Kate Middleton's sister Pippa has just become a contributing editor at Vanity Fair magazine and her first feature allows us to see how the 29-year-old socialite can handle being a tennis columnists. Though she already has her own "Friday Night Feast" column in Waitrose Kitchen and has published her first book, Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Family and Friends, Pippa has decided to add to her writing roles. In her first editorial for Vanity Fair, Pippa decided to write about her most memorable experiences at Wimbledon.

"I first went to Wimbledon when I was eight years old and already a very keen tennis player," wrote the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge who almost stole the show at 2011's Royal Wedding. "During this first trip I acted on my childish tennis dreams and bought myself a postcard of the women's championship trophy, on which I wrote, 'I will win this one day,' with my signature below."

Pippa also admits to being so in love with tennis that her sense of fashion, though now very stylish, was influenced in a big way by the sport. "If I had to get married, it would be in my tennis whites - shorts with no pleats or frills," she admitted to telling her family when she was younger.

"Queuing from five A.M. on 'People's Sunday' in 2004 with my sister for three hours and getting £35 tickets on Centre Court; my first time ever," she wrote about one highlight of her Wimbledon memories. "Seats were a free-for-all-and I recall almost tripping over myself trying to get as close as possible to my birthday-twin British hero Tim Henman."
