Even by 2008, she was already considered a socialite in her home country, often appearing in publications with various celebrities. In 2010, she served as her sister’s maid of honor during her wedding to Prince William; her name and appearance at the wedding became well-publicized in media throughout the world.

Furthering her career as a writer, she has been a columnist for multiple publications, like The Spectator, Waitrose Kitchen, Vanity Fair and The Sunday Telegraph. In 2013, she became the sole director and shareholder of PXM Enterprises Limited. In 2016, Middleton became engaged to James Matthews, a professional racing driver turned hedge fund manager, marrying the following year. As Matthews is the son and heir of David Matthews, the Laird of Glen Affric, Middleton could obtain the courtesy title of Lady Glen Affric if her husband inherits his father’s lairdship.
