ENGLEFIELD, England — Six years ago, Pippa Middleton famously held the train of Duchess Kate's wedding dress. On Saturday, the royal returned the favor by smoothing the back of her sister's custom lace dress as she got ready to walk down the aisle.

In 2011, Middleton's figure went viral after photos were widely shared of her holding the train of sister Kate’s Alexander McQueen dress at Westminster Abbey, where the duchess joined the royal family by marrying Prince William.

"As I have found out, recognition has its upside, its downside and – you may say – its backside," Pippa later joked, according to People, adding that her infamous dress "fitted a little too well."

Photos from both ceremonies are reminiscent of each other.

Saturday’s ceremony took place at St. Mark’s Church in England, during which Middleton tied the knot with hedge fund manager James Matthews, whom she has been dating on-and-off since 2012. In addition to Duchess Kate, Prince George and Princess Charlotte served as members of the wedding party. Prince William and Prince Harry also were in attendance.
