Carole Middleton, known for her indispensable role in supporting the Prince and Princess of Wales with parenting, often assists with bath time, as revealed by a royal expert.
The Princess of Wales’s mother, Carole, shares a special bond with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Louis. A royal expert emphasized her significant contribution to Kate and William’s parenting journey, highlighting her essential presence in the lives of the Wales children.
Despite the proximity of Carole’s Bucklebury residence to the Wales family’s new home in Windsor, Adelaide Cottage, she frequently visits even when they resided in Kensington Palace, demonstrating her unwavering support.
Detailing her swift visits to fulfill her grandmother duties at bedtime and bath time, royal journalist Katie Nicholl described Carole’s active role, stating, “One of the things that allows William and Kate to be so ordinary is the presence of the Middletons in their lives.”
In the True Royalty documentary Kate Middleton: Heir We Go Again, Nicholl further elaborated, “Carole is a regular through those golden gates at Kensington Palace. She whizzes through in her Land Rover. There is no security because everybody knows her. She turns up to help with bedtime and bath time, being absolutely indispensable.”
Carole and her husband, Michael Middleton, have become even more crucial in supporting the Wales household, especially during the Princess of Wales’ recovery period post abdominal surgery in January.
As Kate temporarily steps back from royal duties until at least Easter, Carole’s support is paramount in aiding her daughter’s recuperation and strength-building process.
Royal expert Jennie Bond highlighted Carole’s nurturing role during Kate’s recovery, mentioning how mothers instinctively care for their children, regardless of age. Carole’s presence as the only grandmother figure in their lives serves as a significant anchor, providing invaluable support during challenging times.
