I think the Middletons try very hard................ .....

" The brother sells cake kits." Killing myself laughing.

But we should not be unfair to them. They are shrewd . Let's face it, just like the aristocracy, who have been shrewd for centuries.......

So, maybe in 500 years time they will have joined the Spencers, the Westminster's, the Devonshire's , the Northumberland's, the Buccleuch's , etc etc.

Yeah johanna - unless the whole lot have been consigned to the dustbin of history - or the guillotine!

I guess some people are just born lucky, johanna Can't wait to see them on 'Escape to the Country' with a budget of £5 million.

I thought..but may well only be media gossip..that Mummy Middleton had inherited a pretty penny!

I am going to argue with myself! I think it was daddy middleton ...mummy middleton had the brains not the dosh!

I think they have worked very hard at their business and probably deserve their success. Americans celebrate the self-made but we seem to always look for reasons to denigrate it.

So conspicuous by its absence, was any inclusion of Princess Diana in the screen show for the Jubilee Concert. It was like a denial of her existence with no recognition of her part as the mother of two fine sons.

I am sure that the Middletons have worked hard for their business to succeed.

I do not know if they are pleasant people or not as I have never met them so cannot comment on them as individuals. Just saying I read that they had some inherited dosh to get them going which helps if you are a shrewd business person as well! That is not denigrating anything.
