It's official: Kate Middleton finds out about John, the other man in her previous life

The fashion tycoon linked to Kate Middleton wins a major legal battle that grants him the desired outcome

In the world of British royalty, previous professional connections before royal marriages don't always come to light. However, some of those past relationships can influence important decisions in the lives of the most high-profile figures. A case that recently came to light is related to Kate Middleton before her wedding to Prince William.

Professional ties, especially those that arise before major commitments, can have a lasting impact on future decisions. The story of John Robinson, the fashion magnate, is connected in some way to the British royal family. Now, Robinson has won a three-year legal battle.

This connection is now reflected in a significant legal victory

Despite objections from neighbors, Robinson has managed to keep the right to hold weddings on his property, Euridge Manor. This success came after a three-year legal battle, which included a closure notice in 2022 due to concerns about traffic congestion and noise pollution. However, after a public inquiry, he obtained approval to continue hosting weddings on the estate.

The fashion magnate expressed his satisfaction with the decision made in his favor. "Euridge Manor Weddings is delighted with the granting of the planning permission." The estate, located on a 1,112-acre (450 hectares) expanse, has become his home and an iconic venue for exclusive weddings.

The venue has already hosted high-profile events, such as the wedding of Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson and rugby player Will Owen, which was held in 2022. This success is just the beginning for John, who hopes Euridge Manor will remain a top-level destination for couples seeking a unique wedding. The estate, with its top-level and privacy, has gained popularity among those seeking something more exclusive for their big day.

From country house to top-level wedding venue

When Robinson acquired Euridge Manor in 1980, the property was a modest five-bedroom country home on 494 acres (200 hectares). Over time, he expanded the estate and added 618 additional acres (250 hectares), along with a top-level greenhouse with two rooms and an indoor pool. Over the years, he made Euridge Manor transform into a modern mansion with every comfort, cementing its place as one of the most luxurious properties.

After divorcing in 2014, he registered Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated, a step on his path toward creating a high-end wedding business. This move allowed him to make the most of the estate's potential, leading to its popularity as a wedding venue. The victory in the legal battle highlights how Robinson's property has become a top-level gem in the region.
