Startling insight into Pippa’s Friday feasts

Pippa Middleton has offered more startling insight into her culinary expertise by declaring it is best to host a dinner party on a Friday night as it is “far away” from Monday, unlike Saturday.

Kate’s sister sheds light on her typical hectic week in her first column for Waitrose’s monthly magazine.

Ms Middleton, who joined her parents’ party company after leaving university, also describes “pre-Monday melancholy” and “feeling exhausted” on Friday evenings, suggesting she is now familiar with the trials and tribulations of the working week.
