She is around for quite some years now and obviously able to join in the fun. She has the education of an upper class girl, attended the same boarding school as Beatrice (or Eugenie?) and was successful at university. She had no influence on the family she was born into, but the things she has been responsible for herself she has done in a way that is okay. She is nothing like an upstart, IMHO, though of course there are masses of young ladies of aristocratic background around who from their book value seem to be a better option. But William chose her as his grilfriend and we'll see if he makes her his wife.
I was a bit, well, not surprised but disappointed, though, that her sister was dropped by her heir to nobility-boyfriend immediately after it became known that William and Catherine had separated. Probably Pippa was okay as long as she was going to be the future king's sister-in-law but when that changed (even for a short time) she was kissed good-bye. Well, now she knows what this "romance" was worth.
