Carole and Michael Middleton have shown unwavering support for the royal family since the announcement of their daughter's cancer. Carole Middleton is said to be devoted to her three grandchildren, ensuring that they lead as normal a life as possible.
Richard Eden, Windsor commentator, says "it is becoming obvious that Kate's parents are as important for the future of the monarchy as the Windsors themselves, and I think they deserve official recognition. "The subject has been on the table for several years. As their friend, the tycoon Sir John Madejski, said to me ten years ago: "They should be the Earl and Countess of Bucklebury, or something.'" "THEY SHOULD BE THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF BUCKLEBURY," said Sir John. "She's a real Mary Poppins," continues this intimate from Wales to The Independent. "Their support gave William the security he needed to continue his official commitments before Easter, and it will be the same when his children return to school (...) It is time for Carole and Michael Middleton to receive titles which reflect their importance."
