It is very difficult to find a person who has never heard of Kate Middleton, because this girl, after she married the prince, conquered the whole world and became a universally recognized style icon. But few people know about her parents, namely her mother, Carol. But this woman has an amazing and interesting biography, which almost everyone can envy. She worked as a flight attendant, built her own business, and eventually became a duchess and grandmother to the heir to the British crown!
Biography
Carol Middleton was born in the most ordinary family and never thought that she would ever be able to get a high title. Her father was a chauffeur and truck driver, and her mother was a housewife. The girl went to the most ordinary public school and successfully graduated from it. The harsh realities of life and the lack of money needed to study at the university forced Carol to look for work immediately after graduation. Carol Middleton, in her youth, did not want to choose a regular and routine job, so she went to study at an aviation college. External data allowed her to successfully pass the interview, andafter some time she became a flight attendant.
Working in the sky not only brought her first money, but also allowed her to find personal happiness. It was there that the girl met her future husband Michael, who was an aircraft pilot. After the marriage, Carol and Michael began to live together, work and save up to buy real estate. They were lucky enough to buy a house, made in the best traditions of the Victorian style, and immediately Carol gave birth to their first child - the girl Catherine - the future Duchess of Cambridge. Soon her sister Philippa, or Pippa, appeared, and then her brother James.
Own business
Carol Middleton understood that with three children she could not continue to work as a flight attendant, so she decided to open her own business. It was difficult for her to decide what exactly she wanted to sell, so the woman decided to start doing what she really understood, namely, sewing children's costumes. Carol's three children were models that the entrepreneur took measurements from and consulted when developing designs.
At first it was very difficult for her, because her business was not popular and everything went only at a loss, but Carol is not one of those who give up at the first difficulties. It was her tenacity that helped the business finally start to turn a profit, and then her small company grew significantly and is now one of the leading companies in the UK selling children's goods. Now Carol Middleton sells not only clothes for children of all ages, but also toys and even diapers.
Clothing style
Carol and Pippa Middleton, her middle daughter, have always been the main fashionistas in the family. The mother of the family always, even in the most difficult life circumstances, looked great and stylish. She loves classic dresses in discreet colors of famous brands, as befits a representative of such a high status as a duchess. But her big love is the stylish hats that Carol often wears to public events.
