James Middleton, brother of Kate Middleton, is reportedly entangled in a feud with a neighbor in their Stanford Dingley village. The neighbor, David Alderton, has allegedly been causing disturbances by putting up malicious posters and complaining about noise and light pollution from Middleton's family farm in Berkshire.
Alderton, who runs a motorcycle dealership and lives opposite Middleton's farm, reportedly joined a group opposing a planning application by James, leading to escalating tensions. Middleton has requested communication with Alderton be limited to email or through the local council due to the acrimony between them, despite attempts at mediation.
According to Middleton, Alderton has a history of disputes with other neighbors in the village, including legal actions and intimidation over planning objections. Alderton, on the other hand, has accused Middleton of using noisy and polluting farm machinery, which he claims impacts the environment and nearby residents.
The situation took a bizarre turn when Middleton's family dogs allegedly startled some guinea fowl while they were on holiday, prompting Alderton to confront a housesitter with profanity. Middleton has expressed concerns about the impact of Alderton's actions on his family, including anxiety and distress.
Authorities were reportedly contacted following the birth of Middleton's son, Inigo, as the dispute with Alderton escalated. Middleton emphasized the importance of fulfilling their responsibilities to the animals and countryside, despite the ongoing conflict with the neighbor.
