Owner of the manor apologises to neighbours over JD Vance's 'circus'

The owner of the manor house set in the 'Hamptons of the UK' has apologised to her neighbours ahead of JD Vance's stay.

As part of his 'MAGA summer' holiday, the US vice-president is set to make a visit to the Grade II-listed Oxfordshire property, accompanied by his wife Usha and children Ewan, Vivek and Mirabel.

It comes after a brief trip on Friday to Chevening House, the official residence of British foreign secretary David Lammy, set within 3,000 acres of North Downs countryside.

Mr Lammy, 53, and Mr Vance, 41, are understood to have forged an unlikely friendship and spent time with each other's families, alongside engaging in a short, bilateral meeting.

Now, Pippa Hornby, who bought the 18th-century Cotswolds home with her husband Johnny in 2017, has told villagers that she was 'so sorry for the circus' set to take place across the coming days, the Telegraph has reported.
