Meghan had reportedly requested the use of Pippa's lavish £30,000 Berkshire residence, which is situated beyond the strict limits imposed on Prince Harry's interactions with the royal family. The relationship between Prince Harry and the royal family had deteriorated to the extent that he encountered difficulties securing accommodations during his visits to the UK. This situation forced Harry and Meghan to vacate their Frogmore residence under certain restraining orders issued by King Charles, leaving them without a home in England.
Prince Harry was informed that, in the wake of the strained relations, he would need to make advanced arrangements if he wished to stay at a royal residence or visit King Charles while in the UK. His previously unrestricted access and lodging arrangements have been curtailed, reflecting King Charles's determination to enforce stricter rules. Harry is contemplating purchasing a property near the royal residence where King Charles resides, although this endeavor is reportedly challenging due to the limited availability of houses in London and Berkshire, as most are owned by other affluent families.
Insiders have confirmed long-standing tensions between Pippa Middleton and Meghan Markle. Pippa had reservations about allowing Meghan back into her sister Kate's life due to the troubles and controversies Meghan had caused over the years.
Pippa Middleton and her husband, James Matthews, recently acquired a magnificent country house in the UK's royal county of Berkshire. This Georgian mansion, secured through a private off-market sale, is currently undergoing an extensive multi-million-pound restoration by the previous owner. The house boasts approximately 30 rooms and sits on spacious grounds encompassing around 150 acres, featuring a river, walled garden, and conservatory.
In addition to their new Berkshire residence, Pippa Middleton and James Matthews also own a luxurious villa worth £17 million with five floors. They currently reside in a mansion in Chelsea, West London. Furthermore, James's father, Dave Matthews, manages a 30,000-acre estate called Glen Affric, and the family owns the Eden Rock Resort on the Caribbean island of St. Barts.
Pippa's new home conveniently places her just a short drive away from her family's Bucklebury Manor and her sister Kate's residence in Anmer Hall. Pippa is looking forward to being closer to her family and engaging in charitable activities. James Matthews, an investment banker with a strong commitment to local community support, expressed his satisfaction with their position in Berkshire and their anticipation of spending quality time with loved ones while engaging in charitable endeavors.
Furthermore, James Matthews has undertaken an upgrade to Bucklebury Farm, which he purchased for £1.5 million. He is investing £800,000 to introduce a children's attraction called "Prince George's Favorite Petting Zoo" on the 72-acre estate. The estate is home to a diverse range of animals, including deer, goats, alpacas, Shetland ponies, rare Berkshire pigs, and even a Santa's grotto for the upcoming Christmas season.
