Pippa Middleton gives first ever major interview since becoming engaged

In her first major newspaper interview to talk about her new charity cookbook, as Pippa Middleton (pictured) arrives, her huge sparkling engagement ring is difficult to ignore (bottom right). A three-carat diamond with 12 smaller stones, it catches the light every time she moves her hand. She radiates food health and happiness after getting engaged to financier James Matthews, 41, in July (top right). With a multi-millionaire fiancé and access all (royal) areas thanks to her sister, the Duchess of Cambridge, she may seem as though she has it all - but public life has taken some adjustment. The flipside of her celebrity status has seen her the target of social media abuse and a drip, drip, drip of gossip that would destroy the most confident of social butterflies. Now, Pippa Middleton opens up on how it has impacted her and her family. After an embarrassing first foray into writing, with a party-planning book that saw her ridiculed, she now feels like she has the credibility to launch the new project, about something she knows plenty about and is close to her heart, write ANDREW PIERCE and RICHARD KAY. With the new book, Pippa hopes to change people's negative perception of her as a 'privileged socialite'.
