Pippa Middleton being courted by NBC for job as correspondent Pippa Middleton, sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, could have a new job. The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, Pippa Middleton, is being courted by the US network NBC for a job. The network is filming a test shoot with 31-year-old Middleton in the US state of Utah and, if the network's bosses are happy with the result, is planning to hire her as a correspondent. An interview with Middleton by NBC's Today show host Matt Lauer, which was aired last year, was received well by the network's audience and executives. According to reports Middleton has been pursued by all three of America's major networks, notably ABC and NBC. NBC denied rumours they were talking to Middleton in June, but subsequently there have been leaks about the test shoot in Utah. Sources told The New York Post that if the Utah shoot goes well, NBC will offer Middleton a job. NBC has not commented on the reports. Somewhat unexpectedly famous in the wake of her sister's 2011 marriage to the heir to the British throne, Prince William, Middleton has dabbled in a number of media jobs, notably as a writer. She was the author of a book about party planning which was published in 2012, but it was not a success. She has also written for Vanity Fair, The Sunday Telegraph and the supermarket magazine Waitrose Kitchen. If she is hired, Middleton would not be the first correspondent recruited by NBC with royal connections. Between 1986 and 1996 Charles Spencer, now the 9th Earl Spencer, worked as a reporter for NBC, filing stories for Today and NBC Nightly News. Spencer is the brother of the late Princess of Wales; he is also the maternal uncle of Middleton's brother-in-law, Prince William.
