Pippa, while not a royal herself, was hurled into the media spotlight after her sibling’s nuptials last year, and the 27-year-old's escapades will be indelibly linked to The Firm, as Britain's sovereign heads are nicknamed, from now on.
But the royals are no strangers to media gaffes themselves. Who could forget the time Prince Charles was caught on camera branding BBC reporter Nicholas Witchell “awful” and claiming he “couldn’t bear that man” during a photoshoot?
Pippa Middleton could be quizzed by police after she was photographed in a car with friends, one of whom pointed a 'gun' at paparazzi
Sophie Rhys-Jones, now the Countess of Wessex, was left red-faced when a topless photograph of her was published ahead of her marriage to Prince Edward. The royal bride-to-be was snapped apparently frolicking in the back seat of a car with Chris Tarrant.
Footage of Mike Tindall, the husband of Zara Philips caused another headache for the blue-bloods after it apparently showed the England Rugby International kissing a blonde woman in a New Zealand nightclub.
Perhaps Pippa shouldn't sweat it too much after all.

There are just certain things that neighbors don't prefer in their backyards. Nightclubs tend to be one of them. In a decision that's drawing comparisons...
Pippa Middleton could be facing criminal charges after a passenger in the convertible she was riding in waved a gun at photographers during an outing...
"The game was up for Prince Charles and Princess Diana when secretly recorded footage was leaked to the press in which the heir to the throne was heard telling his mistress: “I want to be reincarnated as a tampon and live inside your trousers for ever.”
No. That was Prince Charles talking to Camilla.
Catriona: "The game was up for Prince Charles and Princess Diana
Perhaps I have been too hard on Pippa in another thread. At least she has gone through life without always having Royal Flunkeys to wipe her behind and squeze the toothpaste. she should make the most of life and have fun and damn the begrudgers !
