Perhaps his goose was cooked the moment the lady of the house told how she feared being haunted by the souls of birds she’d bagged.?? Thereafter things went sour between gamekeeper Martin Taylor and his celebrated employers, Madonna and Guy Ritchie.?? In charge of the prize shoot at the couple’s country estate, Mr Taylor apparently was exasperated by the singer’s insistence he should run it in line with the whims of her celebrity animal rights activist friends such as Stella McCartney and Trudie Styler.He also felt further let down when Madonna and her husband decided to shelve their shooting parties altogether because they felt it was against their kabbalah beliefs.? The final straw, say friends, was when Mr Martin had his arm broken when a play fight involving Ritchie escalated.?? Now, after five rollercoaster years, Mr Taylor, 44, has quit the couple’s staff at Ashcombe House, their ?10million 1,200-acre estate on the Wiltshire-Dorset borders, and emigrated to the US to set up a shoot for a billionaire property developer.??
