Pippa Middleton has completed her Swedish ski challenge for UK charity, Magic Breakfast, in good time…
Pippa Middleton has raised more than £9,000 for the charity Magic Breakfast that provides free breakfasts for deprived school kids across the UK.

Pippa Middleton was in familiar company, however, with many royals attending the race including HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and HRH Prince Carl Philip of Sweden.
Pippa Middleton is no stranger to fundraising either having previously raised funds for the charity, Breakthrough Breast Cancer, which supports breast cancer awareness and research.
