SHE may be sisters with the future Queen of England, but Pippa Middleton has a swanky life of her own.

As well as living in a £15million Berkshire house, she also co-owns Bucklebury Farm which could soon have a new business venture opening.

The farm did a post about the possible opening of a nursery for kids aged nine months to five-years-old[/caption]

A message posted on the official Bucklebury Farm Instagram account earlier this month read: “Bucklebury Farm is considering opening a nursery for children aged 9 months to 5 years. 

“If you’re interested, please feel free to DM us or email nursery@buckleburyfarm.co.uk to stay updated. 

“We’d also love to hear your thoughts and suggestions – let us know what you think.”

The couple bought the 72-acre Bucklebury Farm in Berkshire back in October 2020 for £1.5million, and they now run it with business partner James Murray.

The location was previously a deer safari park, but they have since transformed it to have glamping pods and to be a kid’s attraction with ziplines, a petting zoo and a play area

There are more than 160 animals, including rabbits, goats, donkeys, pigs and chickens.

Last year, Richard Eden wrote in the Mail that they had plans to expand it further.

He shared: “Carole’s son-in-law, James Matthews, bought Bucklebury Farm in Berkshire for £1.5million in 2020. 

“Now, I hear, he’s opening its lodge for parties, as well as events and even Pilates.”

Pippa and her husband have previously been spotted at the farm, along with Kate Middleton and her kids.

The farm is just minutes from their £5m family home in Berkshire.

Kate and William are still regular visitors to the Middleton family home and are known to take trips to the local boozer the Boot Inn.

In fact Prince George spent his first few weeks in Bucklebury rather than Kensington Palace.

If Pippa – who is estimated to be worth £43million – does open a nursery at the farm, her two youngest children could attend, Grace, three, and Rose, one.

They also have son Arthur, five, who has started school.

This follows Pippa and Kate’s mum Carole Middleton running her Party Pieces business, after she realised she could make some money from creating party bags.

She grew the firm into a multi-million-pound business, which helped fund her kids attending the elite boarding school Marlborough College.

It wasn’t such a fairytale ending for Party Pieces, however, which was  badly hit by Covid restrictions.

In April 2023, the company called in advisers at restructuring firm Interpath to try to raise fresh funds for the business.

However, the family decided to move on from the company and in May 2023 the business sold in a pre-package deal to the Essex-based entrepreneur James Sinclair.

Philippa Middleton, known to most as Pippa, is the middle child of the three Middleton children – Catherine, Princess of Wales, and James William Middleton, an entrepreneur whose company sells cake-making kits for birthdays.

Pippa tied the knot with hedge fund manager James Spencer Matthews in 2017, who was born in August 1975 to parents David, who owns the luxury Eden Rock resort in St Barts in the Caribbean, and artist mother Jane.

Pippa and James met in 2006 on the Caribbean island of St Barts and had an on-off relationship before they became a steady couple in 2014.

James is the heir to the Scottish title of Laird of Glen Affric and his childhood was split between St Barts and Caunton Manor in Lincolnshire.

His younger brother is reality TV star Spencer Matthews, who made his name on the E4 show Made in Chelsea.

HOW did the bubbly receptionist from the iconic show Tattoo Fixers become a West End star?

Paisley Billings, 31, appeared in all six seasons of the hit E4 reality show about botched tattoos which ran from 2015 to 2019.

Since then, she swapped the screen for the stage as she took on the London West End starring in Six and the new Percy Jackson musical, The Lightning Thief.

She told the Metro: “I feel like if I’m on a stage, I’m living the dream. I feel like it wasn’t really known that I was always an actor.

“While I was [on Tattoo Fixers] I wasn’t acting at all. I think that’s what may have caused a little bit of confusion. I was a receptionist on TV, but I’ll be honest, I don’t know much about receptioning.”

But Paisley is no stranger to theatre as she appeared as young Nala in The Lion King when she was around 10 years old.

She is also a trained dancer, following extensive lessons in street and contemporary.

Despite now living her dream, Paisley admitted that Tattoo Fixers ending was very “bittersweet”.

She revealed: “I’d been doing it for such a long time and I really missed performing but it was also really, really sad to leave it behind.

“Obviously, Sketch and I being in it from the very beginning, we were pretty much like family by the end of it.

“So that was difficult, saying goodbye to the people, but I think it came at a time where I was ready for something new.”

Paisley also appeared on series one of Celebs Go Dating back in 2017.

She joined celebrities including Charlotte Crosby and Joey Essex on a popular E4 show.

The self-confessed “dating virgin” did manage to bag some dates, but fans were left in tears when she was dumped on the show.

After falling for handsome Corey, she couldn’t hold back tears when she was told that he didn’t want to have a second date with her.

