Now the teenage pop star appears to have made a business deal with the Middleton family.
Party Pieces, the website owned by the Middletons, has recently won a lucrative deal to sell Justin Bieber merchandise.
It is one of a number of new lines being sold through the website in the last few weeks including Disney’s Toy Story 3 and Nintendo’s Super Mario.
Bieber watched the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and was taken not only by the bride but also by her bridesmaid, Pippa.
Like many others he tweeted about Miss Middleton’s comely appearance informing his 10 million followers: “Congrats to William and Kate...and Kate’s sister.”
And the Middletons, it seems, are just as taken with him.
Their online newspaper The Party Times, which is produced by Miss Middleton, announced: “We’ve got Bieber fever.”
Representatives for the Canadian singer confirmed that Party Pieces would be selling the Justin Bieber Party Kit, along with other items.
The set costs £20.89 and includes plates, cups, napkins, banner and balloons for up to 16 guests.
Cheaper alternatives include a pack of four badge necklaces for £1.99 and a pack of decorative award ribbons for £2.25. A pinata is also for sale for £13.99.
The Party Times article said: “Teenage girls around the world go crazy for Bieber. In fact, they love Justin Bieber so much that the op star now has his very own party-ware.”
The article goes on to give red carpet tips on “pop star” dress cards and how to turn your father into a fake paparazzi photographer.
It is thought that Party Pieces has seen a significant increase in business since the royal wedding, particularly from America.
