'She's a foxy filly!' New Pippa Middleton documentary claims to reveal details of relationship with Harry

By Deborah Arthurs


Crazy About Pippa: New documentary on cable channel TLC promises to reveal new details about the sister to the future Queen of England


Since Pippa Middleton's stellar performance as maid of honour at the royal wedding, there has been a sense of growing hysteria surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister.

Such is the interest in Pippa Middleton both here and in the U.S. that Pippa - known now by such monikers as Her Royal Hotness and P-Middy - is to be the subject of an in depth documentary made by cable network TLC.

The appropriately named Crazy About Pippa will air on Tuesday 9 August at 9pm, when, it is said, 'those closest to Pippa provide insight into the life and work of the future Queen of England's sister.'


Given that that would mean Catherine taking centre stage to divulge details on her sister, it's doubtful the revelations are genuinely to come from those 'closest' to Pippa.

Nonetheless, the show will no doubt be well watched, discussing as it will Pippa's rise to notoriety following William and Catherine's wedding, taking in the Alexander McQueen gown she wore to walk down the aisle of Westminster Abbey and touching on Pippa's now infamous derriere which, following the wedding, won its own Facebook fan group with a 230,000-strong membership.

Famous derriere: The sight of Pippa's elegant figure walking down the aisle at Westminster Abbey on Catherine's wedding day inspired a Facebook group that now boasts 230,000 fans


Since Pippa herself is yet to make a television appearance and certainly would not have taken part in the production of the show, it is difficult to imagine what the programme can report that our Pippa-obsessed nations do not already know.

The cable channel TLC suggests, tantalisingly, that the documentary will discuss Pippa's relationship with Prince Harry - although details released by TLC that new brother-in-law Harry refers to her as a 'foxy filly' is likely to be as salacious as it gets.

What is true though, is the network's claim that Pippa is Britain's 'most eligible bachelorette' - although no doubt longtime boyfriend Alex Loudon will baulk at the term. No doubt he would like to think of his girlfriend as very much spoken for.

Affectionate nickname: The documentary will claim that Harry, pictured joking with his new sister-in-law at the royal wedding, calls Pippa Middleton 'foxy filly'


It is not the first time that Pippa's name has been mentioned in the same breath as a television channel.

Shortly after the royal wedding, it was reported that she had been offered $5m by Vivid Entertainment to star in a porn movie, and is listed as the contestant Strictly Come Dancing judges would most like to see on the show.

Odds on that one actually happening? Slim to none.

One is wheel-y not amused: Pippa Middleton’s fancy BMW sports car is clamped

By TED THORNHILL

Locked: The bailiff sets to work clamping Pippa's flash BMW in posh Chelsea, where she lives

Pippa Middleton may have friends and family in high places, but that hasn’t prevented the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge having her car clamped.

It’s a humiliation that thousands of ordinary people face every day and will probably have come as quite a shock to the shapely 27-year-old, whose life lately has centred around looking fabulous at swanky events and adorning magazine covers.

According to eyewitnesses, Pippa’s £40,000 BMW Z4 soft-top was immobilised by a bailiff in a street in London’s fashionable Chelsea, where she has a flat.


It shall not be moved: Pippa's Z4 is going nowhere after authorities immobilised it


We’re sure that Pippa will be driving around again soon. However, it may not be in the Z4 for very much longer, because according to reports the royal sister-in-law may be getting an upgrade to an armoured car.

While Kate is guarded round-the-clock by the Royal Protection Squad, Pippa’s security arrangements are more low-key.

She does carry a panic alarm linked to the police, but her parents are said to be worried that the hugely popular party planner may be attacked by a crazed fan or even kidnapped and want her protection beefed up.


Driven to humiliation: Pippa has suffered the embarrassment of having her car clamped


Millionaires Michael, 61, and Carole Middleton, 55, want to buy Pippa a £95,000 bomb-proof Audi or BMW according to The Sun.

A source told the paper: ‘Carole and Michael have taken a raft of measures following advice from one of William's most trusted bodyguards.

‘Pippa's car will have all the latest security devices, including armour plating. It will be bomb proof.’

Pippa at 13: The 'tough' sports star with a winning smile

By JO MACFARLANE

Gifted: Pippa Middleton was the star of the school's netball team

Fresh-faced and long-limbed,a young Pippa Middleton smiles proudly for the camera in the green kit of her school netball team.

The 13-year-old, already a star on the sports field, according to her former teachers at St Andrew's School in Berkshire – is shown sitting alongside her team-mates as they giggle and pose for the photograph.