Speaking about her dates in the future, Paisley told The Sun online that she definitely didn’t want anyone with a “s*** tattoo”.

Paisley can be now be seen in theatre show The Lightning Thief where she plays seven different characters.

It runs at The Other Palace in London and has been extended until August.

However, she hasn’t said goodbye to TV completely as she said: “If there’s a world in which there could be a musical comedy, or talk show vibes that would be quite fun.”

She teased: “Maybe a documentary here and there.”

A YOUNG mum has revealed the terrifying abuse she endured for five years at the hands of her TikTok influencer girlfriend after she secretly filmed her during a brutal attack.

Lauren Javens, 22, believed she was filming her own death as she captured Hollie Hanson spitting vile death threats as she strangled her.

But the act of bravery resulted in the influencer being caged for the years of torment she’d inflicted – including setting Lauren on fire and smashing vodka bottles over her head.

Hanson, a social media star who has racked up hundreds of thousands of views, was jailed last month after admitting to controlling and coercive behaviour, threats to kill and assault by beating.

Speaking about her horrific ordeal for the first time, Lauren told The Sun: “I want other people to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

“For five years Hollie convinced me that she was the only person that will ever love me in this world. But really that was manipulation.

“She was just abusing me all along. The person I loved was my abuser.

“If by speaking out I can help just one more person, then it is worth it.”

Hanson, 26, subjected Lauren to a brutal campaign of physical and emotional torment which began shortly after the pair first met in 2019.

Lauren was just 17 when 20-year-old Hollie banned her from using her phone, monitored her use of social media and stopped her from seeing friends and family.

Recounting her ordeal, Lauren said: “We got together straight away, as soon as we met.

“I’d just turned 17, and she was my first love. I’d always wanted to be with her – she was quite well-known to people I knew, so I was head over heels when we got together.

 “I just thought she couldn’t do anything wrong. Then she started changing when we moved in together.

“When she’d had a drink, she’d argue with me over irrelevant things. I never argued back because I thought it was just the drink.”

Hollie’s need for control quickly became apparent – Lauren was told that the couple would share just one phone.

She was told she couldn’t have her own social media profile and was ordered to hand over all her passwords.

She destroyed every connection I had – I was pregnant, alone, and completely dependent on her.

Lauren said: “This was three months into the relationship. I thought that’s what I needed to do to reassure her.

“Looking back, they were the first steps to controlling every part of my life.

“But I was so young and so in love with her at this point I couldn’t see it.”

Lauren described how Hollie quickly isolated her from family and friends, making her block their numbers and cutting her off completely.

When Hanson was jailed for driving offences in 2020, Lauren fell pregnant in a short-lived relationship.

The pair reconnected upon her release from jail with Hollie soon breaking her promise of a fresh start for the couple.

Lauren said: “She didn’t like that I had a child with someone else. The thought of my baby having a dad made her sick.

“She destroyed every connection I had – I was pregnant, alone, and completely dependent on her.

“She spent my pregnancy telling me I shouldn’t have the baby.

“She was always jealous and even when I was giving birth she was whispering in my ear ‘if this kid looks like his dad I’m leaving you’.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL TORTURE

One of the most shocking incidents came shortly after Lauren’s son Enzo was born in 2021.

She said: “When he was two weeks old, she burnt everything he owned.

“She threw it all in a fire bin in the garden – everything was gone. Every single thing he owned.”

The physical abuse sustained by Lauren saw her punched, beaten and even wounded.

In January 2020, Hanson assaulted Lauren with a vodka bottle, knocking her unconscious before slashing at her leg.

Too scared to report the incident, Lauren told medics at hospital that she had accidentally cut herself on a shard of glass.

Lauren said: “She knocked me clean out.

“When I came to, she was holding me in her arms, but I had four gashes on my legs from where she’d attacked me while I was unconscious.

“I thought if I told the doctors what really happened then I’d have nowhere to live – I relied on her for everything.”

In another incident, Hanson poured a jerry can of fuel on Lauren before setting it alight with a cigarette, causing her thigh-high boots to catch fire.

Lauren recalled: “She threw the last bit of her cigarette, and it hit the fuel and there were just flames up my legs.

“I managed to put them out but the boots literally melted to my legs.

“Luckily I had jeans on underneath and not just bare skin, because I’d definitely have scarring after that.”

The abuse wasn’t limited to physical violence.

Hollie destroyed Lauren’s belongings in fits of rage, cutting up her clothes and smashing her makeup.

On another occassion, Hanson hurled an air fryer across the kitchen because the Mexican chicken dish Lauren was cooking for dinner was not what she wanted to eat.

She threw the last bit of her cigarette, and it hit the fuel and there were just flames up my legs.

“Then she punched me in the face – one blow. I tell you, I had the two biggest black eyes you’ve ever seen in your life,” said Lauren.

