Also grandparents toPrince Williamand Kate’s children,Prince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louis, Carole describes herself as an active influence in their lives, something she hopes will continue.
“I want to run down the hills, climb the trees and go through the tunnel at the playground,” she says. “I cook with them, I muck around dancing, we go on bike rides.”
The entrepreneur who founded Party Pieces back in 1988, a one-stop online shop for children’s party merchandise said she was looking forward to having her own celebration once lockdown restrictions were eased.
“At some point, I’d like to have a big party. Despite founding Party Pieces, I’ve never actually had my own party – and I’d love one!” she said.
Carole, who lives in the Berkshire village of Bucklebury with her husband Michael, says she wants to instill a love of the outdoors with all five of her grandchildren — something Kate also strives for. She hopes to be able to help them “really see the value of being able to appreciate nature and be active outdoors,” she said.
