Her brother-in-law wants to recover his brother’s body after 23 years

23 years ago, the family of James Matthews, 46, suffered a terrible tragedy. Pippa Middleton’s husband’s brother, 38, disappeared when he was just 22 while descending Mount Everest. In 1999, Michael Matthews became the youngest Briton to ever summit the world’s highest mountain. But this insane sense of achievement ended in tragedy. Now Pippa’s brother-in-law Spencer Matthews, 33, wants to search for the body. This is reported, among other things, by “The Sun” just a few days before Michael’s birthday. He would have turned 45 on March 4, 2022.

Pippa Middleton: Documentary about the last days of her missing brother-in-law

Spencer Matthews, 33, a former reality TV star and a veteran extreme athlete himself, wants to follow the same path his brother Michael did more than two decades ago in hopes of finding the body. This daring action has an emotional reason: Spencer wants to make a documentary about his brother’s last days. Insiders say he hopes this film will bring peace to himself and his family. In 2013, the 33-year-old wrote in his autobiography how much his family suffered from the death of his brother. “We never got to say goodbye to him and have no place to be with him,” Spencer writes. That’s why he wants to “bring his older brother home” now.

For many years, the Matthews have lived with the uncertainty of exactly what happened to Michael Matthews on May 13, 1999, the day of the tragedy. He is said to have been separated from his group during the descent during a strong storm. But his body was never found. However, a local guide now believes he knows where she might be and wants to accompany Spencer on his emotional quest.

Pippa Middleton supports her Spencer Matthews

Duchess Catherine’s sister, 40, and her husband support Spencer with this idea, as does his wife Vogue Williams, 36. They have all shown themselves to be of great help in the past and are involved in “The Michael Matthews Foundation”, for example. The foundation in honor of Michael supports educational projects in Africa and Asia. The donations are used to provide financial support to schools in the poorest regions of the world.

According to an insider, the documentary about Michael Matthews is still in its infancy. The streaming service Disney + is said to have already shown interest.