“She even refused to let me into the flat sometimes. I’d have to walk the streets until she let me back in.”

Lauren revealed the psychological toll the relationship took on her. “She made me believe I needed her for everything – money, a roof, everything.

“She convinced me I was the problem for so long. I couldn’t cope without her, and she loved that. She knew I’d always go back.”

The breaking point came in September last year during a terrifying incident in which Hollie strangled Lauren while demanding to know who she had been texting.

By this point, Lauren was actively looking to leave the relationship.

She said: “I completely fell out of love with her. She was just horrible, she made me depressed, and I knew that she was the problem at this point.

“She’d convinced me I was the problem for so long. I got to a point where I knew that she was the problem.

“I gained contact with my family again, and she hated that, but I refused to give that up.

“I didn’t rely on her for anything anymore.”

LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT

Fearing for her life as Hollie charged towards her, Lauren reached for her phone and used muscle memory to unlock the device and record the attack.

She said: “She had her hands around my throat, only letting me breathe every few seconds.

“She said, ‘If you don’t tell me, I’m going to kill you. I’d rather kill you than let you be with anyone else.’ I genuinely thought I was going to die.

 “I thought if I die now, someone has to know what happened. I genuinely thought I was filming my own death.

“I could see something had switched in her eyes this time compared to every other attack that she’d ever done.

“I just knew that this time was different,” she added.

Hollie deleted the video from Lauren’s phone, but Lauren had already sent it to her aunt, who kept it as evidence.

The Sun has seen the harrowing footage but has chosen not to show it.

After enduring five years of abuse, Lauren finally escaped.

Hollie was later on the run for 18 days, posting videos on TikTok while hiding out at strangers’ houses before posting on the platform that she would hand herself in.

Now in a healthy relationship with her roofer partner James Javens, 29, Lauren is rebuilding her life and revealed she is pregnant with her second child.

She said: “I’m better now but it still haunts me every day. Five years of my life have just gone and I’ll never get that time back.

“I feel like I was kept captive for five years. “If I were to see someone I knew in the street or in a supermarket and even looked in their direction, she would flip.

“She’d scream in front of them. Honestly, it was just embarrassing. But I just put my head down and just walked on.

“Hollie would promise to change, and I believed her every single time because I wanted her to love me.

“Looking back now, I wasn’t loved, it was just manipulation.

“I couldn’t physically cope without her at all, but she loved that, so she knew that I’d go back to her in a heartbeat.

“My relationship with James is so healthy. He treats me like a princess and I know he will never hurt me.

“We’ve got our own home together so I’ve got stability which is something I’ve never had.”

MONSTER JAILED

Hanson was jailed for four years at Leeds Crown Court after admitting controlling and coercive behaviour, wounding without intent, intentional strangulation, threats to kill and assault by beating.

Judge Mushtaq Khokhar told Hanson: “You banned her from social media. You controlled her financially. You controlled her contact with her own child.

“You were so possessive and obsessed with her, and controlling, that on one occasion you burned her child’s clothing.

“On another occasion, you had poured a jerry can of fuel over her body and then you had thrown the cigarette to become alight.

“Mercifully, no injury was sustained from it but it could have been worse than it was.”

Describing Hanson as a “dangerous offender”, Judge Khokhar said: “It was a horrendous experience to undergo at the hands of someone you think you love.”

He added: “In my judgment, there’s nothing worse than controlling someone’s emotions, their movements and also preventing someone from associating with people that person wants to associate with.

“This behaviour consisted of controlling who she had contact with, who she could meet and who she could not meet. She had to report to you as to where she was at any given time. She could not use her phone at times without your permission.”

The court heard that Hanson has applied for a gender recognition certificate while on remand at HMP New Hall women’s prison.

She now wants to be known as Ryder Hanson with the pronouns ‘he/him’ and ‘they/them’.

Hanson was handed a lifetime restraining order to keep away from Lauren.

LOVE Island star Abi Moores has sparked romance rumours with newly-single Married At First Sight star Nathan Campbell.

The pair enjoyed a ‘date night’ on Sunday evening – despite it being reported that Abi was in advanced talks to be an All Stars bombshell.

Abi, 26, and Nathan, 24, looked comfortable in each other’s presence as they dined out at a Japanese restaurant.

The blonde star shared a Instagram video of them looking cosy while at the eatery.

She was seen pouting at the camera, while he flashed a big smile.

Nathan also shared the video on his Instagram story and wrote: “Lovely to see you,” with a heart and blushing face emoji.

The Sun revealed that Abi was in in advanced talks with ITV to jet out to South Africa as an All Stars bombshell.

The reality TV star is understood to have been involved in ongoing conversations with bosses who are keen to get her into the villa as the show reaches its halfway point.

