Our young generation of royals have been a huge hit over the Atlantic, where everyone adores Princes William and Harry, and it goes without saying, the elegant Duchess of Cambridge, and can’t get enough of their cute outfits and regal accents.

Even though Pippa Middleton isn’t strictly a member of a royal family – she’s living in New York and about to launch her book on party advice – she’s a big draw too.But it seems that she’s determined not to exploit her regal connections to sell more copies, and therefore has broken the collective heart of the US media by turning down all interview requests.

The New York Daily News reports that; ‘Pippa has been besieged with offers from everyone in the U.S. media offering her a raft of opportunities . . . including being a special correspondent on shows like ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ as well as interviews with Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Anderson Cooper ... [but] If Pippa is quizzed about Kate’s topless pictures, then whatever answer she gives will generate more news about the matter, and upset Will and Kate.’

Surely the nation that brought the world Martha Stewart will snap the book up anyway?
