To not give a shit that Pippa Middleton is getting married today?

Seriously, why is the media getting so bloody worked up over this? The DM in particular is practically orgasming over every tiny little detail.

She's a nobody, she's not important. She's just some workshy, over privileged waste of space who's only claim to fame is being the Duchess of Camebridge's sister. But boy does she love to milk it. All the things she could have done with that fantastic education and she's done sweet FA!

AIBU to wish she'd go away and the press would stop going on about her? What is the point of her?

As for why they are inviting Harry - well she knows him and I imagine he's hilarious company Confused

Why do MNers always have such an issue with other people's wedding guest lists?

PacificDogwod · 20/05/2017 12:01

I don't have an issue with Pippa or her husband-to-be or her wedding or anything.
I don't even have an issue with people being interested.
I don't have an issue with the DM frothing at the mouth.

I DO have a massive problem with the BBC NEWS program being dominated by anybody's wedding. I know it's Saturday and weekend news is often a bit on the fluffy side, but really?!

Apparently though it's a good thing I am living this side of the Pond as America is near hysterical about it all GrinHmm

Beyondworried · 20/05/2017 12:03

Ahhhhh.... she looks lovely. So happy trying to be positive today as feeling low

NapQueen · 20/05/2017 12:03

She does. And I like Kates dress what I can see of it.

strikhedonia · 20/05/2017 12:04

I don't, but I was curious about the dress. I actually think it's lovely, and she looks so much better than her sister did.

I don't get the whole being famous for the sake of being famous, may you be called Middleton or Kardashian, but what can you do.

Truly not a fan of "do you know who I am" Pippa, but still think she looks fantastic today. Good luck to her

AmysTiara · 20/05/2017 12:11

Well both the Middleton sisters appear to get on well with Harry so I assume that's why he's invited.

Also having looked at daily mail site, most articles are slating Pippa and calling her classless so Confused

AwaywiththePixies27 · 20/05/2017 12:11

Aww she looks lovely and so happy.

DingDong01 · 20/05/2017 12:17

Didn't know anything about it. But then I don't read the Daily Mail.

BuzzKillington · 20/05/2017 12:17

She looks completely gorgeous!

I like a nose at a celeb wedding, but as for all those proles who are gawping at the church stuck behind railings - have they no shame?

Right, back to not giving a shite.

SailAwaySailAwaySailAway · 20/05/2017 12:25

I'll just leave this here
Someone's in trouble later Grin

WanderingNotLost · 20/05/2017 12:34

Eugenia and her bf are there too. And Roger Federer and his wife!

BandeauSally · 20/05/2017 12:35

Is kate a bridesmaid? Her dress is horrendous! Confused

Mummmy2017 · 20/05/2017 12:36

So pleased you posted the Pic, yes, i wondered nose picking or V..

Also if she is enjoying all the TV time, dont' think she will like it when they won't be camped outside her hospital, when she has a baby.

LineysRun · 20/05/2017 12:43

Those golden page boy shorts are horrific.

Cheesecake53 · 20/05/2017 12:43

OP I absolutely hear you!

WhenLoveAndCakeCollide · 20/05/2017 12:49

Absolutely agree OP.

Diana's family didn't feed off their association with the royal family, like the classless Middletons do.

AlfaMummy · 20/05/2017 12:59

You really shouldn't be reading the DM.

PacificDogwod · 20/05/2017 13:00

There are photos on the BBC website GrinBlush

PacificDogwod · 20/05/2017 13:00

And there is a thread in S+B where this topic belongs IMO.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 20/05/2017 13:06

Yanbu. Just a load of uninteresting toffs spunking money around in a pretty classless way. Who even cares? Why is it news?

I'm quite interested. I see them (and the royals) as celebrities so I like seeing weddings, red carpet events etc to see what people are wearing etc. I'm not a royalist at all but I do love celeb gossip!

As to why she invited Harry, well William and Kate both seem very close to Harry, and Pippa is close to Kate. Both brothers also have homes at Kensington Palace. It is likely they all spend a fair bit of time together.

I hardly call a coal miners grand daughter a toff - btw James is of similar stock too.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 20/05/2017 13:11

I find pedants more irritating that toffs, btw.

MarmaladeSoup · 20/05/2017 13:33

Those page boys outfits are appalling. They look like something from Victorian times.
