With a potential role as godmother to the royal baby and a dashing new beau, Pippa Middleton is riding high as she celebrates her 30th birthday on 6 September and is still as much in the headlines as ever.
But if you thought you knew absolutely everything about the much photographed girl about town think again. HELLO! has unearthed a few surprising facts about Kate Middleton's sister.
- Pippa sets herself a major physical challenge every year. In the
past she's climbed Mont Blanc, sailed the Atlantic and competed in the
world’s longest cross-country ski race in Sweden and tackled the Coast
to Coast triathlon in New Zealand involving 150 miles of running,
cycling and kayaking.
- The ultimate foodie, she loves sushi and used to get her flatmates, who included George Percy, heir to the Duke of Northumberland, and Lord Ted Innes-Ker to help her prepare it in front of the TV at Edinburgh University.
