The Middletons are planning on extending their party planning business, Party Pieces, to the United States. Michael and Carole Middleton are said to be eyeing New York as a possible location, which would mean their youngest daughter Pippa would be spending a lot of time there.
Their company has done extremely well since the wedding between Kate Middleton and Prince William, and with a royal baby on the way, business is only getting better for the Middletons.
According to NY Daily News, the family has come to realize a lot of the business they’re getting from their website is coming from the U.S., so it would only be natural that they expand with in an office in the Big Apple.
A source said, “Party Pieces’ overseas business has been extraordinary with America dominating much of the interest. It has prompted the Middletons to look at establishing an office in the U.S. so that they can bolster their brand and even tie into other companies and ventures. They feel New York offers them a good starting point.”
Pippa was seen scouting out locations in New York earlier this year, and it was believed she was looking for an apartment. But it seems she has been looking at possible locations for offices.
Daily Mail reports that Pippa helps with the business, editing the online blog Party Times.
An insider also notes the Middletons are “extremely careful not to upset Buckingham Palace,” as they don’t want to be seen as cashing in on their daughter’s royal status.
“I am not sure if they will even announce the move or just let it happen and move on from there. They are adamant they will never trade off Kate’s royal links to get ahead in business,” said the source.
