Pippa Middleton may soon lose the title her royal hotness for Pippa the perfect party hostess if a lucrative new book deal goes ahead.
The 28-year old, who shot to fame following her sister Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge’s royal wedding, is said to be in talks about a potential book deal and has been meeting with editors from HarperCollins about her penning a party hosting book, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.
The book is believed to include tips on etiquette, what food to serve at a party and how to decorate a room.
The new deal is an effort to support the family party planning business, Party Pieces, which Pippa is already involved in and edits its The Party Times blog.
Despite her party planning background, some media outlets in the UK have slammed her for cashing in on her sister’s royal status with many writing satire pieces about her new venture.
Pippa’s book, which is rumoured to be worth $1.6 million, is expected to be somewhat similar to her blog.
In one post she wrote: “The key to creating a wonderful party lies not in spending vast amounts but in planning — from choice of venue, entertainer and party theme to the selection of food, decorations and the birthday cake.”
It’s thought that the book will be published before December 2012.
Your say: Is Pippa cashing in on her sister’s royal status?
