James Middleton has bought a home in the countryside

"I think buying a house is up there with one of the most stressful experiences in my life," James wrote.

"It's been a hectic few months moving in to our new home & we couldn't be happier. We are settling into our life in the country & the dogs, their new home."

The Middleton family grew up at Oak Acre

So, unlike her brother James, Pippa has embraced all of the mod cons and her home is full of state-of-the-art luxury.

The Middleton children all grew up in the countryside, along with their mother Carole Middleton and father Michael Middleton. The family resided at Oak Acre in Bucklebury village until 2012 when Carole and Michael upgraded to the £4.7million Bucklebury Manor for more privacy.
