"Pippa Middleton has reportedly been offered a job on NBC&amp;#039;s The Today Show in the US. The Duchess of Cambridge&amp;#039;s sister is said to have entered negotiations with NBC executives over a possible royal correspondent position, reports The Mirror.  The party planner will be offered around $600,000 (\u00A3400,000) for up to 20 appearances a year on the network&amp;#039;s flagship morning show. NBC were reportedly unsure whether or not to hire Middleton, after her book Celebrate didn&amp;#039;t sell as well as predicted in the US. However, their interest is said to have returned following her sister&amp;#039;s pregnancy news. If she were to sign a contract, Pippa Middleton will reportedly cover royal events such as the Chelsea Flower Show and the public opening of Buckingham Palace, rather than personal stories involving royalty.  A source said: &amp;quot;NBC senior figures will bill this job to Pippa as a special \u00ADcorrespondent in 2013. They see her appeal as huge, as she is linked to the Royal Family, and because of her popularity following the wedding when pictures of her went worldwide. &amp;quot;A couple of offers are on the table, but they would like her to make as many as 20 appearances reporting on Royal-themed events like the Chelsea Flower Show, the opening of Buckingham Palace and Opera House nights. &amp;quot;She will not focus on intimate Royal matters like Wills and Kate&amp;#039;s move to London, Harry&amp;#039;s return from war and the family Christmas. &amp;quot;The offer gives Pippa the chance to have editorial input on what she says, and, as most of this work would be pre-\u00ADrecorded, she would not be caught out.&amp;quot; Pippa Middleton&amp;#039;s sister Catherine is scheduled to make her first public appearance since her pregnancy announcement at tonight&amp;#039;s (December 16) BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
