The Middleton family were thrust into the spotlight when the Prince and Princess of Wales’s romance was confirmed, but things were taken to another level with their wedding in April 2011. Suddenly, Michael and Carole were the parents of the future Queen and Kate and William said, "I do" in the grand surroundings of Westminster Abbey, watched by millions.
It was a huge moment and Carole arrived and went inside alone whilst her husband walked down the aisle with Kate. Her entrance has been praised by royal historian Hugo Vickers, who remarked, "On the day Carole Middleton, the bride’s mother, stepped out of the car, gave a discreet wave to the media and went straight in."
