Fashion tycoon John Robinson, who employed Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has actually won a three-year battle to host weddings at his Cotswolds estate.

The multi-millionaire founder of fashion chain Jigsaw needed to overcome objections from residents about sound pollution and congested roadways. He was offered four months' notification in 2022 to stop hosting events at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public inquiry, Robinson, 77, has been granted approval to continue hosting occasions on the stretching 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged vows with rugby player Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is pleased at the grant of planning authorization,' a spokesman states.

When Robinson purchased Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and 3 homes. But the magnate extended the estate, purchasing 250 acres of surrounding land, and building an orangery with 2 bedrooms and an indoor swimming pool.

He married now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson registered company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and started hosting events.

Neighbours complained about traffic, music and firework screens lasting into the small hours and stated the estate did not have consent for 'modification of use' in order to host wedding events.

After 2 planning applications and an appeal, planning consent has now been approved based on a series of conditions to manage noise and address highway safety issues.

No cut costs for Stella's clan

You may believe the name McCartney would open doors and curry favours - specifically for a relation of Sir Paul.

But comedienne Sophie McCartney, a cousin of the former Beatle, states it does not cut any ice with Sir Paul's daughter, designer Stella.

'When I was more youthful, my Nana took me to Paris due to the fact that I wished to be a fashion designer as I was doing textiles GCSE,' says Sophie.

'We went to drop in Stella. She was at Chloe at the time. I did get some sunglasses and a Chloe [bag] But that's it.

'But no I have actually never ever had any Stella McCartney discount.

'I 'd take 25 (percent).'

She knocked Hugh Grant's character flat out after being jilted in Four Weddings And A Funeral, and 'duckface' Anna Chancellor is practically as pugnacious in reality.

And eight minutes is taken up with what you have actually stated the day previously. I'm anxious I'm going to misdiagnose someone, so please could you stop?'
