The Cheltenham Festival has been happening this week. It’s a somewhat fancy horse race, and I believe Zara Tindall has some kind of formal association with the festival. She attends every day. Well, Wednesday was ladies’ day, which meant Princess Anne and Queen Camilla joined Zara and Mike Tindall for a day at the races. In years past, Zara’s cousins Princess Beatrice and Eugenie might have shown up with their husbands too. But not this year. This year, the Yorks are in hiding and/or banned from all public outings. Weirdly, in the Yorks’ absence, bankrupt scammer Carole Middleton mingled in the royal box.
Carole actually got a lot of attention from the British and American media, which I’m sure pissed off Camilla to no end. Camilla even wore a big hat for her big day with the horses, but it was no match for Carole’s fedora, which she borrowed from her daughter, the Princess of Wales. Because Carole and Kate love to borrow each other’s clothes and accessories, which I find tacky at this point. Carole also wanted people to notice her Hermes Birkin bag. Bless her heart.
If Carole’s fashion antics weren’t gauche enough, she actually threw one of her peasant arms around the Princess Royal!! Carole must have been drunk as a skunk to behave like that. Chumming it up in the royal box, guffawing in front of Camilla’s pursed lips and putting her commoner hands on Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter! THE AUDACITY!
PS… Does Camilla overdraw her lips?

My mother used to borrow (and never return) items of mine I absolutely hated it and I find it rather disturbing when I see CM doing it also.
It looks like she borrowed her daughter’s booze and pills, too. Yikes at that picture of her hanging off Anne!!
Camilla needs to get to work with the media on an expose of Carole. The hat on Carole does not fit right on her
Is Carole wearing Keen’s boots? I think she is.
The coat looks suspiciously Kate-ish too!
@Tessa RIGHT?! Where is Camilla? This behavior cannot go unanswered for. “Threw one of her peasant arms around Queen Elizabeth’s only daughter” is giving me life today after the hellish landscape we wake up to every day.😂😭🤣
Yeesh. Did she get more facial work done? Also, that hat irritates me.
But more importantly, the audacity to carry that expensive bag when she left so many local businesses unpaid!
The audacity and shamelessness is all I could think about too. These people faced no consequences for leaving small businesses with unpaid tabs of hundreds of thousands of dollars! It’s infuriating.
She’s had a full blown facelift, IMO.
I also called her shameless. I think she’s been advised that they will get titles for keeping their mouths shut. She looks too pleased with herself. Vile woman. Ugh!
Yes, thank you! I could barely recognize her. Definitely looks like a face lift and not necessarily the Kris Jenner Special. There’s something janky about it, as per the usual with the Middletons.
Mommy Dearest bagged two newspaper front covers will SIL approve?
https://news.sky.com/story/tomorrows-newspaper-front-pages-12427754
She looks very tanned compared to milk white Anne? Could she become daughter’s official plus one as her lady in waiting?
Carole will probably have been on holiday in Mustique, as she usually does every year.
Mommy Dearest … LOLOLOL.
Divorced princesses don’t need ladies in waiting & Carole pays for that coverage bc she’s desperate currently.
Does Camilla overdraw her lips or are the lines around her mouth from smoking so numerous and so deep that it’s impossible to keep her lipstick from bleeding all over the place?
It’s definitely the latter. Someone needs to introduce her to Urban Decay’s Ozone liner (or similar). Frankly, I think that literally every woman in the BRF (excluding Meghan) would benefit from a 15 minute Sephora consultation.
And a bra fitting!
Carole has the same too big, too fake, open mouthed smile as her daughter.
If she was going to borrow one of Kate’s hats – that wasn’t the one. It’s a fine line IMO and you would think a repuatable reporter would pursue it – how much do the Middletons accept in freebies because of their association with the royal family, and how often are they use to funnel freebies to Kate. And along those lines – how often is Kate passing things purchased with duchy funds (and presumably included as a “business expense” reducing their tax liability) on to her mother or sister?
(this was from 2020 so it would have been charles’ duchy income.)
I suppose it doesn’t matter. They shouldn’t be deducting any of that stuff for business expenses, but I do get your point. It’s just shameless.
The tax he pays is ‘voluntary’ (and now secret) so I don’t think they need to worry about things like that.
A real journalist would turn Carole’s habit of wearing stuff purchased by duchy funds in a story about how more transparency is needed for all the royals. We were told when Charles was PoW that Kate’s clothing for events was a tax write off, but of course even there Kate would blur the line by wearing things for non engagement events. But for Carole to wear anything is definitely crossing a line. Kate has no personal money and the Middletons declared bankruptcy.
So where did that 20 k birkin come from?
Why aren’t we asking where Carole pays for her clothes especially when she’s been getting freebies from the family for over a decade.
