Kate Middleton's younger sister Pippa has been named as a contributing editor of American magazine Vanity Fair.
"We're delighted to have Pippa as a contributor to Vanity Fair," magazine's editor Graydon Carter said.
"She's a keen observer of classic British pastimes. She is also an avid sportswoman, and we look forward to her take on traditional English pursuits, beginning with Wimbledon," Carter said in a statement today.
In her first dispatch as Vanity Fair's newest contributing editor from London, 29-year-old Pippa said, "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."
Pippa said she was quite a tomboy growing up-so much so, that she once told the whole Middleton family that "if I had to get married, it would be in my tennis whites-shorts with no pleats or frills.
