Mike and Carole Middleton: Stats

Just for fun I thought that I would share some Middleton family statistics. We'll start with the parents in the family, Mike and Carole.

The Middletons have been described by the British press as "minted" and "moneyed middle class, with a smattering of blue-blooded antecedents".[18][19]

Michael Francis Middleton was born in Leeds in 1949, and was the son of a pilot instructor / aviator. His grandfather Noel Middleton was a solicitor. Michael Middleton was educated, like his father and grandfather at Clifton College.[20] At Clifton, all three Middleton men boarded at Brown House. Carole Elizabeth Middleton (née Goldsmith) was born on 31 January 1955 at Perivale Maternity Hospital inEaling.[21][22][23] The daughter of a builder, Ronald Goldsmith (1931–2003), and his wife, Dorothy Harrison (1935–2006), she was raised in a council flat in Southall, and attended the local state school.[24]

The couple met when they both worked for British Airways; Carole as a stewardess, Michael as a steward.[20] In 1979, Michael Middleton was promoted within BA and became a flight dispatcher at London Heathrow Airport, where he kept track of the airline's fleet on the ground. The couple were married on 21 June 1980, at the parish church of St James in Dorney, Buckinghamshire.[25] They bought a semi-detached Victorian house in Bradfield Southend near Reading, Berkshire.[20]

The couple have three children (two daughters and one son). Following the birth of their daughters Catherine Elizabeth (born 1982) and Philippa Charlotte (born 1983),[26] the family briefly moved to Amman, Jordan where Michael Middleton worked from 1984 to 1987.[27]
