Despite going their separate ways at parties, one source said the pair are 'very close,' but try not to be pictured together, to avoid setting photographers off.

Behind the scenes, the two are said to get on like a house on fire, and even enjoy evenings in at the Chelsea pad Pippa Middleton shares with James.

A close pal of Donna told The Sunday People: 'They have cosy suppers and chat about organic cooking and their mutual love of good food.'

Another source added that it is early days for the pair yet, and only time will tell if they remain friends for good.

‘There’s no denying the girls are from different castes,’ another source told the Daily Mail.

‘But they’re also very different women. Only time will tell if that’s a good thing.’
