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

The multi-millionaire founder of style chain Jigsaw needed to get rid of objections from locals about noise contamination and congested roadways. He was provided 4 months' notice in 2022 to stop hosting events at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

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

'Euridge Manor Weddings is delighted at the grant of planning permission,' a spokesman says.

When Robinson purchased Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and three cottages. But the magnate extended the estate, purchasing 250 acres of surrounding land, and constructing an orangery with two bed rooms and an indoor pool.

He wed now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson signed up company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting events.

No cut rates for Stella's clan

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

But comedienne Sophie McCartney, a cousin of the previous Beatle, says it doesn't cut any ice with Sir Paul's child, fashion designer Stella.

'When I was younger, my Nana took me to Paris since I wished to be a designer as I was doing fabrics 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 rate.

'I 'd take 25 (per cent).'

Duckface is a punchy guest

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

The starlet, 60, admits she lost her cool at Arizona's Grand Canyon. 'I behaved rather badly,' she informs Travel Secrets podcast.

'I scheduled a "1930s cabin" - when I acted I was like, "This is s ***". I stated, "You need to transfer me". I'm capable of kicking up a difficulty.'

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