Her mum was laid to rest on Wednesday, and Pippa said she will now “take each day as it comes”.
She added: “It’s very surreal and tough to except. I’ve been overwhelmed by people’s kindness and I took much comfort in reading all the messages and cards, so thank you!
“We will take each day as it comes. My mum was unique to say the least, I’ll miss her dreadfully.”

Previously Pippa has said she was extremely close to her mum, especially as her siblings both went away to boarding school.
She said: “I’d be quite close to my mum. Susannah went to boarding school, Cian went to Belvedere and was very independent.
“So it was always just me and my mum. When I was about eight my mum had a really bad car crash and was in hospital for about six months.
“My grandparents were living in Johnstown, in this beautiful big house outside the village. I lived with them while she recovered.”
