Pippa Middleton and Duchess Catherine at Wimbledon
Pippa Middleton has landed a new magazine job.
The 29-year-old sister of Duchess Catherine has become Vanity Fair's new contributing editor and in her debut article she recalls queuing at 5am to get into Wimbledon - the London-based tennis spectacle - with the duchess to see her "hero" Tim Henman.
In a section about her favourite Wimbledon moments, she wrote: "Queuing from 5am on People's Sunday in 2004 with my sister for three hours and getting £35 tickets on Centre Court - my first time ever.
"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. The atmosphere was electric - more of a carnival than a glorified garden party, which it so often is - and for once crowds were thankful for the British rain."
Pippa also recalls being an aspiring tennis player and setting her sights on winning the prestigious tennis tournament.
She wrote: "I first went to Wimbledon when I was eight years old and already a very keen tennis player.
"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."
As well as her latest magazine deal, Pippa has a monthly Friday Night Feasts column in Waitrose magazine and published her first book, 'Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Family and Friends', last year.
