Kate & Pippa Middleton, movies, music and more on DStv this week!

DStv packs an exciting lineup for viewers across Africa this week. From a special feature on Kate Middleton and her sexy sister, Pippa to MTV Story Tellers with soul singer Maxwell, there is excitement for the whole family that is not to be missed.

Check out the highlights:

THS Kate & Pippa: Ever since the fairytale wedding of Prince William to ‘commoner’ Kate Middleton, public scrutiny and fascination has shifted from the royal couple to Kate’s family, especially her oh-so-eligible sister, Pippa.  This one-hour THS will tell all about Pippa, and explore the humble beginnings of Kate and Pippa’s parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, who met while both were working as airline employees.  There’s also James, the party-animal brother who seems to favour being photographed semi- and fully nude.  James probably takes after the siblings’ tattooed uncle, Gary Goldsmith, who was caught on tape in 2009 chopping up lines of cocaine and boasting of his ties to the Royals.  And of course, Kate’s own story will be featured, as we learn how her intriguing family helped shape this Duchess of Cambridge. Watch it on Thursday 24 November at 22:00 CAT.