Another previously unseen shot reveals the Duchess of Cambridge's sister in her smart school uniform, relaxing with friends in her housemaster's flat.


Sociable: Pippa, centre, and friends in their housemaster's flat


With her shoulder-length hair already tied in what looks like an early version of Kate's wedding demi-chignon, she looks like any other carefree schoolgirl .

The pictures were taken by Kevin Allford, who was housemaster to Pippa and Kate at the £13,000-a-year preparatory school in the Nineties.

Mr Allford, who now lives in Carmarthen, said: 'Pippa was like her sister and did everything at 100mph. They both loved sport, but Pippa was particularly talented.


SPORTY: Pippa, far right, with the school netball team


'She always smiled and was forever winning medals and trophies. The reason everyone thinks she's got a wonderful figure is because of the amount of time she's spent playing sport in her lifetime. With Pippa, it was hours and hours a day.'

Pippa, now 27, is two years younger than Kate, who had already left the school when these photo-graphs were taken.

The sisters were sent to the all-girls school as day pupils when they were eight. They stayed at St Andrew's until they were 13, ¬boarding for their final two years.



Runner: At 27, Pippa is still sporty and ran a triathlon last month


The girls were both known for their bright personalities and sporting talent but they did differ, according to Mr Allford.

'Pippa was tough, not like Catherine. She never seemed anything other than bright and ¬bubbly. If she fell down, she picked herself up and just got on with it.

'She knew exactly who she was and was a delight. There were never arguments with the other girls, never a piece of lost kit or grumbling.'

Royal crumpet! Artist creates collage of Pippa Middleton using 15,000 breakfast snacks

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Tasty: Pippa Middleton's bottom and face made from a staggering 15,000 crumpets


It took 15,000 crumpets and 24-hours of work from more than a dozen tireless workers.

But this ingenious tribute to arguably Britain's most famous face and bottom using one of the UK's favourite breakfasts is complete.

Cheeky artist Laura Hadland has proved Royal bridesmaid Pippa Middleton really is a tasty bit of crumpet, using more than 100 jars of spreads, including butter, jam and Marmite to create the shading on the 13 metre by 20 metre giant mosaics.


Working up an appetite: A team of 15 helpers spent over 24 hours designing creating the collages of Pippa's face and bottom


The crumpets themselves weighed more than a ton.

Laura, 28, recreated the iconic wedding day picture after Pippa topped a Beefeater Grill poll to find the female celebrity Britons would most like to 'wake up to breakfast with'.

She secured 21 per cent of the vote in the survey of 2,000 people.


Famous: Workers put the finishing touches to the collage, based in part on the iconic image of Pippa entering Westminster Abbey behind her sister (right)


David Murdin, from Beefeater Grill, said: 'It's no surprise that someone as striking as Pippa has ranked as the country's top bit of crumpet.

'Sadly we may not be able to guarantee Pippa as part of our breakfast offering to guests but feel confident they'll enjoy our very own tasty crumpets and spreads, none-the-less.'

Fearne Cotton came second in the poll ,with 17 per cent of the vote, and Cheryl Cole came third, with 15 per cent.

The least favoured breakfast guests were reality TV star Katie Price and newlywed Kate Moss, both 3 per cent, and Caggie Dunlop, of Made In Chelsea fame, with two per cent.

Anything you can do, Sis: Pippa now rivals Kate in selling power as £129 red Hobbs dress sells out

By Tamara Abraham


Retail royalty: Pippa Middleton's Hobbs NW3 dress sold out on the retailer's website after she was seen wearing it two days in a row - for a shopping trip on Tuesday, left, and again for Wimbledon on Wednesday, right


Pippa Middleton loves her favourite red dress so much, she's worn it two days running. And it seems we love it too, as it has now sold out across the UK.

Hobbs NW3's Wyldes shift was a bargain at just £89, reduced in the summer sales from £129, but once the Duchess of Cambridge's sister was seen wearing it for both a shopping trip on Tuesday and Wimbledon yesterday, the retailer's website was slammed with orders.

For the lucky few that managed to get their hands on one of the frocks, which has military-style buttons at the shoulders and pocket, it promises to serve them well.

The 27-year-old proved just how versatile the dress is, teaming it with flats for a trip to Russell & Bromley on the King's Road, then ramping up the style factor the following day with tan espadrille wedges and sunglasses.

With such a bright hue, it is important to keep the accessories simple, and Miss Middleton did just that.

