Pippa Middleton has landed in the middle of a firestorm following her weekend spent hobnobbing with three rich French bachelors.
A photographer chasing the Audi convertible carrying the four pals through the streets of Paris captured a real money shot … a photo of the driver pointing a gun at the man snapping images from behind their vehicle.
British newspaper The Sun broke the story on Sunday and pointed out the obvious, the fact that the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge was smiling broadly as she and the man with the pistol looked back at the approaching paparazzi.
A complaint was filed and will be investigated by the Paris Judicial Police. The man pointing the gun in the photo could face arrest and two years of imprisonment even if the gun turns out to be a fake.
It seems unlikely Ms. Middleton will face any charges for being a party to the incident but the stunt has put her in the middle of some unwelcome publicity.
Check out the photo that has the world buzzing today.
