Princess Kate Receives Disappointing News as Sister Pippa Faces £15.5m Estate Setback

Pippa Matthews has been ordered to remove an unauthorised car park at her £15.5 million estate in Berkshire, following a planning dispute that has caused frustration among local residents. The younger sister of Princess Kate and her husband, hedge fund manager James Matthews, are facing a setback after West Berkshire Council rejected their attempt to secure retrospective planning permission for the development at Barton Court. The couple purchased the 145-acre estate in 2022. The property, formerly owned by designer Sir Terence Conran, has since become the centre of a dispute over changes made to the surrounding countryside. Around 400 square metres of hard standing were laid on a former paddock to create a private parking area for anglers using the estate's fishing facilities. However, the work was carried out without planning permission. The development reportedly upset villagers, who were concerned that a stretch of meadowland near the entrance to their village had been transfor #Royals #RoyalFamily #news
