Olympic probe of Pippa

LONDON — Olympic organizers are investigating whether Pippa Middleton and her family are illegally selling unofficial merchandise.

A ring-toss game and other items featuring Olympic-style rings are available online from Party Pieces, owned by the family of Prince William’s wife, Kate Middleton.

Such sales could breach the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act, passed in 2006.

“We’re going to have a look at it,” said organizing committee spokeswoman Jackie Brock-Doyle.

It’s also illegal to use the line “backing the 2012 Games” or “supporting the London Games.”
