Carole Middleton, the mother of the future Queen of England, may not be bestowed with a royal title when her son-in-law ascends the throne.
However, there is a glimmer of hope that she may be honoured in a different manner.
Since the early days of Kate Middleton’s relationship with Prince William during their university years, Carole has emerged as a prominent figure in her own right.
Despite facing harsh criticism and accusations of orchestrating Kate’s marriage to the future monarch, Carole has remained a steadfast presence in her daughter’s life.
She shares a close bond with her famous grandchildren and spends ample time with them.
The possibility of the royal family acknowledging her contributions cannot be entirely dismissed.
While it is highly unlikely that she will be known as the Queen Mother when her daughter assumes the role of Queen Consort, there may be other titles available.
Speculation surrounding potential titles for Carole and Michael Middleton began when their daughter gave birth to Prince George in 2013.
Charles Kidd, the editor of de Bretz, expressed that traditions have evolved over time, making it improbable for someone like Carole, connected to the royal family through her child’s marriage, to receive a title from King Charles, who advocates for a smaller royal family.
However, the Middleton family has received official recognition through the coat of arms bestowed upon Michael Middleton.
In addition to the coat of arms honour, there is the possibility that Carole could be chosen as a Queen’s Companion.
Queen Camilla’s reported deviation from royal protocol by surrounding herself with official Queen’s Companions instead of ladies-in-waiting opens up the potential for Carole to play a significant role in the future.
Carole’s presence at many of the Princess’s engagements and her background as a successful businesswoman could make her an ideal candidate for a role as a Queen’s Companion.
While the future Queen Consort may opt for a traditional ladies-in-waiting setup, selecting her mother for such a position wouldn’t be unexpected.
Despite the negative portrayal Carole has endured in the media, she is likely to continue being a supportive mother and hands-on grandmother, even without a formal title.
Her dedication to her family and her contributions are undeniable, making her an integral part of the royal family’s dynamic.
The future holds possibilities for Carole Middleton beyond a mere title, showcasing her importance in the royal narrative.
