Kate and William were close guests at James Matthews’ 50th birthday party – Pippa Middleton’s husband – but this lavish party was complained by neighbors because it was too noisy.

The party was hosted by Kate’s sister, Pippa, 42, at her private residence in Berkshire, the Daily Mail reported on September 20. In addition to Williams and Kate, the private event also featured former Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell and her husband Christian Horner, brother-in-law Spencer Matthews and wife, Vogue Williams.

The theme of the party – speed – was inspired by the passion for racing of James Matthews, a former British driver and member of the Williams Racing F1 team board. The party began with the flight of World War II-era Spitfire fighter jets in the sky. Although it brought a happy atmosphere to the attendees, the event received many complaints from neighbors of Pippa and his wife. They are worried that their pets will be frightened by the noise of the engine. The music also lasts until dawn, making many people uncomfortable.

Pippa and James bought their own mansion in West Berkshire in 2022, near William and Kate’s Adelaide Cottage home in Windsor. They married in 2017 and now have three children: Arthur, 6, Grace, 4, and Rose, 3.

On the side of Kate – the Princess of Wales – has returned to public life after announcing her recovery from cancer in September 2024. She said that the post-treatment recovery process is still difficult, but expressed optimism when entering a new phase with her family.
