Pippa Middleton reveals fame struggle

Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge's sister Pippa Middleton has opened up about her life in the spotlight, insisting she's still struggling to "make sense" of her new-found fame.

Pippa Middleton caused a media frenzy during her sibling's wedding to Prince William last year (11) thanks to her shapely posterior - and since then, she has been hounded by the paparazzi around the globe.

Now the notoriously private 29 year old has confessed she's having a hard time dealing with the constant attention.

In her new party planning book, Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends, she writes, "It's a bit startling to achieve global recognition before the age of 30 on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom.

"One day I might be able to make sense of this. In the meantime I think it's fair to say that it has its upside and its downside... I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself. "

The book is set to hit stores on 30 October (12).
