The future Queen's sister Pippa Middleton has caused uproar in her village after she threw a wild 50th birthday party for her billionaire husband, James Matthews, I can reveal.
Furious neighbours in her sleepy Berkshire village berated the Princess of Wales's sister for her 'entitled' and 'inconsiderate' behaviour that kept them awake into the small hours.
I'm told the noise began in the afternoon with an elaborate Spitfire display over the grand house, much to the dismay of locals who were 'concerned' that the roar of the engines would upset their dogs.
'I thought this might happen when Pippa moved in. People with money,' one fed-up local tells me. Another claims that the boisterous party disturbed them until 1.30am with music booming from the 145-acre estate last Saturday night.
'It's common courtesy and respect,' continues another. 'There are a lot of very nice people who have a lot of money, but this is about entitlement. I'm a night owl and I do like parties but I'm also aware of others. They could easily have had a silent disco.'
I hear the party's theme was 'racy', which could have been a nod to hedge fund financier James's dalliance with Formula One. It was rumoured former boss of Red Bull F1, Christian Horner, and wife Geri Halliwell were among the guests, as well as James's brother Spencer and wife Vogue Williams. It's thought Pippa's sister Kate and Prince William were also there.

I know the UK isn’t the US, but in the US you simply call the police. They show up, give a warning that the party is causing a disturbance and either shut it down or have the host tone it down.
If the noise continues, especially late at night, then they shut it down.
I wish I had a billionaire husband.
This is the best royal adjacent non story. I love it. Also: I live in a neighborhood where it’s fireworks a lot! So fun! It actually cracks me up.
Ho hum. I experience this in on occasion in a regular old suburban neighborhood (not the Spitfires). Not saying it’s a good thing, but it’s hardly news.
How did I miss that her husband is a billionaire?? The Firm/Middleton PR machine kills me—the Middletons are just like us! But with billionaires!
> music booming from the 145-acre estate
If neighbors were disturbed by the music, either:
* The main house is far too close to the village, when it could have been built deeper into that giant estate, or
* Some of those rich people are going to have permanent hearing damage.
Brits really do complain about anything.
A loud, racy, part with spitfires and Ginger Spice herself?
Sounds amazing. Keep living the dream Pippa.
Also the comment about a “silent disco” is maybe the low key funniest thing.
I don’t know enough about life in the UK to know whether they were out-of-line or if this is a non-story, but I guess the good news for the neighbors here is that Pippa has lived there for 3 years, this is the only event she had that they are complaining about, and the next milestone birthday is still a while away. 🤷🏻♀️
How is 145 acres a not big enough border from your neighbors? FFS. It’s one party.
come on – a fly past by a Spitfire would be amazing and have everybody out watching and cheering.
the “source” is clearly miffed not to have been invited.
This headline is so old man shaking fist
what is a silent disco? what century is that person in?
Sorry the neighbors were pissed but that sounds hella fun! 😉
Can you imagine if Meghan had done this 🥴
Damn they should’ve invited the neighbors. They sound jealous lol
