Pippa Middleton was recently named Vanity Fair’s newest contributing editor and Kate Middleton’s sister, who turned heads and impressed fashion critics at the royal wedding, once told her family, “if I had to get married, it would be in my tennis whites – shorts with no pleats or frills.”

“I first went to Wimbledon when I was eight years old and already a very keen tennis player,” the royal aunt-to-be writes in her first dispatch for the Vanity Fair.

“During this first trip I acted on my childish tennis dreams and bought myself a postcard of the women’s championship trophy, on which I wrote, ‘I will win this one day,’ with my signature below.”

She wrote on her first Vanity Fair column that she was quite a tomboy growing up. It was her love for tennis and lack of interest in dresses that brought up the tennis whites comment.

The London-based writer and author of “Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends” has a written a personal guide to the oldest tennis tournament in the world for Vanity Fair.

The piece is her first in a series of columns for the publication.

Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair, said “We’re delighted to have Pippa as a contributor to Vanity Fair.”

"She's a keen observer of classic British pastimes. She is also an avid sportswoman, and we look forward to her take on traditional English pursuits, beginning with Wimbledon."

Pippa Middleton also wrote about the highlights of her tennis-going experience. “Queuing from five A.M. on ‘People’s Sunday’ in 2004 with my sister for three hours and getting £35 tickets on Centre Court; my first time ever,” she writes.

“Seats were a free-for-all—and I recall almost tripping over myself trying to get as close as possible to my birthday-twin British hero Tim Henman.”

The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge shares a birthday with former British No. 1’s Henman and Greg Rusedski, according to Vanity Fair.

The new contributing editor also had a short Q&A with Roger Federer, getting an “exclusive” on what he had for breakfast and asking if the men’s and women’s champions have to dance together at the Wimbledon-ball after-party. The answer to the latter is no.

Pippa’s first Vanity Fair article will debut in the July 13 issue of Vanity Fair, featuring movie star Channing Tatum on the cover.
