While the Duchess of Cambridge is charming Canada, her little sister has stepped into the role of the UK's top socialite.
Pippa Middleton went to Wimbledon twice last week- with two different beaus - and has now been awarded the ultimate compliment of gracing the cover of Tatler.
The upper-class lifestyle magazine was the first monthly glossy to choose Kate Middleton as its cover girl back in February.
August's cover story is not the only time Middleton has put Tatler on notice. In 2008, they named the party planner the No. 1 Society Singleton.
But Kate did pip her to the post when it came to being the first Middleton to appear on the cover of Tatler. Before her wedding the Duchess-to-be was given the Andy Warhol treatment, resulting in four colorful images in the style of Marilyn Monroe in 1962.
Both covers used an archive image rather than a specially commissioned shoot.
Middleton's cover photo taken at her sister's April 29 wedding to Prince William is shown in black and white surrounded by a colorful ring of flowers.
The shot is cheekily headline "Pippa: The Bottom Line," in reference to the media frenzy created by Pippa's tight silk bridesmaid dress.
The cover is accompanied by a piece by Annabel Rivkin which looks in to the "Pippa phenomenon",
"Pippa seems almost to have become the whole point of the most recent royal wedding," said Rivkin,
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are jolly and popular; the consensus seems to be that William has chosen wisely and that Kate is a solid, grounded middle-class soul who will inject some focus into a royal family battered by its own human frailty.
"But while Kate and William bounce off to Wales, where he can be a helicopter rescue pilot and she can be a housewife, Pippa...has gone global."
The magazine also lines up10 potential suitors including Robert Kennedy III, Prince Andrea Casiraghi of Monaco and Pierre Sarkozy.