Good lord, carole looks to have a new face AND a load of phooshop. They didn’t bother with old cams. Carole really looks like the cat with the cream.
Yorks are OUT and Midds are HERE TO STAY! She got two front page photos laughing like a maniac (Kate really is a chip off the block!)
Yes that is def the message that’s being put out – given that Ma has connections at the Fail this is something that she has pushed esp given that its obvs that she was making an effort to mug for the paps by waving at them.
Ma is making a bid to fill the gap left by the Yorks.
That’s exactly the vibe. Yorks out. Midds in. Although at this point, Carole being tacky all over the place is probably a story they’d rather have splashed out than reminders of Epstein.
In Carole’s dream. The yorks are in hiding but no one would want Carole doing royal work. She paid for media coverage yesterday and was an absolute laughing stock bc of it…not exactly the look the royals need right now. Another parasite criminal who steals money and is awkward and cringe representing them. They already have all that and it isn’t working.
Oh I don’t mean that in terms of royal work but in royal-adjacent events.
OMG she looks exactly like her daughter in the picture where she’s mauling Anne. Showing her entire set of teeth and laughing like a lunatic while no one else is showing that level of exuberance and draped all over someone who would rather not be touched by her. Like mother like daughter.
And the fedora doesn’t even fit her head. She looks absurd all around.
P.s. I love the Camzilla pics you chose. She looks condescending as hell. An I’m untouchable vibe.
Carole and keen wear the same type of eye makeup.
Is she a pensioner now or… what?
Yes. She is over 70 already.
Carole hanging off the arm of Brendan Moran, a leading colorectal surgeon based in nearby Basingstoke, Hampshire.
Plenty of clues there if he was C’s guest instead of MM.
Especially if he soon becomes a ‘Sir’.
Is he the man laughing with Carole on front page of the Fail today? Well that is revealing especially if he does get knighted! Good catch!
Carole’s new angle of trying to get a title? Lol.
Midds hat just needs a few huge sharks teeth in the band of the hat to complete her look.
LOL.
Lots of thoughts but mainly Carole is def looking like the cat who got the full fat cream here – wonder how long it will last before she oversteps and pisses Chuck and Cams off enough for them to have the press throw the Mids under the bus, again.
– Where is Mike?
– Who bought her that Hermes bag? Considering the waiting list and the ‘rules’ to get one you can bet your last dollar that she used her ‘royal’ connections to blag one. Am sure the businesses she stiffed would also like to know who paid for it.
– There is a long history of the Middleton women sharing clothes, same goes for Ma and Pips getting freebies from the same designers Catty wears. Remember that pink dress that Carole wore to an event a few years ago – she was papped wearing it a few weeks after Kate wore it to an official event.
The grifting Middletons really do fit in with the grifting Windsors.
There is not an ounce of shame in that family or their associates. For the Middleton woman to be parading around in public trying to look posh suggests she could care less about the people she swindled out of money and also does not feel she should be held accountable. This is that family’s mode of operation. Everyone is supposed to be held accountable but us. Disgraceful.
100%, posted similar below. She is nauseating.
She is morally bankrupt for sure.
I have that same bag. I paid $45 on DHGate to use as part of a costume for my daughter.
Yeah, that doesn’t look genuine to me either.
Look at Carole, trying to cosplay a gently reared English woman, and failing pretty badly. I guess the left behind royals are stuck with the tacky Middletons, while Peg disappears, doing god knows what.
After the way Carole the scammer cheated those people out of their money, she should never show her face in public again. Als flaunting a Hermes which cow some reason on her Looks fake , is like let me borrow the Rota rats words, it’s a slap in the face to all the hard working British people she scammed out of their hard earned money. This woman has absolutely no shame , remorse or a beating heart
It’s always been very clear that Anne doesn’t want to hug or be touched by people. It’s very rude for Carole to be hanging off her and Anne looks uncomfortable by it. Do they even know each other or ever interacted before? Carole is doing way too much and looks tacky.
It’s cringeworthy. I can just imagine Anne’s reaction to that in private. It’s against protocol for a commoner to touch a royal in that manner and Anne is a stickler for protocol, as her mother was.
That kind of protocol is B.S. — the royals aren’t special and don’t deserve special rules. But it’s rude to touch anyone unless you’re close to that person and consent is granted.
@QuiteContrary – The royals really think they are special though. I remember the uproar in the press when Michelle Obama dared to touch QEII. Seeing Carole literally groping Princess Anne is actually quite shocking knowing how Anne is with the peasant class. I can only assume Carole had had too much to drink.
My reaction to that is twofold:
1) while the royals aren’t special, they certainly think they are and Carole certainly thinks they are (can you imagine her reaction if someone dared to touch KATE like that in public?) so its sort of jarring from that perspective. We’ve spent decades hearing you don’t touch a royal without permission or whatever and here’s Carole being ridiculous with anne.
