It feels like “Queen Mum” Carole Middleton has been tasked with doing “royal appearances” this week too, right? The Windsors made a huge deal about how they were furiously booked and busy this week, as counterprogramming for Prince Harry’s UK visit. It feels like the royal courts “encouraged” Carole and her family to make sure that they are out and about as well. On Monday, Carole made her first Wimbledon appearance of the year, sitting in the second row of the Royal Box, just behind Roger Federer. Carole went to Wimbledon with Pippa on Monday. And now today, Carole turned up at Wimbledon with her long-suffering husband Michael Middleton.
Someone made the point that Wimbledon should cut off Carole’s Royal Box tickets until she pays off her mountain of debt. That’s funny, because it’s clear that the establishment decided in 2024 to sweep Carole’s bankruptcy shame under the rug as part of a broader deal. Since 2024, you will not catch any British outlet even mentioning Party Pieces’ bankruptcy or Carole’s many lies and schemes.
Also attending Wimbledon today: Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter(batch). This gingham dress is maybe the best thing Sophie has ever worn? I absolutely LOVE this on her.

That is one of Sophie’s better looks
LOL The Middletons are finally “working royals”!
Is this the best the royals can do? A grifter, a loser with a failed business that left tons of debt in her wake? Bwahahaha.
Pitiful.
I can’t sit in the sun for all those hours.
Same, not with bare arms & not with bare feet & not without a hat. Actually, not even if I were fully covered up, I couldn’t do it.
It is HOT in London.
We watched a match maybe on Sunday and saw a guy in a pale blue shirt stand up and the whole back of his shirt was dripping wet.
We’ve been chuckling at the royal box as it seems to get the sun until quite late in the day and all you can see is everyone frantically waving fans.
Meghan, who made them mad by simply having her own team, was too much but lying scamming middletons are ok./s
If the uk allows Williams children to inherit it all it really will be the end. They are the definition of benefit scroungers. They have no ties to helping england or the commonwealth.
If i was ma and pa middleton i would be saving every dime to payback my creditors. They should do it for grandson George.
Sophie’s dress is lovely, Carole’s dress is hideous, wear hats people! Y’all are going to get sunburned & skin cancer can happen to anyone! I’ve read there’s some sort of rule against hats, at the same time I’ve always seen little straw boaters at Wimbledon, they even sell hats there, so wear them!
I’m surprised Carole is aging so badly. The alcohol DOESN’T act as a natural embalming fluid, keeping the person looking young? Who would have thought?
