Pippa Middleton and James Matthews face eye-watering debts after home renovation
Princess Kate’s sister and brother-in-law, Pippa Middleton and James Matthews, could be in hot water financially.
The duo have reportedly rakced up over six figures worth of debt every year since purchasing the property.
The husband and wife team bought the property for around £1.3 million in 2021.
Bucklebury Farm is a sprawling piece of land.
It is made up of 72 acres, a dear and safari park, a soft-player area, play park, glamping facilities and even a cafe.
The farm is even said to have animals available to pet.
Despite hosting a variety of events and being a reported hub of activity, as per recent claims, Pippa and James allegedly got themselves into £807,543 worth of debt in 2025.

Evidently, the couple failed to make the farm a profitable business. Ultimately, they have thrown in the towel, as per reports.
According to HELLO, the couple applied last year for permission to build a nursery on the site for children aged between nine months and five years.
However, this didn’t exactly go to plan.
Pippa and James’s project plans
Their request was initially approved but later was questioned by the local highways authority.
They raised “significant concerns” about the excess cars in the area that could accumulate due to the new project.
The couple reportedly tried their best to ensure the plan came to fruition. They said that opening the nursery was “essential to securing the farm’s future, enabling it to remain open to the public and continue offering educational and recreational opportunities for the community”.
Despite their attempts, their request was refused.
Not only that, but the establishment was said to have garnered complaints from locals.
As per the Daily Mail, locals criticised Pippa and James’s efforts.
They were said to be unhappy about increasing ticket prices and described the business as a “snooty cash grab”.
The Middleton’s live nearby
Bucklebury Farm was just one part of Pippa’s unbelievable £15 million, 150-acre estate in Berkshire.
Her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton also live nearby.
They live at Bucklebury Manor, a jaw-dropping Grade II-listed Georgian £4.5 million property.
The home boasts seven-bedrooms and even played host to Pippa and James’s wedding reception in 2017.
Pippa and Kate’s brother James also lives nearby.
He lives in a £1.45 million countryside home with wife Alizée Thevenet and their son Inigo.
Representatives for Bucklbury Farm have been contacted for comment.
