It’s been a tumultuous 2026 for Pippa Middleton and her husband, James Matthews, after the couple sold their business, Bucklebury Farm Park, due to $1.1 million debts. But the couple’s expansive Berkshire, England estate, known as Barton Court, has been at the center of a local controversy ever since the Matthews family bought the property in 2022.
Local residents were used to walking down a footpath that cut through James and Pippa’s 145-acre estate, but after they bought Barton Court, the couple put up “no trespassing” signs and blocked access to the lane.
