Prince Harry hits it off with Pippa Middleton
PLAYBOY Prince Harry could not resist a cheeky play for new sister-in-law Pippa Middleton, leaning over and whispering: "You do look very beautiful today — seriously."
Later the pair seemed to make a perfect couple themselves as they stood side-by-side on the balcony of Buckingham Palace gazing down on the ecstatic crowds.
And their naturalness and warmth together summed up just how seamlessly the highest family of the land joined together yesterday with the self-made Middleton clan.
It also got many tongues wagging with suggestions that the pair looked such a good match that they might be the next Royal romance.
Former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan jokingly took to Twitter to urge: "Make a move this afternoon, Harry." And comedienne Katy Brand wrote: "Harry and Pippa whispering dirty, flirty little asides to each other."
Events planner Pippa, 27, had drawn gasps as she swept towards the altar behind her sister in an elegant white gown setting off her svelte curves. Thousands tweeted that she was "absolutely stunning".

But it still must have been a day of almost out-of-body surrealness for the middle-class Berkshire couple. Hard graft had made them into business millionaires — and now romance had joined them to the country's first family.

Meanwhile Princesses Beatrice, 22, and Eugenie, 21 — daughters of Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York — caused a less upsetting stir with bizarre hats by Philip Treacy.
And one of the keenest onlookers on the groom's side was Zara Phillips — daughter of the Princess Royal — who will marry rugby player Mike Tindall in July.
She is planning a much more low-key day than her cousin William for her own nuptials in Edinburgh — but was still bowled over.
Dressed in a silver Paul Costelloe coat and her own wide Treacy hat, the equestrian champion, 29, said of the day: "It was great — amazing."
