Patti Stanger Has Two Matches for Pippa: A Commoner or Prince Harry

By Jo Piazza Posted Jun 17th 2011 10:30AM

EXCLUSIVE: If anyone can get the world's most eligible bachelorette, Pippa Middleton, hitched it is none other than Bravo's 'Millionaire Matchmaker' Patti Stanger who PopEater queried for advice on how the newly single sister of Princess Kate should proceed when it comes to her love life.

We were shocked when Patti told us that Pippa doesn't have to stick with the landed gentry -- the young, rich and powerful set in the UK -- like her exes Alex Loudon, the cricketeer finance whiz and George Percy, the son of the Duke of Northumberland, one of Britain's wealthiest men.

Just like Prince William chose Kate, Patti thinks Pippa could use a commoner in her life to keep things interesting, if she can find one who isn't intimidated by her new social status.

"That's always a problem [with men being scared of women who make more than them or are of a higher social status] but there is always one regular Joe ready to step up," Stanger told us. Pippa simply has to be willing to try something new. "She has to give him a chance when he busts a move on her."

And like the rest of us, the Millionaire Matchmaker sees a love match for Pippa right in the family. Yup Stanger thinks Prince Harry could still be the one for Pip. But if she chooses to go that route she will need to proceed carefully.

"Harry would be a party pal and a great confidant," Stanger says. "I think she should friend him first, as a backfire on chemistry would be disastrous."

Of course he'll have to get Chelsy Davy to stay sober long enough to tell her they're splitsville, but that's a problem for an entirely different reality television expert. Paging Dr. Drew.

British Royal Weddings

It seemed straight out of a fairy tale when Prince Charles, 32-year-old heir to the British throne, married 20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981. Despite the births of Prince William and Prince Harry, the couple were very ill-suited. Diana bitterly claimed "there were three of us in this marriage" -- a reference to Camilla Parker Bowles. Charles and Diana separated in December 1992 and were divorced in August 1996. A year later, Diana was killed in car crash in Paris.

Pippa doesn't need Patti Stanger for ANYTHING. Somebody, please tell her! Pippa can find a nice guy all on her own, and maybe she doesn't find Harry attractive, anyway. And why is it important in any way whatsoever that William and Harry marry the sisters of one family? Silly story. And stay far, far away from Patti Stanger. Oy vay!

By Tim

No one should ever listen to a matchmaker that can't find love for themselves. I've seen Patti on TV & she seems like an ugly person inside & out. She should worry about her own life because she seems to do a pathetic job if her show is to be believed.

What makes Patti Stanger think Prince Harry likes a flat arse?

By blackisbackhahaha

Pippa certainly is a very attractive young lady, hints at her party life style adds to her attraction.

Why would anyone need to match Pippa up with someone! I am sure she can do it herself. Besides why would she want or need to get married at this point in her life. She looks like she is having fun with all this attention.

I think she'd be good with a pug from the pound. They'd be one of those couples that look like twins!
