Pippa Middleton under fire

Friday, April 20, 2012

Kate’s sister causes more embarrassment for the royal family.

Pippa Middleton has ruined any chances of being accepted by the royal family after a wild weekend in Paris that is likely to see her questioned by police and possibly even arrested. The Duchess of Cambridge’s little sister was in the French capital to attend the debauched birthday party of a socialite friend when a member of her group pointed a pistol at onlookers in broad daylight.

Despite a recent spate of fatal shootings in France, Pippa seemed to enjoy the poor-taste prank, smirking alongside the gunslinger in a flash sports car. The incident’s caused widespread outrage in Britain, especially inside Buckingham Palace. Royal insiders tell Woman’s Day the Queen is furious at Pippa, as are Prince William and Pippa’s sister, Kate. “This has been a terrible weekend for Pippa,” longtime royal reporter Bill Coles tells us. “She has shown very poor judgment by spending her time partying with people behaving like spoiled Euro-trash with more money than brains.

“Wills and Kate have made great effort to modernise the image of the royal family by being perceived as hard-working and down to earth – and it’s very unhelpful if Pippa is mixing with a bunch of over-indulged brats. “The Queen has really warmed to Kate, but she is furious that Pippa has caused such a scandal. Now Pippa’s put her sister in a difficult position. Kate always defends Pippa when she speaks to the Queen or her palace advisors – but this time she would be defending the indefensible.

“It’s so hard for Kate, because she’s so mild-mannered and timid. She will hate having to talk to Pippa about her actions. Pippa is causing Kate so much stress and worry, when William and the rest of Kate’s family always hoped she’d be a source of support for her.” French authorities are also unimpressed at Pippa’s behaviour, with the Paris Judicial Police set to launch a probe amid a gun clampdown, and Pippa is reported to be in for a grilling.

Pippa has shown the world that she is a loose canon. She cannot be controlled. I think Pippa's out to destroy her sister, Catherine. As it is, Pippa's gun scandal and with 4 Frenchmen, has overtaken the Queen's Diamond J celebrations!
Why would Pippa's behaviour cause the royal family "embarrassment"? She's nothing to do with them whatsoever - I doubt they give a jot what she does.
I don't believe that anyone has any right to criticise Pippa Middleton on how she lives her life. She is not part of the Royal Family and has every right to live her life as she wishes. Yes, she may embarass Kate occasionally, but she did not ask for her life to be followed by the media and she is not the one to marry into the "firm". She is a young lady having some fun.
I wrote sometime ago this woman was just an attention seeking imposter and once again her idiocy has landed her in hot water....maybe she should run for mayor.. enough said
Euro trash I hope the pommie trash is included as "Euro" as a lot of them carry on worse.
Pippa is one of the most overrated girls out there. She's 27 or whatever but looks closer to 40. She always has a smug look on her face but what for? She's nothing special!
Who cares- she is not royal she can do what she likes and the Queen hasn't got time nor interest in worrying about her. Just be grateful you have two gorgeous sisters to stalk and photograph and write inane gossip about.
I do not think Pippa would be discussed at all at the Palace. She is not a royal and what she does or does not do does not reflect on the Royal Family. She is a socialite. End of story.
What a spoilt brat. I don't know what everyone is going on about, Kate is wayyyy hotter than Pippa, and obviously way smarter. I think Pippa needs to get a grip of herself, otherwise she will ruin things for her, and her sister.
