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.

Guest list dilemma for Holly
My spies saw Gordon Ramsay’s model daughter Holly, taking a breather from the Fashion Week whirlwind on Thursday to catch up with old friend Romeo Beckham over an intimate dinner.
With the Ramsays and Beckhams famously tight-knit, one wonders if the chat drifted to Romeo’s estranged brother Brooklyn?
The big question is: Will Brookyln reunite with his family for Holly’s Christmas wedding to swimmer Adam Peaty? Or will he stay in LA with his wife, while his old friends eat wedding cake without him…

Lady Bella weds her Latin lover Santiago
¡MUCHAS Felicidades! The Duke of Beaufort’s daughter has married her Mexican boyfriend, Santiago Santos, I can reveal.
Lady Isabella Elsa Somerset, 33, or Bella, is a bona-fide yogi, running retreats at Badminton House, the family seat on the edge of the Cotswolds.
But the estate is better known for the raucous parties thrown by her father, ‘Bunter’. The bon viveur even hosted Prince Harry at 16, who threw a girl into the pool.
Something tells me Bella’s wedding was more zen than that.

Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter Kiera recalls the first time she sat on the front row of a fashion show.

She has long held the reputation of a ‘society rebel’ after leaving her first husband for playwright Harold Pinter, so it is no surprise that Lady Antonia Fraser has admitted to attempted theft at one of the grandest palaces in Europe.
While visiting Versailles to research her book about Marie Antoinette, she confessed she was ‘determined to dig up a plant and take it home and plant it in my little garden’.
But when the glamorous 93-year-old failed to distract her guide, she conceded that she was trying to steal a floral souvenir behind his back.
‘The man said ‘That’s no problem. We’ve got a shop’,’ Lady Antonia laughs. ‘I was absolutely furious.’

He may have been linked to actress-of-the-moment Sydney Sweeney – but whispers reach me that it was a mystery London girl who caught the eye of Top Gun: Maverick heartthrob Glen Powell, while he was filming in the capital.
However, I’m told the Hollywood hotshot ended things – via text, no less – after an eventful evening at Kensington Roof Gardens.
His ex wasted no time moving on, directly messaging Will Poulter – the handsome actor tipped as the next James Bond – on Instagram and securing a date.
It’s not just fictional fighter pilots who move fast!

Gary Barlow was left steaming at Notting Hill’s trendy Hagen cafe after a barista committed the ultimate celebrity faux pas: calling him by his first name.
The Take That star flashed a frothy side-eye as his coffee was handed over with a cheerful ‘Gary!’
He was desperate to go incognito but with one name-drop it was Back For Good to being recognised.
