I know we’ve already done one Pippa Middleton story today – go here to read it. That one was about how Pippa has seriously and officially dumped Alex Loudon and how she’s already spending the night, duchess-style, with her ex, George Percy, who is the future Duke of Northumberland. Anyway, this new story is this week’s Us Weekly cover story: Prince Harry and Pippa, will they ever happen? My answer is now and has always been “no”. Pippa is simply not Harry’s “type”. Yes, he has a reputation as a prince who is up for anything (he’s sort of like a ginger Gerard Butler with a title), but Harry always seems to gravitate towards trashy blondes, not the perky brunettes. I will maintain that, forever. Anyway, Us Weekly just seems to be saying the same thing – that Pippa and Harry are friendly, but that the “romance” is a no-go.

Did Pippa and Harry go on a secret date? Why did she leave her boyfriend? And is he REALLY over Chelsy? We fell in love with Pippa Middleton & Prince Harry‘s flirtation at the Royal Wedding, but now it seems like more and more obstacles are falling in the way of a romance between them! First off, it seems both parties are hung up on their exes. Harry, 26, recently broke things off with his girlfriend Chelsy Davy, although Us Weekly reports they’re still friendly.

“Chelsy and Harry are still very happy,” the source says. Also, although Pippa, 27, called things off with Alex Loudon, she’s been spending plenty of romantic time with another ex, the super-rich George Percy. Furthermore, even if Pippa and Harry were to get together, Pippa and Chelsy are friendly enough that any romance would cause waves between these BFFs. “Pippa is fairly chummy with Chelsy,” a source says. “So it would be a bit awkward if anything were going on with Harry.” But perhaps the biggest obstacle is that while Pippa and Harry have a good time joking together at royal functions, there simply isn’t too much opportunity for them to hang out! “While they are close in the sense that they are brother- and sister-in-law, they’re not hanging out like friends,” another source tells the magazine. Whatever the cost, we’re still holding hope that this beautiful pair will have a royal wedding of their own someday!

This goes back to the discussion I was having about Pippa earlier – just how pushy and ambitious is she? My take: Pippa is very, very ambitious. She wants to do as well as her sister, but that’s kind of impossible (because Kate will be queen one day). So for know Pippa’s ambitions are more attainable – like working her way back into a romance with the future Duke of Northumberland. She will not only be a duchess, she’ll have married “up” and married “rich”. She’ll get to wear pretty clothes and have her photo taken and she’ll be one of the titled women that gets invited to all of the functions where Kate will be. I say Pippa should just keep her eye on the ball and not mess with the Ginger Prince. He will only lead to heartbreak.

By the way, I love this photo of Harry tweaking his nipple. I love this kid so much.
