A challenging chapter for Pippa’s book business

IT’S lucky Pippa Middleton is marrying a millionaire as her business isn’t looking as healthy as she is.

Her company accounts reveal that she made a mere £50,000 last year, a fall of £65,000 after posting a profit of £115,000 the year before.

Pippa, right, is sole shareholder of PXM Enterprises, which manages her ‘publishing activities’ – which might include money from her party planning book Celebrate (the one she was reduced to flogging on her parents’ Party Pieces website at a knock-down price).

I revealed last month that health fanatic Pippa, 32, has now written a cookery book, but all the profits are going to the British Heart Foundation. Fortunate, then, that Pippa’s fiance James Matthews, 40, runs a hedge fund that manages more than £1billion worth of investments.
