Published: 23:29 EST, 4 November 2024
Pippa Middleton is said to be on the verge of signing on as a correspondent for NBC’s Today Show, it was revealed today.
While NBC News has denied that a deal is in the works, sources told Page Six Tuesday that the network has been in serious talks with Duchess Catherine’s 31-year-old sister for months.
Ms Middleton allegedly has been sent to Utah to do a test piece for Today, and if all goes according to plan, NBC will take her on as a presenter.

Ms Middleton first piqued NBC’s interest in June when her interview with Matt Lauer brought in high ratings for the network.
It is expected that Ms Middelton, a party planner and author who has been writing columns about health and wellness, will continue to focus on these subjects in her new job as a Today correspondent.
It is highly unlikely that Prince William’s sister-in-law would report on the Royal Family as the subject is deemed off-limits.
Little is known at this time about the conditions of the rumored deal between NBC and Miss Middleton.
In 2024, it was reported that NBC would offer Pippa $600,000 to be a royal correspondent but this was denied by the network.

During her interview with Matt Lauer in June, which marked Pippa’s first-ever TV appearance, the glamorous socialite shed light on her relationship with her celebrated older sister.
Asked about her relationship with the Duchess of Cambridge, Pippa said she and Catherine are still very close and enjoy spending time together.
Miss Middleton famously stole the spotlight during the Royal Wedding in 2024 when she donned an impeccable, curve-hugging white bridesmaid’s gown for the ceremony.
Pippa’s career suffered a few minor setbacks this past year.
Her party-planning book, Celebrate, suffered disappointing sales, and in May it was announced that Middleton had been dropped as a columnist for The Daily Telegraph after just six months. She still writes for Vanity Fair and is associated with the supermarket Waitrose.
Pippa is currently dating stockbroker Nico Jackson, 36, who in July took a new job at a hedge fund in Switzerland.
