The final figure might even be higher. "We're talking about two or three first-class round-trip airline tickets from London, plus five-star hotel accommodation while she's here. If you email me all the details about your event we will forward them to her." An official spokesman for Pippa - sister-in-law of future king Prince William - promised an immediate investigation, adding: "This company does not represent my client and has no authority to make these claims about her on thier website. We will be contacting them about this issue."
