NBC is sure working hard to get in good with the royal family. First the network scored an exclusive interview last summer with Pippa Middleton, and that went so well that Kate Middleton's sister is now said to be in contention for a spot with The Today Show as a lifestyles correspondent. Now we are hearing that Today is also working hard to try and secure the first joint American interview with Middleton and her husband, Prince William.
We told you the other day that the young couple is planning to travel to the States in a few weeks and will be spending time in New York City. There is also a pretty good chance that little Prince George will be traveling with them, and it is an opportunity that NBC is dying to take full advantage of. ABC is also supposedly vying for a similar interview, but because of Pippa's connection with Today, it seems more likely that they would agree to grant that morning show their first interview.
The trip to the States might be one of the duchess's last, overseas, royal engagements before settling in to her final trimester and preparing for the birth of her second child. She has reportedly recovered from several weeks of severe morning sickness and is enjoying finally being able to leave the palace to do anything. A successful trip to NYC would be a great way for Middleton and William to end their year.
Do you think the young couple is even considering doing a joint interview with anyone at this point in time? Pippa's Today show chat raked in major ratings, so can you imagine the numbers if viewers are given the opportunity to hear from Middleton? NBC would be crazy not to try and work out a deal, don't you think?
