The middle Middleton child, and author of Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Family and Friends, has signed on with Vanity Fair as their newest contributing editor. This news is, of course, coming on the heels of the speculation that she’s just started her own company PXM Enterprises, and that her stint at Waitrose Magazine has caused a pretty substantial increase in sales for the publication.

Pippa’s first column will focus on – what else – Wimbledon. In a statement from Vanity Fair London, editor Graydon Carter said,

 “We’re delighted to have Pippa as a contributor to Vanity Fair. She’s a keen observer of British lifestyle pursuits and customs. She is also an avid sportswoman, and we look forward to her take on traditional English pursuits, beginning with Wimbledon.”

Pippa’s first article includes an interview with Roger Federer (jealous!) and her experiences attending Wimbledon, including lining up with Kate at 5am for tickets.

Looks like someone will be needing an across-the-pond subscription!
