Pippa Middleton, sister of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, has opened up about her life in the spotlight in an exclusive interview.

The aunt of future King, Prince George sat down with Today’s Matt Lauer in London for her first ever TV interview yesterday.

A sneak peak live cross of the interview, due to be aired next week, shows the pair chatting at an outdoor table in a London garden over a cup of English tea.

A smiling Lauer jokes that he had to catch an overnight flight to London for the interview: “What’s up with that?”

Pippa, giggling in a low-cut silky white blouse and skinny jeans, replies: “I hate to say it but I was actually in America last week … Sorry.”

The 30-year-old did not say much else during the live cross with Today’s New York studio, except to add: “I was on my bike.”

Pippa was referring to a charity marathon bike ride she just completed with her brother across twelve states in the US.

The interview promises to talk about that ride as well as what life in the royal spotlight has been like for the young royal-in-law.
