People are always paying close attention to the Royals, and the public doesn’t miss any small details about them. There’s even a whole TV show, Netflix’s The Crown, that thoroughly looks into the details of the British Crown.

“The Crown” is in its sixth and supposed final season, focusing on Prince William and Princess Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales.

In the latest episode on December 14, there’s a scene where Carole Middleton, played by Eve Best, is scheming to get Kate Middleton to the same university as Prince William. The show portrays her as the one who played a role in making Kate Middleton the Princess of Wales that she is today.

People quickly noticed similarities between Carole Middleton, Kate’s mom, and Mrs. Bennet, the famous character from Pride and Prejudice. Whether it’s Princess Kate’s mom or Mrs. Bennet, both moms were eager to see their daughters in royal circles.

The recent portrayal of Princess Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, in The Crown made viewers curious to learn more about her. So, here we are with all the essential details about the modern-day Mrs. Bennet.

Carole Middleton was born on January 31, 1955, in Perivale, London, to Ronald and Dorothy Goldsmith. She grew up in Southall, London, in a working-class family. Her dad was a builder, and her mom reportedly worked part-time at a jewelry store.

Growing up without a lot of money, Carole went to nearby public schools but didn’t go to college for a higher degree.

Carole Middleton wanted to be a teacher but couldn’t because of limited education. She worked at John Lewis and later at British Airways, where she met her future husband, Michael Middleton. They got married in 1980 and raised three kids: Kate, Philippa, and James.

In 1987, Carole started ‘Party Pieces,’ a company selling party supplies. She got the idea while shopping for Kate’s fifth birthday. Carole and Michael turned their small business into a big success, worth £30 million in 2013. Due to COVID, they sold the business to James Sinclair earlier this year.
