Talk about sibling rivalry! Kate’s broken with royal tradition and won’t be taking sister Pippa, who some are claiming will become her lady-in-waiting, on her U.S. tour!
Kate Middleton doesn’t seem to want her beautiful sister Pippa Middleton to steal the spotlight from her when she travels the United States with her new hubby Prince William in July, so Kate, 29, has banned Pippa, 27, from going on the trip. Harsh!
Kate’s decision to ban her sister — who some say will soon act as her lady-in-waiting — from the U.S. trip completely breaks with the royal tradition of an assistant accompanying a princess on all official trips.
“Catherine and Pippa are very competitive,” royal biographer Andrew Morton tells In Touch magazine.
To make the sister jealousy situation even worse, “Oprah is making a huge play for Pippa to star in her own reality show for OWN,” a source says.
BFFs — do you think Kate is jealous of Pippa?

Pippa seems to be jealous of her sister for marrying the grandson of the Queen and “might be King”!
Men seemed to leave her after a while of relationship. She wanted something BIG to be on the news ! She is not “candid” . She is a “VIVA” She is known for drinking too much! Is she also on drugs?

Our society is so sick. There are lots of stories much much worthier of writing about (the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the suicidal, the mentally ill, people needing help) yet stupid magazines after stupid magazines write trashy stories that have no significance. Why? If people care about those that need help, we would have been a much nicer society. It is not too late. Start now and encourage readers to do random acts of kindness for starters.

Pippa’s gams are beautiful, butterface . . . Kate is much more attractive than Pippa. Pippa looks older than Kate. I think Pippa has done the real sun too much and is already showing signs of aging too soon. I would have guessed Pippa to be the older sister. however, it is the 21st century and Pippa doesn’t want to be a lady in waiting and Kate doesn’t want someone around her every minute. They are from wealthy parents, so Pippa won’t be a slave to anyone, even her sister. I am sure Pippa wants to have her own life. Some people think that asymmetrical face is pretty and she does have a banging body, even though it is a bit over-baked!

Pippa is jealous of Kate and she would love to have what she has. I say “Keep her away from William or she would like to steal him as well.” Oprah is a troublemaker to put her on her network. She is creating English rivalry
by even putting Sarah Ferguson on her network. She must be
desperate to find people for her network. She, herself, should have retired a long time ago and made a life for herself.

No matter how much the media keeps trying to shove Kate and her sister down our throats no one really cares. Especially about the sister.
