Carol Middleton is ever the doting grandmother to her three grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. She shares an incredibly close bond with her granddaughter Princess Charlotte. Not only do the pair share a middle name, but who can forget the hilarious moment during a family holiday trip on the isle of wight? It looks as though the whole family was having lots of fun as George and Charlotte were spotted on another boat with Granny and Grandpa Middleton cheering on their mom and dad. Both Royal siblings were dressed appropriately for the nautical location, rocking blue and white stripes. George was especially nautical in a captain's hat - seriously, how cute is he hanging with Grandpa in his life jacket!
Not to be outdone, little sister Charlotte was equally adorable in a sleeveless dress by Ralph Lauren Kids. Carol Middleton looked perfectly relaxed and stylish as she sported a baseball cap. Although it was August, the blustery sea air meant Carol was in need of one of her summer coats, so she opted for a lightweight puffer jacket to ward off the seaside wind chill. Looking ultra cool in her casual puffer, Carol added to the laid-back look with a pair of shades that would still fit in the sunglasses trends of 2024.

At first, Charlotte looked rather coy as she held on to her grandmother and mother after the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge returned to shore. Charlotte were pictured pulling funny faces at her mother through a wind window as an amused Carol looked on. Prince Louis was also on the isle of white for the event, likely in the care of the family's trusted nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borralo. It's unclear whom the Royal kids were rooting for, but we bet they were just happy to watch their mom and dad engage in a little healthy competition. The event also marked the family's first public appearance since returning from their family vacation in Mustique, where they spent Prince George's birthday. They were all sporting tans from their tropical getaway.
Carol has been increasingly present in Charlotte's life as she continues to support Catherine during her ongoing cancer treatment, which comes as no surprise as she previously confessed that she is incredibly hands-on when it comes to her grandparenting. Carol described Charlotte as a well-rounded child, which is due to her closeness with Carol and her aunt Pippa Middleton. She always looks very demure and ladylike in public, but actually I think she's fo F. At first but she's kind of eyeing up what's around her and then some of her real personality comes out, which I think is a confident, bubbly girl who has a great sense of fun.

Carol once looked so proud of little Charlotte, who climbed down the steps alongside her mother Catherine, who looked very glamorous in a burgundy furline coat. Talking about Christmas with her grandchildren to an exclusive newspaper, Carol revealed she places Christmas trees in the grandchildren's rooms so that they can decorate them themselves. When Carol spends special time with her grandchildren, there's one thing she believes it's important for them to fully embrace - even if that means getting rather messy. She previously opened up about how her grandchildren help her with planting at her home. According to her, time outdoors and getting muddy is necessary, even if it's unexpected for royalty. It's likely that as her oldest grandchildren Prince George, Charlotte, and Louis have enjoyed plenty of planting time with Carol over the years.

We are used to seeing them dress immaculately and behaving their best at Royal events or in family photos. Because of this, it might be tricky to imagine them all getting muddy and throwing themselves into gardening at Bucklebury Manor. Their unwavering support has been especially vital during Catherine's recent cancer battle, demonstrating their dedication to family and the extraordinary length they go to ensure their grandchildren's childhood remain as stable and joyful as possible. The families now live closer to each other, and Catherine has previously reflected upon how dedicated Carol and Michael are - so much so that they sacrifice a lot for Catherine and her siblings Pippa and James growing up. She came to appreciate this even more as an adult.

Carol's bond with her grandchildren is clearly incredibly strong. She finds the perfect balance of fun-loving granny who lets them get messy outdoors, while also instilling traditions like helping them decorate their own Christmas trees. Carol is also a source of stability and support for the Cambridge children, especially during their mother's health issues. Her hands-on approach to grandparenting has helped shape Charlotte into the confident, outgoing child she is today. The whole family appreciates Carol and Michael's dedication over the years. Their country home provides an idyllic place for quality time together outside of the royal routine. It's easy to see why Carol is cherished as ever the devoted granny.
