Neighbours’ anger over 4am parties of Murdoch daughter and Matthew Freud

 
Noise complaint: Elisabeth Murdoch and Matthew Freud are accused of holding parties until 4am
2 December 2013

Neighbours of Rupert Murdoch’s daughter Elisabeth and her husband Matthew Freud have told of their anger over the couple’s raucous parties at their north London home.

They have accused PR guru Mr Freud, 50, and media executive Ms Murdoch, 45, of turning Primrose Hill into a “little Beverly Hills” by holding three to four parties a year at their six-bedroom, £24 million mansion.

Police were called to the couple’s most recent party, held after the GQ Awards in September. Guests included Russell Brand, Jemima Khan, Justin Timberlake, Samuel L Jackson and Piers Morgan.

Neighbours claim parties have been known to go on until as late as 4am on weeknights with music blasting from speakers in a rooftop garden with a pool.

One woman told the Daily Mail: “People nearby have to get up for work in the morning or to take their children to school.

“You couldn’t get access to the house to complain because they had bouncers on the door. It used to be a quiet area but it’s become like little Beverly Hills.”

Mr Freud said: “We are sorry to hear that some of our neighbours were disturbed by guests leaving our family home on a couple of occasions earlier this year. We love Primrose Hill and would never wish to inconvenience any other residents.

“We have a young family ourselves and these were irregular events. Our apologies go to anyone who was disturbed on those evenings.”