On both occasions she wore simple gold hoop earrings and carried one of her trusty Modalu bags - which, incidentally, also sold out when she was spotted carrying one after the Royal Wedding.

The consumer reaction to Pippa's clothing is beginning to mirror that of her sister's.

Almost everything Catherine has worn since her engagement has sparked a similar response, and Reiss has even had to reissue old stock due to customer demand.

But while the High Street's mass-market appeal helps us identify with the glamorous siblings, they are wise to use high-end designers from time-to-time as well.

Tender: The pair looked loved-up as they watched the match between Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga


Alice Temperley, who designed the emerald green gown that Miss Middleton wore to her sister's evening wedding reception, has said that despite customer demand, it was a one-off piece and she will not be making replicas.

She told the Daily Telegraph: 'We'd made it specifically for her and I wasn't going to start trying to capitalise on that.'

Smiles all round: Pippa appeared in good spirits as she arrived at Wimbledon with her mother Carole

There's no Pippa fling, says '100 per cent single' Prince Harry

By Katie Nicholl


Party talk: Prince Harry with an unknown blonde at the Hard Rock Calling festival


Prince Harry has admitted that he is a single man again but says he has no plans to start dating – and has ruled out getting together with Pippa Middleton.

Harry, who has gone through several high-profile splits from girlfriend Chelsy Davy – most recently last month – said he is too busy to go out with anyone at the moment.

The 26-year-old took time out from his duties as an Apache attack helicopter pilot to attend the Hard Rock Calling concert at Hyde Park, London, on Friday night, where he chatted happily with guests backstage.


And despite rumours that he has struck up a close rapport with the Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister since the Royal Wedding in April, Harry said their friendship was strictly platonic.

'Pippa? Ha! No, I am not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm 100 per cent single,' Harry told guests at the Live Nation VIP lounge.

'I'm working a lot at the moment, so dating and watching TV are the last things I have time for.'

Harry also revealed he hopes to enjoy a trip to South Africa this summer. 'I am hoping to get a holiday in August. I haven't been to South Africa in a long time, so maybe I'll go there.'

At the concert, the Prince watched The Killers.

He was also seen partying with his cousins, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice – at one point they all joined the cast of TV show Glee at the Absolute Radio studio, alongside the main stage.

Afterwards, Harry headed to the VIP Hard Rock Cafe restaurant for burgers, chips and mojitos.

A source says: 'Harry spent much of the meal deep in conversation with a group of girls, including an American blonde.

They were discussing his brother and Kate's forthcoming trip to the United States – Harry said he thought they will get along famously there because the Americans are receptive and love confident people.'

Later, he and some friends were driven to a party at Beaufont House, Chelsea.

****************************************

While Harry says he is concentrating fully on his duties as a pilot, the Prince has been urged to switch careers, and become a polo player.

Argentine Gonzalito Pieres, who is ranked the No 2 player in the world, says Harry has what it takes and should turn professional.

'Harry is very good – it is a waste to see him just play exhibition charity matches,' said Gonzalito, 28, at the Rolex polo lunch at Coworth Park, Berkshire.

'There would be many professional teams that would take him. He would be a valuable player.'

Talented: A top coach has said Prince Harry would be a valued player to any polo team


Gonzalito also praised Prince Charles, saying: 'He was very good. My father played with him.'

However, Prince William, who has also been known to enjoy a chukka, should stick to his day job, says Gonzalito.

'William is an OK player, but he is a little slow and too cautious to make it as a professional,' he added.

*********************************************************************
While Pippa Middleton remains close to her old university pal George Percy, George's sister Melissa has become chummy with Chelsy Davy.

Pally: Chelsea Davy is planning to travel with Pippa Middleton's former housemates sister


The pair are even planning to travel across Europe together this summer.

Sources say Chelsy, 25, has been feeling restless since her latest split from Prince Harry.


'Chelsy has been to Ibiza and Barcelona in recent weeks, and is keen to see more of Europe with Missy,' says an insider.

'They got very close in Ibiza when they were clubbing together. Chelsy says she needs to keep busy while she waits for her postgraduate law course to begin in September.'

Lady Melissa, 23, the daughter of the Duke of Northumberland, split from Prince William's friend Thomas van Straubenzee in February.

'I call him Captain and he calls me Commando,' Are 'close friends' Harry and Pippa on the verge of becoming an item?

