They had just spent several hours watching well-bred young men beat each other senseless in the boxing ring.

Even at 4.30am, however, Pippa Middleton and Alex Loudon were still in romantic mood.

The couple shared a lingering kiss yesterday as they waited for a cab outside a London hotel where they had attended the Boodles Boxing Ball charity event.

Pippa gazed tenderly into her boyfriend’s eyes before the lateness of the hour caught up with her and she failed to stifle a yawn.

The couple’s body language dispelled any remaining suspicions that they had drifted apart following 28-year-old Pippa’s show-stealing appearance at the royal wedding in April, when her pert derriere won world-wide admiration.

Mr Loudon, 31, a former cricketer who played for England in a one-day international against Sri Lanka in 2006, is now a financier.

He and Pippa, younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, have been dating for more than three years.

For Saturday night’s event at the Park Plaza Hotel, she wore a striking red gown with plunging neckline and gold high heels with matching clutch purse.

Also attending the ball, which cost £1,950 per table of ten, were Geri Halliwell, Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy and his brother William’s old flames Jecca Craig, Olivia Hunt and Isabella Anstruther- Gough-Calthorpe.

There was no sign of the princes, but their cousin Princess Beatrice made an appearance in a floral gown.

The Mail understands that Miss Davy is now dating Jamie Richards, the 29-year-old son of Aston Martin boss David Richards.

A well-placed source said the pair have enjoyed numerous romantic dinners and a cruise along the Thames over the past two months.

‘Although it is early days, they are very comfortable with each other and Jamie is proving to be a welcome distraction from her break-up from Harry,’ the source said.

‘Jamie is confident, rich and loves rugby – just the sort of guy Chelsy goes for.

‘They have told their close friends about each other, but are cautious about appearing at official events together yet.’

Jamie’s father, who was made a CBE in the 2005 New Year Honours list for his services to motorsport, is former head of the BAR and Benetton Formula One motor racing teams.
