Duchess's sister in a feud with Berkshire neighbours over the path
Pippa Middleton is seldom involved in social scandals. British media now report that the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge has recently upset neighbours living near her multimillion-pound estate.
Pippa Middleton rose to fame following her role as a bridesmaid during Kate and William's wedding in 2011. Since then, the tabloids have regularly covered her activities.
Compared to her sister, Pippa leads a relatively quiet life. In 2017, she married James Matthews, an investment fund manager. The couple have three children. However, Pippa and James have allegedly become the main figures in a neighbourhood "scandal." What disturbed their idyll?
The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge is at odds with neighbours
According to the "Daily Mail," Pippa Middleton and James Matthews found themselves at the centre of a local conflict with village residents after they decided to close a path running through their estate, Barton Court in Berkshire. It should be noted that this is regarding a €17 million mansion with “30 bedrooms.” The family moved there in 2021.
The aforementioned path was previously accessible to residents because the former owner, Sir Terence Conran, allowed neighbours to use it freely. However, the new owners erected signs indicating "no entry" and "private property," which caused dissatisfaction among the local community.

Village residents express outrage at the couple's decision, claiming that their actions damage local relations and create a sense of separation. Pippa and James are criticised for lacking openness towards the local community and for introducing a division that, according to some residents, contradicts the spirit of kindness nurtured by Sir Conran.
The neighbourhood conflict has recently become a hot topic in the British media.
Do you think Pippa and her husband will change their minds?
