The move of Princess Kate Middleton’s younger sister to a quiet Berkshire village immediately raised concerns among locals. Living next door to a former socialite didn’t seem too peaceful, and soon their worries came true. Pippa Middleton decided to throw a lavish celebration for her billionaire husband James Matthews’ 50th birthday. Just how much noise Kate Middleton’s sister made—you’ll find out on Luxe.
The birthday bash was truly grand: a parade of legendary Spitfire fighter planes flew over the village, and the party itself drew a host of famous guests. Among them were former Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner with his wife Geri Halliwell, the birthday boy’s brother Spencer Matthews with his wife Vogue Williams, and even the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge—Kate and Prince William.
However, the local residents were left frustrated. Loud music from the 59-hectare estate blasted until nearly 2 a.m., disturbing the peace of the entire village, according to neighbors.
“It’s about common courtesy and respect. There are plenty of very nice people who have lots of money, but the problem is they think they’re entitled to do this. I love parties, but I also understand others. They could easily have had a quiet disco,” added one of the Middletons’ neighbors.
