I have two siblings … and, of course, the accompanying angst of growing up between an older brother that would do anything my mother asked him to do and a younger sister my parents considered to be perfect. Both have had their moments in the sun, and sometimes the shadows they cast were quite long.
However, beyond pretty intense envy from my position as the family’s black sheep, the accolades loaded on my sibs didn’t really impact me. If anything, it was my sister who suffered a bit of reverse discrimination when teachers who’d had me in class saw her name and rolled their eyes, assuming they had another Katie on their hands (my brother went to private school, so I set the tone for the family name).
Which leads me to Pippa Middleton, a young lady who wowed the world with her grace and class at her sister Kate’s recent wedding …
