Media magnet Pippa Middleton essentially went into hiding after that whole “gun incident” earlier on in the week, but the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge in Central London on Friday, and her demeanor was markedly different.
Pippa was seen roaming around Central London, with at least one trip being the Rossano Ferretti Hair Spa, according to a report by E! News. Whereas Middleton is usually bubbly in all of her photos, her appearance was much more somber than usual.
If the reports are to be believed, there’s a good reason for that. Various sources say that the “gun incident”, which some are calling “Gungate” (I vote that we all stop calling it that), was an “embarrassment” to Pippa’s royal in-laws.
Pippa has yet to comment on the incident, but Arthur de Soultrai, one of the friends who was along with her for the ride, explained the situation to Us Weekly, saying: “As a joke, my friend brandished a toy pistol in their direction. Obviously Philippa had no idea that he was going to do that and she told him to stop immediately. She did not find it funny.
After a bunch of fuss over the gun incident in the days after, it looks like the scandal of sorts is finally starting to blow over, and Pippa is once again ready to be seen out in public.
Do you think that the Pippa Middleton “gun incident” was blown out of proportion?
Whether she likes it or not, Pippa needs to remember that everything she does now will reflect on the royal family. Also, just for the record, they are not her in-laws, but her sister's.
So I guess she should just stop living her life the way she is used to because her sister got married? She is her own person and should be able to do whatever the hell she wants to without worrying about what the "royals" think. Was it blown out of proportion? Of course it was.

Blown out of proportion by the media.
Totally out of proportion…but…due to the fact her sister is the future queen…everything she does is now subject to ridicule…its been that way forever
I think the media maked to much of this.but when there is news they people need to know they do a bad job of reporting.they cover up the real issues like obama real birth record or they just show the easy things.they say the america people can not handle the real truth.like 9/11.they blocked all or nearly all of what happened after the airplane into the towers.
Like I give a rats ass about all this nonsense? Why do they not leave this woman alone; she did nothing wrong. There are more important news issues.
They didn't cover up the issue of Obama's birth certificate, it was in the news constantly for over a year!!
She's treated like a Princess because of her association with the royal family. I think she is just now learning that it isn't all fun and games. All that special treatment and attention she enjoys comes with some responsibility.
No matter who we are, "Pippa" included, everything that we do in life touches someone else. We need to be careful, mindful and considerate at all times and think before we do something. That's to say that we, "cannot do whatever the hell we want to and not worry about what the royals think"………………
Leave her and that family alone. Those young people aer goi.ng to save England. Just think how much better the world would be if Princess Di were still alive and all the humanitarian efforts she was involved in.
Well, for one thing "she" didn't do anything but was with someone who pointed a toy gun at paparazzi who were hounding them. Didn't the paparazzi hounding Diana lead to her death? Maybe they need to think about their actions too. Also Pippa didn't marry a "royal" her sister did so she has a right to lead her life the way she has always lead it which means if she wants to go out and party that is her decision to make. Why should she become a slave to the whim of someone else?
made, not maked…and we've all seen Obama's birth certificate, so get over that one already. Jeez…
Just another spoiled rich brat who thinks because she is relate to royalty everything she does is okay. Well Pippa that was really a stupid thing to do. Related to royalty or not you don't seem to be the brightest bulb in the room.
you can bite my ass.ann frank if you dont like how spell things .stepkh yu are right they did cover his birth records. but just what obama wanted them too.
Leslie, from the news reports of the gun episode, Pippa was not the person brandishing a gun, another person in her party was. Your insulting comments directed at Pippa are unfair and uncalled for. In fact they sound more like bitterness born of envy and resentment over your lot in life more than a justified criticism of Pippa's conduct.
Many comments seem to forget that in France it is a crime to point a gun — real or toy — at someone in a threatening manner. It wasn't the media that turned on the heat, but the French police, who are investigating…additionally, that government holds everyone in the car to have equal liability as the gun owner/wielder. The gun owner can face up to several years in prison…as can his friends. We don't realize how strict firearm laws are in Europe, and at issue was whether this incident (small by US standards) would land Pippa in the docket and, perhaps, a French jail.
Toy guns have dayglo orange plugs in the barrels. They look like toy guns. Real guns look like guns. This is to stop police from shooting idiots with toy guns so they can same their ammo shooting idiots (like her friend) with real guns.
I don't think it was entirely blown out of proportion. Let me rephrase that. I'm not surprised the royal family would be very upset with that picture. It gives the public the perception that the royal family and their rich friends think they're above the law. The family knows that they need to stay in good standing with the public or they'll suffer a similar fate as those claiming to be "Royals" before them. You've got to behave in a royal, respectable manner if you want the public to continue funding your free ride. The family knows this and this was an embarrassment to the family.
Paul Lancaster have you ever heard of "guilty by association". If Pippa takes care of Pippa she will be alright. She is a smart girl. Being cognise of those around us is not at the "whim of someone else"…..
Absolutely
Paul Lancaster Right on
Where the hell do they get those stupid looking hats. lol lol lol.
yes! it was and is still being blown out of proportion!
Karin Anderson Blown out of proportion? What planet do YOU come from where its okay to point guns at people? Silly cow
rofl….
Glad to see someone can see the real point of it all. Forget out "Pippa" and lets try and draw attention to the fact that this moron has not been arrested yet.
The guy is an advisor for a major arms manufacturer. What self respecting toff is going to carry a toy gun? That was a real piece. The idiot pointing it was probably so high on breakfast time coke that he forgot that he was not above the law…oh wait. He hasn't been arrested yet so he IS above the law.
She is a spoilt rich girl who should goo to work and keep out of the news!
randallf I agree totally. What makes it worse is the fact that he's a lawyer. Might even put him a little higher.
