Carole Middleton, matriarch of the Middleton family, is preparing to celebrate her 70th birthday, marking a significant milestone. The family anticipates a grand gathering to honor Carole's seven decades of life. With her husband Michael and their three children—Kate, James, and Pippa—set to attend, the celebration will likely take place at their cherished rural retreat, Bucklebury Manor.
Carole has a deep-seated passion for celebrations, a trait she has imparted to her children. This enthusiasm for party planning is evident in Party Pieces, the family business she founded. Carole's children, including Kate Middleton, have been involved with the business since childhood. Kate often reminisces about assisting her mother in the venture, a testament to the family's strong bonds.
"Party Pieces has literally grown alongside my family, and I'm very proud of that" – Carole
In line with the family's tradition, the celebration promises to be a grand affair. Carole has a history of marking birthdays in style, such as her 60th birthday celebration in the Caribbean. It is expected that this milestone event will be no different, with many guests in attendance to join the festivities.
The Middleton family holds a tradition of staying up late to bake birthday cakes for each other. This custom has been passed down from Carole to Kate, who now frequently bakes cakes for her own children's birthdays. This familial practice is just one of the ways Carole's love for hosting has influenced her children.
Pippa Middleton, Carole's daughter, has also embraced this passion by authoring a party-planning book titled "Celebrate." Her endeavors reflect the Middleton family's dedication to making every occasion memorable.
As the family gathers at Bucklebury Manor, they will undoubtedly reflect on Carole's achievements and contributions to their lives. Her milestone 70th birthday is not only a celebration of her life but also of the legacy she continues to build through her family and business.
