The party theme was “racy,” according to the Daily Mail. Matthews was once a professional racing driver but made his money as a hedge fund manager. The bash, which was held and James and Pippa’s Berkshire home, reportedly kept locals in the quiet village up until the early hours of the morning, leading some to criticize the “entitled” and “inconsiderate” behavior.
“I thought this might happen when Pippa moved in. People with money,” one local to the Daily Mail. Allegedly, the party caused a disturbance until 1:30 am with loud music booming from the 145-acre estate.
“It’s common courtesy and respect,” another local said. “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.”
In addition to Kate and William, the party was reportedly attended by the former boss of Red Bull F1, Christian Horner, and his wife, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. James’ younger brother, Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, reportedly attended with his wife, Vogue Williams.
Pippa, who is a year younger than 43-year-old Kate, married James in 2017. They share three children: a son, Arthur Michael William, born in 2018, and daughters, Grace Elizabeth Jane and Rose Louise Victoria who were born in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The family purchased their £15 million property in 2022.
