The sister Kate Middleton is apparently set to be charged in what the British tabloids have dubbed “gungate” — after finding herself in the middle of a scandal following her weekend adventures in Paris.
Pippa was snapped in an Audi convertible on Sunday with three male companions. She reportedly was in Paris for a party. One of the male passengers was photographed waving what is being reported as a fake gun.
If the gun was real, brandishing it in a public place is punishable by up to seven years in jail “for all parties involved,” according to British newspaper the Sun. Even if the gun’s a fake, there could be a maximum jail term of two years.
St. James’s Palace said it would not comment on the actions of Pippa Middleton. As of Monday afternoon, there was no comment from the Middleton family.
Meanwhile, Pippa reportedly is in a serious romance with wealthy earl George Percy, who is heir to one Britain’s richest and grandest dukedoms.
Percy — whose trust fund guarantees him an income of $500,000 each year — is completely besotted with Pippa and completely in love with her.
“It looks likely the Middleton sisters will be completing the double before too long,” a source said.
“It was like a shark circling its bait. Some people think she has always set out to do this.
“If Pippa ends up marrying Earl Percy, then it isn’t a bad return on Carole Middleton’s investment when she sent her two daughters to posh public schools.”
