Description: Pippa Middleton and James Matthews have won a legal battle to keep a private drive on their country estate off-limits to the public, blocking a footpath that walkers had long used — a victory they say was essential for family security amid their high-profile lives. The planning inspector sided with them, finding insufficient evidence to legally recognize the route as a public right of way, despite claims from the West Berkshire Ramblers that it’s been in use for generations. Matthews noted the drive was never designated as public in legal documents and saw minimal public use since he bought the property. This isn’t their first brush with controversy — just last month, they were ordered to remove a car park deemed visually jarring against the protected landscape.
