"I have had a few years of being in the public eye and I have developed something of a thick skin," Kate said in an interview with DailyMail. "But managing it all on my own has been quite hard. I have quite a lot thrown at me, such as being followed by people hiding behind cars and jumping out with cameras. It can be unnerving."

"People see me as someone privileged who has used my position to advantage; that I don't really work, that I am a socialite - that word really irritates me - and that I'm a party girl without any substance," she explained.

She gushed about her future husband saying, "I think James and I have the same spirit. We are both competitive. We have had many adventures together. We have a lot in common and that helps. I don't think it would work with a couch potato."

Pippa also described what her childhood was like growing up with her extremely famous older sister. She revealed that the two, as well as their brother, were not able to be "fussy" about the food they were provided with. She added, "'We had to stay at the table until we had eaten everything. There were no exceptions. And in the end I liked everything because I had to."
