Their property, Kitesbridge Farm near Burford, which they purchased for £15 million in 2024, has experienced recurrent flooding due to the River Windrush traversing the 43-acre site. The couple has reportedly spent £7.5 million on extensive renovations but have had to confront difficulties with their horses’ training during wet seasons, as the grounds become unsuitable for riding in winter.
