Pippa Middleton and Nico Jackson’s engagement is looming, but the Buckingham Palace has put iron clasp over any hasty announcements. But that doesn’t mean that Pippa Middleton hasn’t been dropping hints to her stockbroker boyfriend about the kind of engagement ring that she wants as she looks ahead to their wedding. The fact that the couple has been house hunting in Parson’s Green, London shows that they are definitely ready to move forward with their relationship!

A source recently disclosed to Life & Style, “She’s on the brink of getting engaged”. Sounds like Kate Middleton’s sister is about to fall into something. Well, she has fallen in love with the stockbroker Nico Jackson, but that was a long time ago. They have already started their family house hunting in the most expensive part of London.

The source continued, “She’s dropped hints to Nico, but ultimately she’s letting him pick the ring.” Pippa is certainly keeping her boyfriend on a long leash and putting a lot of trust in him. She kind of has to now that Nico Jackson has taken up a job in Switzerland. He is planning to live in Geneva for at least two years.

If Pippa Middleton and boyfriend Nico Jackson do get engaged, the engagement will probably be a small step towards the actual wedding due to their lengthy courtship. Life & Style predicted that “the engagement will probably last only six to nine months”.

So what’s delaying their engagement announcement? The Buckingham Palace may be putting the break on their engagement. Ever since Pippa spilled the beans on national TV about Kate Middleton, Prince George and more, the palace has not been too keen on the way Pippa talks about family-related issues.

It’ll be only a matter of time that Pippa will be flaunting her engagement ring. Will Nico and Pippa make the announcement before he officially moves to Geneva?