A return to the villa could also prove dramatic with the blonde bombshell having a secret connection to one of the programme’s current All Stars that would send shockwaves throughout the Cape Town abode.

A source told The Sun: “Love Island bosses have been in talks with Abi about her signing up for the show.

“Nothing has been sealed just yet but conversations are ongoing as they think she’d be perfect to shake-up the villa at the halfway point.

“She was one of the stand-out stars from her series thanks to her messy love triangle drama and she’s guaranteed entertainment.

“Abi even has a hidden connection to one of the show’s current All Stars which could rock one steady couple if she were to head into the villa and secrets spilled out.”

The Sun understands Abi enjoyed a secret date with one of the current Islanders just weeks before they flew out to take part in the programme.

Abi was involved in a messy love triangle during her first stint on the programme after forming a connection with Mitchell Taylor.

It was here that the Sheffield lad gained the nickname Messy Mitch after he began forming a connection with fellow show beauty Ella Barnes on the side.

Meanwhile, MAFS star Nathan recently told The Sun why he and Lacey Martin split.

Shortly after their break-up was revealed, Lacey spoke to The Sun and told us that she feared Nathan was “faking” the romance the whole time, just for the cameras.

However, now Nathan has broken his silence on the break-up and revealed that he is in fact the one who has been left “brokenhearted”.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: “Things weren’t the same off the show, it was very different.

“I’d always have to go there, she wouldn’t come to see me – those kind of arguments. I’m not too sure, things were quite different after the show.

“When you’re together, you’re 100 per cent in the same place.

“But after the experiment there was a big distance there.”

Asked who’s idea it was to break-up, Nathan said: “She decided, she said let’s just be friends.”

Speaking about how he was feeling post break-up, Nathan said: “I’m scared to date again, I want to but my hearts still broken.

“I definitely do want to date again but there’s no one yet.”

Lacey also spoke to The Sun last night and she told us: “I left him [Nathan] in 2024, to me this is a new slate. I am single.

“He’s not worth it. I’m just doing my thing, I believe in the universe, if I’m meant to meet someone then I will.”

A MUM has hit back after being judged for still sharing a room with her five-year-old son.

Levi explained that she’s always had her little boy in her room – despite the fact they do have space for him to have his own in their council house, as they could transform their living room.

And while she knows that some people will have something to say about their sleeping arrangement, Levi insisted she’s still thoroughly enjoying them sharing a room.

“So a lot of people think it’s weird that I won’t give my 5 year old his own room and we actually share a bedroom,” Levi began her TikTok video.

“Let’s talk about it.”

Insisting it’s “not normalised enough”, Levi pointed out that there are a lot of families in similar situations.

And, instead of having to sacrifice their living room by turning it into her son’s bedroom, Levi came up with a “space saving way” for both of them to share the bedroom.

She added that she’s “not being selfish”, but pointed out her little boy “doesn’t want to sleep alone”.

“So why would I then deprive him of having a living space by sleeping in there?” she asked.

Levi added that growing up in a two-bedroom house, and sharing a room with her brother when they were little, made her realise she actually prefers not having her own room.

“Those were probably some of the favourite times of my life,” she smiled.

That’s not to say her son will always share a room with her though, as she’s already thinking about when he will need his own room.

“A lot of people have said 6, some people have said 10. I’m not too sure,” she mused.

But she added she’s going to wait for the “right timing” before trying to move his son.

“What age do you think a child should stop sharing with a parent?” she wrote in the caption.

“They are only small once!”

In the accompanying TikTok video, Levi showed herself setting up a little “den” underneath her son’s midsleeper bed for him to enjoy.

The comments section was quickly filled with perople having their say on the situation, with one writing: “He’ll grow up to be a calm child.

“I’ll co sleep or share my room with my daughter until she’s 7, that’s the age when they can self regulate.”

“I shared a room with my mum and sister until I was 12 and I didn’t get my own room till I was 18,” another added.

“Now I share a bed with my mum cause we’ve only got a 2 bed and it too expensive to rent.

“I also didn’t want her sleeping on the sofa and she didn’t want her kids to sleep on the sofa.”

“I love this,” Levi replied.

“This is normal for a lot of people and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.

“Who cares, everybody has a place to sleep in family home and everyone is comfortable!”

“It depends on his development, usually sometime between 6-10 would be the right period to give him his own room,” a third said.

“I agree,” Levi said.

“I feel around age 6-10 I may start to see the signs of needing privacy or just seeming that little bit older.”

But others disagreed, with one person insisting: “That is a bit weird!”

“No no no, you need to let go,” another wrote.

As a third admitted: “As someone who’s always shared a room it does affect us.

“I struggle to fall asleep on my own and have anxiety around it.

“When my partner works away I don’t sleep.”