By Lauren Paxman


Cheeky sense of humour: Pippa and Harry joked around on the balcony on Buckingham Palace at the Royal Wedding


They are both recently single, and became the UK’s second most talked about couple after joking around on Buckingham Palace’s balcony at the Royal Wedding...

It’s too good to be true, but could Pippa Middleton and Prince Harry be on the verge of becoming an item?

The couple have reportedly met up a handful of times since their siblings got married in April and are said to already have nicknames for each other.


Pippa apparently calls the Prince ‘Captain’ - which is his military rank - while he calls her ‘Commando’, in reference to rumours that she was not wearing any underwear on her sister’s wedding day.

Harry is also said to have ended his best man’s speech with the line: ‘Pippa, call me.’

A royal insider told Grazia that the couple have been helping each other through their break-ups, saying: ‘They speak on the phone all the time and have met up at least five times since the wedding, once for tea at his Clarence House apartments... She thinks he’s got a really cheeky sense of humour.’

They have also gone more public with their budding friendship. The pair turned heads when they turned up at The Troubadour in Chelsea for a hushed tete-a-tete. They stayed in the royal haunt for two hours.

Close friends: Despite their busy schedules, Pippa and Harry have met up and handful of times since their siblings got married


Another source said: ‘He only recently came out of a relationship, of course. He’s been trying to cheer Pippa up.’

We wouldn’t expect anything less from the perfect gentleman.

But if Harry really is interested, he’ll have to join the queue. Now that her long term boyfriend, Alex Loudon, is reportedly off the scene, many of Pippa’s exes have been thrown back into the limelight.

George Percy is currently seen as the most likely replacement. He accompanied Pippa and her friends to Madrid shortly after the wedding, and has offered her a job in his environmental firm.

Another contender for Commando? Pippa Middleton went to watch the tennis at Queen's Club with her ex, and boss, George Percy


Last week the couple were spotted house hunting together at exclusive London property giant, Grosvenor Estates - sparking speculation that they are going to move in together.

Other men apparently after a piece of Pippa include her old friend singer James Blunt, and Prince William’s close friend, Barts nightclub owner Charlie Gilkes - as well as most of the male cast of Made in Chelsea.

Pippa has got her pick of the crop, so will she go for a prince or a pop star?

Pippa Middleton flies in for charity race in a £1,000 an hour helicopter

By Jane Simpson


Gruelling: with a cap pulled down over her head, Pippa sweats in out with other competitors in the duathlon


As sister of the future queen, Pippa Middleton might be expected to enjoy the odd taste of the high life

But the 27-year-old appeared more royal than many of the Royals themselves, flying in to a charity race in a private helicopter.

In an arrival which would have been more suited to Prince Andrew – noted for clocking up air miles – she touched down at a duathlon in a £1,000-an-hour aircraft.

Grand entrance: Pippa Middleton, second right, and her friends leave the helicopter near the event's starting line before taking part in the 20-mile run and the 30-mile cycle race


The woman with the country’s most talked-about derriere was competing in the Highland Cross Challenge, running and cycling a gruelling 50 miles coast to coast through some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.

However, although she displayed genuine grit in completing the arduous race, eyebrows were raised by her VIP-style arrival at the start line in the hamlet of Morvich in Kintail, Wester Ross.

Miss Middleton, an overnight sensation after April’s Royal Wedding, had opted to avoid the two-and-a- half-hour car journey from Inverness, instead spending 25 minutes in the air with team mates Rosie Laing and Jake French, and a third unnamed male friend.

They boarded the helicopter, owned by PDG Helicopters, at Inverness airport ahead of the 11am start of the race, which is split into a 20-mile run and a 30-mile cycle. If they had paid the £1,000 hourly rate – the minimum booking – it would have worked out at £250 a head for the trip.

All smiles: Her Royal Hotness looked toned and relaxed as she competed in the Scottish Highlands... she barely even seemed to break a sweat

Sporty: Pippa smiles as she chats with spectators at the event. The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge has lost none of her athletic prowess since she won a sport scholarship to Marlborough College


However, a PDG executive, who was also competing in the race, flew himself to the start line, along with a group of guests.

The company said one of its helicopters had made two trips to the race – one with the boss and the other a private group. It refused to say which flight Miss Middleton was on.

Organisers of the Highland Cross Challenge said they did not pay anything towards the helicopter trip. Event treasurer John Fraser said: ‘Every penny we have goes towards good causes and we would not pay for something so extravagant.

