London, UK – Following the recent cancer diagnosis of Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, her parents are providing support and comfort to her and Prince William’s three children. Middleton, 42, announced that she has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment after doctors discovered cancer during a planned surgery.
Amidst her health struggles, Michael, 74, and Carole Middleton, 69, are ensuring a sense of stability for the royal couple’s children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Additionally, they are supportive grandparents to Pippa’s children: Arthur, Grace, and Rose.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe emphasized the importance of the Middletons’ role in offering a “safety blanket” around the young children during this challenging time. He noted that they are playing a crucial role in protecting and caring for the grandchildren.
Both Michael and Carole also consider Prince William as their “adopted son” and are deeply saddened by Middleton’s diagnosis. Despite maintaining privacy, Carole has previously expressed her enthusiasm for being a grandmother and actively engaging in activities with her grandchildren.
With the Prince and Princess of Wales setting their permanent home base in Windsor, Carole and Michael, based in Berkshire, England, have had more opportunities to spend time with their grandchildren. This closeness has been facilitated by the recent sale of their party supply company, Party Pieces, founded by Carole in 1987.
As Middleton and William head to Sandringham with their children for the Easter break, it remains uncertain if Michael and Carole will join them. The family is focused on providing love and support to Middleton during her challenging health journey without compromising the well-being of the children.
