Fearless: Miss Middleton dives into the water in Ibiza in previously unseen pictures


She may have been a bridesmaid at the royal wedding, but Pippa Middleton is clearly not cut out to play second fiddle for long.

Her dazzling appearance on William and Kate’s big day has brought the 27-year-old an army of fans and dozens of online ‘appreciation’ sites.

And now it seems she intends to capitalise on her new public profile – by starting her own party planning business.


Pippa is determined to continue with her 'business plan' despite being 'furious' when topless holiday pictures of her emerged recently

Yesterday, as pictures emerged of her enjoying an idyllic holiday with family and Prince William on her uncle Gary Goldsmith’s yacht in Ibiza some years ago, she was said to be ‘furious’ that images of her topless had also been published.

But although she sees the topless photos as a betrayal by friends exploiting her fame, she is determined to continue with her ‘business plan’.

A friend said: ‘She is really buoyed by her success and is hoping to start her own party planning business.’ Photographs showing the new Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister partying in her underwear several years ago have also been circulating.

After leaving college, Pippa set up an online magazine, Party Times, on the back of the Middletons’ business.

The source said: ‘Her aim is to branch out into organising events. I am sure she’ll be able to use new-found royal contacts to drum up business.

The Middletons have started to take action to have the racy pictures withdrawn.