Smile: Pippa said the race, a 50-mile coast-to-coast challenge, was 'tough'


‘It’s the first time Pippa has taken part in the race. She seemed in good spirits. One of her teammates has previously competed. They are very enthusiastic donators.’

Competitors have to commit to raising at least £300 but the trio – who went under the team name The Affric Sprats in recognition of the event’s halfway point, Glen Affric – have a target of £5,000.

All the money raised from the race, which had around 720 competitors, is distributed to organisations throughout the Highlands.

Miss Middleton, who looked tanned and fit, wore a silver baseball hat, black singlet and shorts, and silver and pink running shoes.

In the running: Wearing dark-coloured running clothes, trainers and a cap, the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge was a world away from the glamour she oozed at the Royal Wedding


Tired and muddy, she finished the gruelling event in Beauly, ten miles from Inverness on the east coast, at 4.08pm having taken a respectable five hours, eight minutes. She finished in the top 15 ladies out of 160 female competitors.

She said: ‘It was one of the toughest things I have done. I don’t know if I will do it again but I am really pleased to have finished.’

The record for the event is three hours and 13 minutes and has not been broken since 1993.

It is not the first time Miss Middleton, who won a sports scholarship to Marlborough College, has displayed her athletic prowess.

Earlier this year, she earned a medal after completing a triathlon at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.

Sorry chaps, Pippa's STILL dating nice guy Alex Loudon

By Katie Nicholl


Loyal: Friends say that Alex Loudon adores Pippa. The pair make a point of seeing each other privately


When Pippa Middleton made a late-night visit to her former flatmate and close friend George Percy last week, it prompted a flurry of speculation that the brunette had split from her long-term boyfriend Alex Loudon.

But far from being over, her romance with Alex, a talented cricketer and financier, is very much on, The Mail on Sunday has been reliably informed.

Speculation over a split reached fever pitch last weekend when Pippa attended a wedding without Alex and was spotted enjoying a dinner with George, her former flatmate at Edinburgh University.


They returned to George’s London house and, after hugging each other goodnight, Pippa was seen leaving shortly after 2am.

Former Etonian Alex, 30, who has not been photographed with Pippa since April’s Royal Wedding, has declined to comment, but a family member said: ‘All the rumours are completely untrue.’

They said the couple, who have been dating for nearly a year, are expected at a family engagement together in a fortnight’s time.

Back on: Pippa and Alex were said to have been going through a rocky patch

Special relationship: Pippa spotted out again with ex-boyfriend George Percy at the French Open


While the rumours have been played down, the pair are understood to have been through a rocky patch in recent weeks.

While Pippa has enjoyed mini-breaks in Madrid and Paris, Alex has been hard at work in London. Pippa also watched the tennis at the Queen’s Club in West London, accompanied by George.

But a university contemporary said: ‘Pippa and George are friends, but that is all. Pippa doesn’t fancy George, she’s very into Alex.

‘Alex is the nicest chap you could meet. He’s incredibly sweet, loyal and adores Pippa, but they make a point of seeing each other very privately and don’t go to flash places.’

How does she do it? After wowing the crowds at Trooping the Colour, Kate is surprise guest at wedding of her 'royal matchmaker'

By Daily Mail Reporter


Surprise guest: The Duchess of Cambridge at the wedding of Sam Waley-Cohen - the friend credited with getting Kate and William back together


The man credited with saving Prince William and Kate's romance got a surprise guest at his own wedding today - the Duchess of Cambridge.

Just hours after she proudly watched her husband take part in his first Trooping the Colour, Kate joined guests at the wedding of close friend Sam Waley-Cohen, who married party organiser Bella Balin today.

The jump-jockey was branded the royal matchmaker after apparently helping Kate and Wills rekindle their romance after their brief split in March 2007 - a claim which Mr Waley-Cohen has modestly denied since.


Wearing a fitted monochrome spot-pattern dress - but still sporting the black hat she wore for the Royal ceremony at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day - the Duchess was accompanied by her younger sister Pippa Middleton, who donned a lime-green coat over a dark dress and a black hat.

The pair chatted with friends, villagers and wedding guests outside St Michael and All Angels Church in Lambourn, near Hungerford in Berkshire, before the ceremony began.

According to onlookers, the future Queen drove herself to the wedding and had apparently changed into a new outfit since her appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where she wore a fitted white coat.

Royalist and Lambourn resident Carol Morgan joined a small crowd of well wishers outside the church.

