How did Kate Middleton's family make their money? | This is Money

How did Kate Middleton's family make their money? | This is Money

With the 'big day' arriving, we look at the background of 'commoner' Kate Middleton, and how her family made the money to send her to Malborough College and on course for a Royal Wedding.


Although called a 'commoner', Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding is hardly a case of Prince and the Pauper. Michael and Carole Middleton, Kate's parents, could be worth in the region of £30m, according to City analysts.

That's based on the value of their online party gift business Party Pieces and the the new link to the Royal Family, especially given the lucrative new market it could now exploit: the US.

Without that connection, prior to the wedding announcement, the company would have been worth an estimated £8m.
