The Times: Parents of Kate Middleton, who had cancer, owe $330,000

[Regnum] The parents of Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, who suffers from cancer, got into thousands of debts, The Times reported.

Carole and Michael Francis Middleton started the party supplies company Party Pieces in 1987. Business was booming, but the coronavirus pandemic took a major hit to revenue. Now the company has been declared bankrupt, and the debt of the Princess of Wales's parents to creditors amounted to $330,000.
I expect her parents own considerably more than that in real estate, and apparently for generations much of the family money has been tied up in various trusts. And anyway the point of bankruptcy is to walk away from debts, if I understand correctly. No need to worry that Her Royal Highness’s parents will starve.
“This is a very worrying time for the family, but they are not expecting help from their children,” the statement said.

Kate Middleton, wife of Prince William, heir to the British throne, was born in the city of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. Her parents worked for British Airways before starting their own business selling party supplies. Kate graduated from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met Prince William in 2001. Her parents are close members of the royal family and often attend events with Kate, William and their children.

Since November 2023, the Princess of Wales has stopped appearing in public. Later, information appeared that Kate Middleton had undergone planned abdominal surgery at a clinic in London. The first footage of her appeared in March 2024. In a video message, she announced that she was undergoing a course of preventive chemotherapy. According to Kate, the cancer was discovered by post-surgery tests.

However, there are no reliable reports about what type of cancer it is and at what stage it is. They even tried to steal the duchess's medical records. It was assumed, in particular, that it could be cervical cancer, but royal family expert Mark Roche, citing his informants, reported that Kate Middleton was diagnosed with colon cancer.

Queen Consort Camilla said on March 29 that the good wishes were very supportive of the Princess of Wales.
