Pippa Middleton May Be Trying to Revive Her Family’s Failed Business With This Shocking Move

Kate Middleton’s family has been involved in the party planning and supply business for years. Her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton’s business, reportedly hit huge financial troubles, leading them to sell the business at a huge loss. While that party planning business is dead for the Middleton family, it seems Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, and her husband, James Matthews, may try their hand at the business now.

Pippa has always had a touch of party planning in her., with multiple cookbooks being released over the years and an interior design brand through The Bucklebury Gift and Farm Shop. And now, their Bucklebury Farm Park is open for parties.

Per Hello Magazine, the two purchased the land in 2021 for £1.5 million, and now, in 2024, the place is open for parties like “birthday parties, corporate events, yoga session, pilates and so much more.”

They announced the news in late April 2024, sharing that the lodge on the property is the one available for parties, saying in the caption, “We are so excited to announce you can now book The Lodge (9am -5pm only) for birthday parties, corporate events, yoga session, pilates and so much more. You can book your date and pay a deposit online now.”

Now, this new move has fans instantly thinking about her parents’ former business called Party Pieces, which helped plan parties and give supplies. The company was struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it all went downhill. The family business, founded in 1987, was later sold to entrepreneur James Sinclair, and the two may receive little to no money from the sale, despite still being shareholders.

But now, it seems Pippa is trying her hand at it all, and we have our fingers crossed for her.
