Pippa and Nico Jackson have taken another holiday, this time a skiing holiday in the Austrian Alps (they were joined by his grandparents, wtf?).  Seriously, girl needs to stop vacationing and get a job.  And Nico needs to quit following Pip around and get back to whatever job he supposedly has.  I’m pretty sure they’ve taken more vacations recently than Kate.

The headline, and indeed a bunch of royal reporters on Twitter, is making a big deal out of the fact that it looks like Nico is staring at Pippa’s bum in one of the pictures.  Well, I don’t think he is.  It looks to me like he’s staring at whatever he’s picking off of his pants.  But whatever.

Is it me or so the royals—and royal adjacent—love the skiing photo op?  There have been a lot of them over the years, and recently.  Will and Kate always did the skiing photo op, Harry and Chelsy, Harry and Cressida, the Yorks, The Wessexes, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Pippa and Nico, Charles and Camilla have done the ski thing too I think.  It really seems like the thing to do.  And a way to announce an official relationship—didn’t Will and Kate do the announcement photo op at a ski resort?  Seems so strange.  I’m used to the Hollywood celeb way of coffee shop pics and opening of an envelope red carpet ops.  I guess the ski resort photo op is much classier.  Except when Nico hams it up for the paps.  Lol.

So back to Pippa and Nico, what do you think, are they going to get engaged, married?  They’ve teased that in the press for a good 6-8 months now, but no official announcement has been made.  Clearly Nico doesn’t mind the famewhoring.  I think he probably likes being a public figure—at least as much of a public figure as dating a Lesser Middleton can make him.
