Princess Kate's former boss has scored a major win not in fashion this time, but in the world of weddings.
John Robinson, founder of high street fashion brand Jigsaw and once employer to Kate Middleton, has successfully won a three year battle to host weddings at his lavish Cotswolds estate, Euridge Manor.
According to Richard Eden of the Daily Mail, Robinson’s dream of turning his sprawling 450-acre property into a full scale events venue can now move ahead following a second approved planning application and a successful appeal.
Neighbours had initially raised concerns over noise and increased traffic, leading to an enforcement notice being issued.
However, Wiltshire Council eventually greenlit a revised plan that included a new access track to ease local disruptions.
Robinson, who bought Euridge Manor in 1980, has spent decades shaping the countryside estate into a romantic escape.
Originally comprising 200 acres, a five-bedroom farmhouse and three cottages, the property has since expanded to 450 acres.
He’s added standout features like an orangery with two bedrooms and an indoor pool setting the stage for what’s now one of the area’s most luxurious wedding destinations.
Euridge Manor, the newly approved wedding hotspot owned byThe Princess of Wales’s former boss John Robinson, has already earned a glittering reputation with actress Eleanor Tomlinson among the high profile brides to say "I do" there.
The Poldark star celebrated her nuptials to rugby player Will Owen at the picturesque estate, adding celebrity sparkle to the venue’s growing appeal.
