Who are Kate Middleton parents?
Michael Middleton (father)
Date of birth: June 23, 1949
Michael Middleton, Kate’s father, doesn’t like to be in the limelight. That’s why sometimes he is called “the most boring” member of the Middleton family. No wonder, because he doesn’t like to publicize his private life and very rarely all the tabloids write about him.
He was born in a rich English family, which was very close to British aristocrats. His ancestors were reputable English lawyers, and his father Captain Peter Middleton was the second pilot of Prince Philip during his tour over South America.
Michael Francis Middleton is a successful entrepreneur. He founded the company “Party Pieces“, which produces decoration for holidays. The company is estimated at 40 million pounds. Previously, he worked as a flight dispatcher. Because of his work duties, he had to spend 2 years of his life in Jordan, and his wife and three kids, including Kate, came there with him.

Date of birth: January 31, 1955
For many people worldwide Carole Middleton is known just as a mother of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. But this bright talented woman deserves more attention, we are sure.
She was born in the family of Dorothy and Ronald Goldsmith. Her birth name is Carole Elizabeth Goldsmith. She has a brother Gary Goldsmith, a millionaire and the kind of celebrity in the IT industry. Carole comes from an aristocratic family; nevertheless, some of her ancestors were poor workers.
She used to work as the supportive personnel at British Airways, and at work, she met her future husband Michael Middleton. They got married in 1980, and this marriage produced three beautiful kids, including the main heroine of our story – Kate Middleton. In 1987 her husband and she founded the company “Party Pieces”.
Carole Middleton is a contradictory figure for British citizens. At one point, she is very beautiful and well-shaped, which is wonderful for the person of her age and status. From the other point, she is considered as too ambitious, too caring about her daughter Kate (during each of her daughter’s pregnancies Carole came to the palace and stayed by the duchess side).
Nevertheless, Kate is very close to her mother. They say it was Mrs. Middleton, who encouraged Prince William to propose finally to her daughter.

Philippa Charlotte Middleton is another famous beautiful woman from Kate’s family. She was born in Reading, Berkshire, England and was educated at St Andrew’s School. Later she joined her peers at the University of Edinburgh. Pippa graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English literature.
The bright optimistic girl gained wide public attention for the first time at Kate’s wedding, where she flirted with Prince Harry, and immediately rumors about a romance between them appeared in the media.
But her chemistry with Harry disappeared very fast, and soon she was noticed in the company of Nico Jackson, the stockbroker. They dated for two years and then separated. After that Pippa met James Matthews, the billionaire, and hedge fund manager. They wedded on May 20, 2017. Kate was present at her sister’s wedding and helped her with the train of her dress. On October 15, 2018, she gave birth to her first and only as of now son Arthur Michael William Matthews. The boy got his second name from his grandfather Michael Middleton and his first name is from his late paternal uncle, who was tragically killed while he was climbing Mount Everest. The third name the boy took from his uncle Prince William.
