Pip's Pranks

Ring-hiding, is it ever funny? Pippa thinks so.

OMG!!! Like, Pippa's clearly got such a great sense of humor!!!

When she and Kate and their mum went shopping at "one of their favorite jewelers" (I know, I know, just normal middle-class girls, right?) Kate got a fright when she thought she'd mislaid a family engagement ring that Prince William gave her in 2010.

But, according to Now magazine which caries an interview with the anonymous jeweler it turned out that Kate had just been the victim of a 'naughty prank' by dwarf and stripper party king P-Middy.

"Pippa is a little minx—she has a wicked sense of humor," the now-presumably-unemployed jewelsmith says.