2) even without that, Anne just doesn’t strike me as the touchy-feely type. We’ve never seen her act like this in public with anyone, not her mother, not her daughter no one. And I’m assuming she barely knows Carole. So just for personal boundaries, royal or not, Carole was in the wrong here.
Since when does anyone man-handle a royal in public, especially an outside commoner like Carole? She wouldn’t have dared done it to Camilla, let alone the late QEII.
I can only assume Carole had had too much to drink.
Imagine showing up to a daytime event more sloshed than Camilla! 🙂
Carole was guffawing just like Kate does on engagements.
I don’t know if she has a giant face and head, but that hat sure makes it look like it. It’s too small and she looks terrible. The entire outfit is bad and that coat is doing nothing for her, hugging her “mature“ figure. She looks frumpy and maniacal at the same time.
Something is up with this shameless PR drive. What are the Windsors thinking? Carole is an odious social climber with a checkered past regarding her finances and the sale of PP. She left small suppliers high and dry using a loophole in the UK’s corporations law to permit her to sell a business as a going concern without settling the debts. Not to mention the workers’ payments that were never repaid. She’s flaunting very expensive attire and accessories. I think Zara and Mike are doing this for W.
This woman has got some nerve. No wonder Kate waited and finally got to pin Willy down after a decade – her mother has no shame. But so has the BRF for parading Carole around.
Let’s give Camilla credit – she can see right through Carole and is making it obvious. We now also know the organ where Kate’s illness arose. Why do they call doctors and surgeons, “Mr” in the UK. Bizarre.
@convict Surgeons were barbers many centuries ago, hence Mr. Also, consultants are called Mr. or Ms./Mrs. as well, or Professor, if they are full professors of medicine. It’s a matter of prestige, medicine is still very stratified in England.
These shots show the UK press has the same opinion of bankrupt, Birkin-flaunting, cat-got-the-cream Carole as the public does. Yes, the press chooses which photos to use, but these are doozies.
And Carole’s to blame: she didn’t have to stop on her way in to pose with the doctor; she didn’t have to go around with her mouth hanging open in hilarity while everyone else wears serious expressions; and she certainly didn’t have to grope Anne. Camilla’s expression is priceless.
There has been a spate of articles about how William will give Carole a title (the articles never mention Michael, hmmm) when he’s King and stripping titles from the Sussexes and York sisters. Carole is acting like her next stop is the BP balcony at Trooping. Willy really won’t read the room that badly, will he? Can anyone imagine James Dog Biscuits inheriting that title? Could this just be Carole cluelessly wish-casting? Or was Carole’s rehabilitation part of the 2024 deal?
You raise the right questions. We’ll have to wait and see. Carole looks manic and like she’s taken her hip flask for refreshment again. She’s been around royalty enough already to try to act like she’s sane and sober.
CarolE being allowed to royal adjacent events was obviously part of the 2024 deal, as she began stepping out in public (after quite a hiatus) not long after the bench video. By the looks of CarolE in these pics, it was some deal. She’s comfortable enough to hand onto Anne, and she’s comfortable enough to show up with a new face and expensive bag even though she left loads of unpaid bills in PP’s wake. Tacky, tacky, tacky. And the Windsors are putting up with it.
Does Camilla tell her stylist to find her dresses and coats that look like Vanity Fair velour bathrobes?
Camilla reportedly just came back from India with her sister where they went to that ridiculously expensive and exclusive spa.
Hilariously, she’s come out looking worse than she went in. Clearly the turmeric and rosewater infused spackle has stopped working.
Has the old grey mare considered switching to Bondo?
Carole looks completely lost in the sauce. Zara and Anne take horse events seriously – they both competed as Olympians – and Carole takes it as an event to get schnockered.
Camilla’s hat is atrocious. It draws attention to her face which is not a good idea. I think it must be frightening to come face to face with her. It’s not just her age. Many women become more elegant and refined as they age. Camilla is like some creature that crawled out of a swamp. Run for your lives!
No comment on Camilla’s face … but that hat is so bonkers over-the-top, I actually like it!
Wait a minute here, Carole, who owes millions in upaid debt, is rocking a $15k Birkin bag and no one is saying anything about that???? I expected That to be the headline, at least here but alas.
Camilla looks a right mess! And what on earth is that hairy thing Carole is wearing around her neck? Looks like one of Kate’s leftover wiglets!
One of the DM cover photos shows Camilla looking over at Carole, who is sporting the Middleton slack jawed open mouth laugh, and giving an obvious side eye.
While I don’t like Camilla, I don’t blame her for that look because Carole looks pathetic. Girl you are in your 70s and still trying too hard to fit in. Sad.
