Report says Kate planning to hook Pip up

UK gossip mag Now has a fun story this morning, reporting that Kate is planning to play matchmaker to her sister Pippa at William's thirtieth birthday later this month.

'Kate thinks that if Pippa focuses on a new romance it'll calm her down. So she's planning on playing Cupid by inviting a number of her single male friends to Wills' birthday bash,' a source tells Now.

The Royalist has been told that Pippa is far to focused on the launch of her book later this year to contemplate a serious romance, but we'll play along for now.
