Pippa Middleton to Get an Armored Car?

By Kelly Fisher Posted Jun 28th 2011 02:00PM

Her sister may have married into the Royal Family, but it's Duchess Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton, who may be getting her own set of armored wheels.

Prince William's in-laws are reportedly splurging on a $152,000 bomb-proof vehicle for Pippa, who has surged into the public eye ever since she held Kate's train at the Royal Wedding in April.

"Carole and Michael have taken a raft of measures following advice from one of William's most trusted bodyguards," a source told The Sun. "Pippa's car will have all the latest security devices, including armor plating. It will be bomb proof."

Pippa has been making headlines almost as often as her now-royal sister, from her latest fashions to who she may be dating these days.

Last week, reports surfaced that Pippa and the youngest Prince were getting close, but Harry shot down any rumored romance. Pippa's recent split from British broker Alex Loudon also added fuel to the hookup fire.

"Pippa? Ha! No, I am not seeing anyone at the moment," Harry told the UK's Daily Mail. "I'm working a lot at the moment, so dating and watching TV are the last things I have time for."

High Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

She is adorable. It's her parents money, they can spend it any way they want too. Keeping her safe wow, I don't consider that a waste of money.

The UK is broke and I could care less..................These Brit morons gladly support the biggest welfare fraud familly on the planet.......SUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By nevermind

there is a small amount of people that have too much money. please explain why she is that important. at the end of the day to a regular person who cares. if they want her protected. put her in a small hybird vehicle with two able bodied (armed) and discreet body guards and call it a day. i mean really is it that serious?

By cosmkdbree

I love smart chicks. And Pippa is a lot more attractive than Sarah Palin. If she has been getting threats, especially since what is happening in Northern Ireland, then it's okay to make her safe.

By LRH

Yo, RoyalFleece. Reread the report. Pippa's parents (aka Prince William's in-laws) are footing the bill for the armored car, not the British taxpayers.

Mom was a Flight Attendant; Dad, something to do with scheduling, I think. Airline people are a different breed from those who have no sense of adventure.

I would love too marry her. I would protect her and fight for her.she would be verry happy and safe with me.

Here we go again trying to make a totally ugly beast appear beautiful by protecting her in a armored car. NO ONE CARES!!! Pippa is a below average looking chic who the media is trying to convince the world otherwise NEXT STORY PLEASE.

By Dummy

Who cares anyhow!

I don't care, I don't care

Lori - If you have to ask what Hmmm's quote meant, you may be the one that's stupid. It's a good idea to protect Pippa, because the world already knows that England is targeted often in terrorist plots. BUT to advertise it in an article that she's going to have a bomb proof car, isn't in the best interest. It's one thing to marry into the Royal family, you know going in that you'll be in the public eye. Family members, don't sign up for it.

Just as I thought, Harry does not have time to worry about dating or marriage. Let the guy focus on his job and so.

I would be kind of glad if Harry and Pippa do hook up but if they are not meant to be, then the media should leave them alone.

What's the big deal with her? She is cute, but that's it...nothing special. My 25 and 20 year old daughters are much prettier and they don't need protection.

By bizbee260

But then, you aren't rich, related to royalty, and trying to make sure your name stays in the news... it's hard work..!

OK, she's cute, but c'mon. I bet there's 1000 guys reading this who have wives/girlfriends just as hot. Who cares, like good looking women are hard to find?
Thank the media, children. Thanks media.

By I wear protection

It's about the enemies of the country. Like MUSLIMS?

Don't ya mean more like the Irish? There's a metric buttload of people that would serve as better targets, to think she's the target of Muslim terrorists because she's the cute little sister is just dumb.

By pippin

I'd like to PIPPA her, lol
