Pippa Middleton and her husband, James Matthews, have recently obtained approval for the construction of a new swimming pool and an AstroTurf tennis court at their opulent £15 million estate in Berkshire. Pippa, who captured hearts with her public debut at her elder sister's wedding, has demonstrated her remarkable ability to navigate the intricate regulations governing home improvements.
Their latest achievement is particularly remarkable, with the new pool measuring a substantial 82x9 feet, making it twice the size of a typical private pool, rivaled only by those found in leisure centers in Newbury and Hungerford. Pippa's accomplishments have garnered significant attention and, perhaps, a touch of envy, particularly from Meghan Markle, especially after Pippa omitted her from a wedding invitation.
Rumors have circulated that Meghan once pursued James Matthews before becoming involved with Prince Harry. Her trips to St. Barts and her attraction to the luxury, along with her affiliations with yacht clubs in this exclusive locale, have been documented. St. Barts is a magnet for the rich and famous, frequented by billionaires and notable figures. The absence of photographs featuring Meghan with friends from her 2014 trip to the island has fueled curiosity and raised questions.
The Matthews family is well-known for their connection to Pippa Middleton's husband, as they are the proprietors of the prestigious Eden Rock Resort in St. Barts. Meghan stayed at this resort with the intention of capturing the Matthews family's attention. Her goal was to find a wealthy British husband, and in 2014, James Matthews was unmarried.
James Matthews, now a hedge fund manager and the CEO of Eden Rock Capital Management, has accumulated significant wealth. He holds a substantial stake in Eden Capital and is on the verge of potentially becoming a billionaire. On the other hand, Pippa has assumed an aristocratic title, courtesy of her £50 million property portfolio. Interestingly, James Matthews is poised to inherit Glen Affric, an extensive 10,000-acre estate in Scotland, which will bestow upon Pippa the title of Lady of Glen Affric, adding a touch of nobility to her already impressive list of achievements.
