Pippa Middleton leads a very quiet life compared to royal sister Kate: How does she earn money?

Pippa Middleton first came into the public eye at her sister, Princess Kate’s wedding back in 2011, when she wore a beautiful white dress as her sister’s bridesmaid. Since then, Pippa has been on a number of business ventures.

Pippa studied and graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in English Literature, as reported by Hello! Magazine. Pippa first started out by helping her mother, Carole Middleton, with her party business Party Pieces.

Pippa Middleton released a book

As mentioned above, Pippa used to work for her mother’s business and set up the Party Pieces blog. Then, 6 months after her sister’s wedding, Pippa was offered a book deal with Penguin. Her book was released in 2012 and is a party planning book entitled Celebrate. The book offers festive recipes and crafts for parties between family and friends.

Then, in 2013, still utilising her university degree, Pippa had her own food column in the Waitrose Magazine, called Pippa’s Friday Night Feasts.

The then-editor of Waitrose Kitchen, William Sitwell said:

Pippa will be an excellent contributor to the magazine, bringing with her a wealth of experience of entertaining, gained in part from working at her family’s party business.
