While her older sister married into the royal family, Pippa Middleton is now part of the Conde Nast family.
The Duchess of Cambridge’s 29-year-old sibling has landed a new gig as a Vanity Fair contributing editor.
In her first piece for Graydon Carter’s glossy, Middleton writes about her experiences at Wimbledon and how she once dreamed about becoming a pro tennis player.
“I first went to Wimbledon when I was eight years old and already a very keen tennis player,” she writes. “During this first trip I acted on my childish tennis dreams and bought myself a postcard of the women’s championship trophy, on which I wrote, ‘I will win this one day,’ with my signature below.”
She also gives tips on which players to look out for who are “easy on the eyes” and writes about her and sister Kate’s Wimbledon obsession.
“Queuing from five a.m. on ‘People’s Sunday’ in 2004 with my sister for three hours and getting £35 tickets on Centre Court; my first time ever,” she recalled. “Seats were a free-for-all—and I recall almost tripping over myself trying to get as close as possible to my birthday-twin British hero Tim Henman.”
Middleton also interviews tennis champ Roger Federer, in which she gets the scoop on what he eats for breakfast.
The London-based lifestyle guru offered her party planning tips in her book, “Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends” and already writes a monthly column for Waitrose Magazine.
The July issue of Vanity Fair comes out tomorrow.
