'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.

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.

Love match: Pippa arrived at Wimbledon yesterday with boyfriend Alex Loudon

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
