Carole Middleton once went on an overseas royal tour with Kate and William - but you probably didn't notice

Carole Middleton and Catherine Princess of Wales attend day 1 of Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse on June 20, 2017 in Ascot, England.

The Princess of Wales's mother, Carole Middleton, no doubt plays a pivotal role in all areas of her daughter's life, from supporting her with the pressures of the royal spotlight to helping her and Prince William raise their own family - and Carole even attended an overseas royal tour to help with grandmother duties when Prince George was a baby.
