Kate Middleton's photography ambition dashed by family firm

London, April 4 (ANI): It looks like the family of Prince William's girlfriend Kate Middleton isn't very respectful of her ambition to become a photographer.

Middleton was in the frame to be chief photographer for her family's children party supplies firm but has apparently lost out to a professional, reports the Daily Express.

It is believed that the 28-year-old has taken pictures of the party paraphernalia sold by Party Pieces, established by her parents Michael and Carole Middleton in 1987, but the action shots have been taken by professional photographer Millie Pilkington.

What's more, the Party Pieces online magazine, The Party Times, lauds Pilkington as 'our fabulous Party Pieces photo­grapher.'

Although Middleton is said to have a great deal of input into the design of the website, her photographic efforts have been confined to taking pictures of the mail order company's plastic plates, cups and cutlery ranges. (ANI)
