Princess Catherine’s recent cancer diagnosis has prompted her parents, Michael and Carol Middleton, to adopt a protective stance by ensuring the well-being of their three grandchildren.
The children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are being lovingly cared for by their grandparents, who are also Pippa’s grandchildren.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe, in an interview with the Mirror, highlighted the Middleton’s unwavering support for their daughter and her young family during this challenging time.
Larcombe emphasized how Carol and Michael have surrounded Princess Catherine’s children with love and protection, shielding them from any potential distress.
The importance of meticulous child care in such circumstances was underscored, with the Prince of Wales also receiving support from his adopted parents, Carol and Michael.
The news of the princess’s diagnosis has deeply saddened the Middleton family, according to Larcombe, who noted Carol’s pride in her role as a grandmother.
In a candid interview with Good Housekeeping in 2021, Carol expressed her joy in spending quality time with her grandchildren, engaging in outdoor activities and cooking together.
Following Princess Catherine’s decision to establish Windsor as their permanent residence in 2023, Carol and Michael have dedicated more time to bonding with their grandkids.
Their home in Berkshire, England, is a short 40-minute drive from Windsor, allowing for frequent visits and family gatherings.
Having sold their party supply company Party Pieces after nearly two decades, Carol and Michael now have the freedom to devote themselves to their grandchildren.
Carol founded the business in 1987, and with newfound leisure time, she cherishes the moments spent with her family.
Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales departed Adelaide Cottage in Windsor via helicopter, heading towards Amarhal on the Sandringham estate for Easter celebrations.
The Middleton family’s unwavering support and love for Princess Catherine during her health battle exemplify the strength of familial bonds.
As they navigate this challenging period together, the unity and care displayed by Carol and Michael serve as a source of comfort and reassurance for their daughter and grandchildren.
