to think Pippa Middleton is shamelessly cashing in on her royal connections....

..... in publishing a party planning book. I mean, no-one would have heard of her otherwise. I bet the Queen is horrified. AIBU to find it all greedy and money-grabbing?

Just in case anyone wants to buy it for a Christmas Pressie...
Reduced from £25 to £12 Grin

For what it's worth, I really can't see the problem.

If she was publishing a book called "How to land a Prince" I could see the problem though.

If one of my DDs married Harry, I'd be encouraging the other to make as much out of it as humanly possible. Who wouldn't? I can't see me rushing out to buy Pippa's book though.

But they have. Like I've said above, other royal in-laws weren't too keen to cash in on their connections. And they've done their best staying out of the spotlight-- that meant not giving exclusive interviews to Hello! and such, and certainly not agreeing to a book deal.

It's laughable that you call Kate's stint at Jogsaw as a job, considering that she had it tailored to fit William's life (so she could be at his beck and call 24/7). Oh, did you mean her job as a photographer for her parents' company? That only happened because the public and the media were hounding her for not getting a job after she left Jigsaw.

Fine if she didn't have a steady, 9-5 job. Not all people are cut out for that. But the alternative would have been to participate in charities. Yet I could count on one hand the number of charities that Kate has attended and all of them are through her parents' company. She didn't really stick her neck out and approach any charity and become philanthropic did she? So WHAT exactly has she been doing while waiting for the ring?

Her social life consists of being a parasite around William's friends. Tell me, where are her Marlborough and St. A friends? It seems as if she has no real true, friends outside her family.

are people in long term relationships that don't get engaged pathetic now? Is your opinion of women really that low?

Of course not. But my opinion of Kate is THAT low (setting a new standard for mediocrity since 2011, thank you very much). She's an insult to feminists. She doesn't exactly exude a 'modern, independent woman' aura does she? She is a role model now, like it or not, and I would hate it that any mother would want their daughters to look up at this pathetic GIRL.
