During a Dec. 5 live 'Qualifying Notebook' segment, Sky Sports reporter Ted Kravitz approached a group including James Matthews and Rebecca Donaldson but did not name Pippa Middleton. Pippa and Matthews turned away without answering a question about race favorites as Kravitz remarked he could not hear any responses before moving on. The brief exchange was widely shared on TikTok, where comments ranged from surprise at the nonrecognition to defenses that the reporter’s focus is Formula One. Pippa attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with her husband, James Matthews, a former racer who joined the Williams Racing board after Dorilton Capital’s 2020 takeover. Her trip meant she did not attend Princess Kate’s Together at Christmas service at Westminster Abbey, where other Middleton family members were present.
