Episode Details

Princess Catherine’s brother-in-law, James Matthews, is locked in a heated dispute over a section of his family’s driveway in Kintbury, which a local walking group claims as a public footpath. Matthews, who installed a security gate in 2022, argues he had no knowledge of public use and that his family’s high-profile status demands enhanced security—especially since neighbors didn’t complain. The council, citing legal precedent, says public access can be established through 20 years of uninterrupted use or historical landowner dedication. A former estate manager testified that public use was rare, perhaps just one person every few months. The case remains unresolved, pitting privacy and security against public access rights.
