazzi shots of the mother-of-three.
Although initially scheduled to return to duties after Easter, the Princess of Wales announced her surprise cancer diagnosis in March.
Cameron continued: "There was that not very nice paparazzi shot of the princess and her mother in the car near Windsor, intruding on their private life.

PA"But we saw that there was a family unit there. Now, of course, we've got Pippa accompanying her as well.
"In the absence of the princess having official ladies and waiting, as perhaps she would have done in years gone by, it's nice to see people that she trusts and who she's close to, like her sister Pippa, rallying around her and the younger generation.
"Of course, Princess Charlotte was there too."
Charlotte wore a polka-dot £70 dress from Guess which she paired with pink Ray-Ban sunglasses.
