Just three months after tying the knot with billionaire financier James Matthews, British socialite Pippa Middleton has decided to close PXM Enterprises Limited, the company that handled her "publishing activities." This includes her party-planning book, Celebrate, and her contributions to Waitrose magazine. It's a bold move that signals a fresh start for the Duchess of Cambridge's sister.
At the age of 34, Pippa has decided to shut down her business after only four years of operation. According to the Daily Mail, she filed an application in late August to have PXM removed from her register at Companies House. Before launching PXM, Pippa, who studied English Literature at Edinburgh University, worked in various writing roles. Her career path has been nothing short of eclectic, and this decision marks yet another significant chapter in her life.
After graduating, Pippa spent some time in public relations before diving into the world of online publishing. She began self-editing the online magazine Party Times, which laid the groundwork for her future endeavors. However, her career took a dramatic turn after her older sister, Kate Middleton, married Prince William. Pippa was offered a $515,000 publishing deal to write her widely criticized party-planning book. As many royal fans will recall, Celebrate received mixed reviews, with critics pointing out its lack of original advice. Despite the criticism, Pippa continued to build her career and expand her horizons.

Pippa’s Writing Career: A Journey Through Words
Even after the lukewarm reception of her book, Pippa continued to pursue her passion for writing. From 2012 to 2014, she contributed to the U.K. magazine The Spectator, and in 2015, she even had a column in Vanity Fair. Now, with those writing gigs behind her and her new life as a billionaire’s wife, it seems like Pippa is ready to take a step back and focus on other aspects of her life. But don't worry—she's not stepping away entirely.
Philanthropy: Pippa’s Heartfelt Commitment
While Pippa may be stepping away from her business ventures, her dedication to philanthropy remains unwavering. She supports a variety of charities, including the British Heart Foundation. In 2016, she released her first cookbook, Heartfelt, and donated all proceeds to the organization. Her commitment to fighting heart disease is evident in her work, and it’s a cause she holds close to her heart.
In Heartfelt, Pippa shares her personal journey and the importance of family in her life. "I heart family," she writes. "My mother always says preparing a healthy and tasty meal for the family is one of life’s greatest pleasures—and pressures." She acknowledges the challenges of maintaining a balanced family life, where even the most enthusiastic cooks can struggle to come up with new ideas week after week. It’s a sentiment that resonates with many, and her book offers a refreshing take on family meals.