Sister act: Kate attended the wedding with Pippa Middleton, just hours after watching her husband in Trooping the Colour

Social butterfly: The Duchess might be forgiven if she felt a bit tired today after cramming in two events in one day... first at Buckingham Palace, before putting in an appearance at the wedding


The 64-year-old said: 'It was a fantastic wedding and I saw Kate arrive at the church with her sister after she apparently drove herself there.

'She arrived about 20 minutes before the service started and was very relaxed and comfortable in the company of all the guests.

'We watched her happily talk with and greet friends outside the church with a kiss before she went inside for the service.

'When the wedding had finished Kate joined others in making an avenue outside the church for the newlyweds to walk through.

'There were security around but it was all very low key. Kate did look lovely but she made sure that she didn't over shadow the bride on her day. It was a super afternoon.'

Haven't we seen that hat already today? Thrifty Kate managed to get two wears out of this black head piece

Wedding party: Kate chats with guests as they make their way into the church


The bride and groom were spotted leaving the church in a sports car strikingly similar to the Aston Martin Volante that Prince William took Kate for a spin in following their wedding at Westminster Abbey.

It was at a party at Mr Waley-Cohen's family's 17th Century mansion in Oxfordshire in June 2007 - after they split in March 2007 - that William and Kate were seen in deep conversation sparking rumours that a reunion could be on the cards

Just weeks later the pair were spotted aboard a yacht on a private island in the Seychelles.

Warm welcome: The Duchess of Cambridge is greeted by a friend. Onlookers say she was relaxed and chatty


He is the son of businessman, racehorse breeder and trainer Robert Waley-Cohen, nephew of the theatre owner and producer Sir Stephen Waley-Cohen Bt. and grandson of Lord Mayor of London, Bernard Waley-Cohen.

The 28-year-old is a part-time businessman and English National Hunt jump jockey and attended £27,000 pounds a year St Edwards - Teddies - in Oxford.

He came second in the 2011 Grand National and has also built up the Portman Healthcare chain of dental practices since he started the business in 2009.

Anything you can do, Kate: When Pippa tried her hand at modelling

By Neil Sears and Rebecca English


Sibling rivalry: Kate caught the eye of a prince when she decided to model on the catwalk... and Pippa soon followed in her footsteps


Sashaying along the catwalk in a see-through dress never did Kate Middleton any harm – in fact it helped her bag a prince.

So her younger sister Pippa needed no second bidding when she was invited to try her own hand at modelling.

She was one of a group of Edinburgh University undergraduates who took part in a charity fashion event in 2004, two years after Kate’s now-famous stint as a mannequin.


Pippa and her friends had ‘mugshots’ taken for the show’s programme, in which they appeared naked but for a large name card.

For the event itself, the then 20-year-old Miss Middleton wore five very different outfits ranging from a day-glo skirt and top to an African-print dress and a cricket sweater.

Among the designers whose work was modelled by Pippa, an English Literature undergraduate, were Stella McCartney and Ted Baker.

And according to other students involved in the event, she revelled in the attention. ‘Pippa was a very pretty girl with a phenomenally trim, sporty figure,’ said one. ‘She looked great – and she knew it.’

A university contemporary said: ‘In this fashion show Pippa was among a tight-knit Sloaney set who would hang out with Prince Will when he was over from St Andrews University (where he and Kate studied).

‘They were very “country”, and would go off shooting at each other’s estates at the weekend.’

The show, which raised money for a cancer charity, ran for two nights at a nightclub and was compered by Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow.

The French insult Pippa's derriere!

Since her appearance as chief bridesmaid at the royal wedding, Pippa Middleton’s looks and figure have won admiration around the world.

But not everyone is prepared to join in the chorus of praise for the 27-year-old.
A leading French magazine has launched a blistering attack on Miss Middleton, calling her ‘commonplace’.

The article in Le Point, written by ‘intellectual’ author Patrick Besson, even urges her boyfriend, Alex Loudon, to leave what he describes as ‘the daughter of an air hostess and toy maker’ who is obsessed with collecting rich boyfriends.

The piece viciously picks the emerging style icon apart – attacking her beauty-spot, teeth, and even world-famous bottom saying it is ‘bony and not rounded enough’.

Besson, a self-avowed communist, adds: ‘The whole package is crowned by a flat smile, vulgar, empty, inert, insincere, greedy, cold, shameful, stupid, uninterested, immature ... that signifies nothing, and engages no one.’

The author also uses his diatribe to criticise the British ‘obsession’ with the wedding of William and Kate, saying it is just an excuse for the public to sit around drinking beer and breaking wind.
