Kate Middleton’s mother is planning another Christmas to remember for her grandchildren.
Carole Middletonrecently gave a glimpse into her holiday decorating plans through her business Party Pieces' Instagram page. The grandmother of five — to Kate and Prince William’s three children (Prince George,Princess Charlotte, andPrince Louis) as well as Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’two kids— shared that she is keeping her tradition of having multiple Christmas trees.
“Once again this year we plan to have two Christmas trees: one for the children to decorate and one which I do myself,” she said.
Carole, 66, also noted that she’s updating her tree topper to a new piece.
“My beloved tree-top angel is looking a little worse for wear after years of service so it’s time to invest in something new,” she wrote. “This Light Up Gold Star will bring an extra twinkle to proceedings.”
In 2018, Carole opened up to U.K. newspaperThe Telegraphabout having a Christmas tree in each of her grandchildren’s rooms around the holidays. Explaining her reasoning, Carole shared it’s “so thatthey can decorate it themselves.”
Due to the coronavirus pandemic last year, Carole shared on Instagram that her grandchildren would still help her get festive.
Carole, along with the rest of her family, supported Kate last week as the royal hosted her first-everChristmas carol concertat Westminster Abbey. Michael and Carole Middleton,Pippa Middleton, James Middleton and his new wife Alizee Thevenet all attended — and the sweet moment when Kate saw them was evencaptured on camera.
