James and Pippa Middleton did it!

The siblings took part in a 54-mile bike ride from London to Brighton earlier today in honor of the British Heart Foundation.

Pippa spoke to reporters shortly after completing the charity race, which is in its 40th year, about her second time riding in the lengthy ride.

"This event is a testament to the fact that cycling is such an inclusive sport that everyone can enjoy," the ambassador for the charity explained.

"Through the money raised, the BHF can continue to help the millions of people affected by coronary heart disease—the U.K's single biggest killer."

The news of Pippa and James' participation in the race was announced back in January of this year, and Kate Middleton's sister opened up about why the cause is so important to her.

"I was shocked to learn that nearly three times more women die from coronary heart disease than breast cancer," she shared.

"I'm passionate about raising awareness amongst women of this killer disease and I look forward to working with the BHF to highlight to women the risks of heart disease and importantly, how they can reduce them."

And the Middleton siblings aren't the only ones close to the royal family keeping busy in the recent weeks.

Princess Eugenie has accepted a new job at a top London art gallery, E! News has confirmed.

"Princess Eugenie has joined Hauser & Wirth as an Associate Director, and we are delighted to have her as part of the team," a representative for the Saville Row gallery shared with us. Hello! magazine was the first to report the princess' new post.

The job comes on the heels of the 25-year-old's recent stint in New York City, where she worked at auction house Paddle8 since 2013.
