Halloween Preparations for the Royals: Carol Middleton Shares Plans to Decorate Pumpkins with Grandchildren

Carol Middleton, the mother of Princess of Wales, has revealed her Halloween preparations for herself and her grandchildren.

In a recent newsletter from her party decor company, Party Pieces, Carol mentioned that she is looking forward to pumpkin decorating with her loved ones.

The 67-year-old also posted a candid selfie on Instagram, stating that Halloween is an autumn highlight for her.

She recalls the excitement and terror of her own childhood, dressing up, decorating pumpkins, and going trick or treating.

Carol also revealed a potential new holiday tradition for her family, which will likely include her grandchildren, Prince George IX, Princess Charlotte VII, and Prince Louis IV.

Pippa Middleton's three children, Arthur Grace, and infant Rose, to whom Carol is also a grandmother, are also expected to attend.

“I've even grown my own pumpkins this year.

I'm so looking forward to decorating those with my loved ones,” Carol said.

The intentions Carol has for Halloween are not particularly shocking.

The grandmother of six founded Party Pieces, a business that sells party decorations for a variety of events, and she has previously discussed her many complex holiday customs with royal followers.

In a 2018 interview with The Telegraph about her family's holiday customs, Carol mentioned that she always places a Christmas tree in each of her grandchildren's rooms so they can decorate it themselves.

It seems that Princess Catherine has inherited at least some of her mother's love for celebrating the autumnal holidays.

In 2019, she was seen shopping for Prince George and Princess Charlotte's Halloween costumes in a Norfolk store.

People.com reported that a bystander later disclosed that Catherine was asking them what they would be for Halloween.

We're sure that the Prince and Princess of Wales's three children will be keen to get involved in pumpkin decorating.

Now that the family lives near Carol and her husband, Michael, it'll be even easier for the Halloween fun to commence.

The Royals now reside at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, which is a short drive from where Catherine's parents are, as well as close to her sister, Pippa, and brother, James.

The children are also now settled at nearby school, Lambrook, where they are immersed in many subjects, including Latin and dance.

We know that Carol is a hands-on grandmother, and in an interview with Good Housekeeping, she said, “I want to run down the hills, climb the trees, and go through the tunnel at the playground as long as I'm able to.

That's what I'll be doing.

I'll cook with them, I'll muck around dancing, we'll go on bike rides.”

Despite the help of Catherine's mother and nanny, the Prince and Princess of Wales still prefer to be hands-on parents to their children.

The couple is often seen dropping off and collecting their children from their new school, and they love taking part in activities such as bike riding and baking.

However, it's not all fun and games for the children, as William and Catherine have reportedly laid down some household rules.

According to a source, this rule is one they are strict on following: there is to be no shouting in the house.

The insider told The Sun that shouting is absolutely off-limits for the children, and any hint of shouting at each other is dealt with by removal.

But rather than be sent off to their bedrooms or to the naughty step when they act up, the royal couple has a different technique.

The sofa chat.

The naughty child is taken away from the scene of the row or disruption and talked to calmly by either Catherine or William.

Things are explained, consequences are outlined, and they never shout at them.

In conclusion, Carol Middleton is excited to spend Halloween with her grandchildren, and it seems that the Royals are also keen on celebrating this autumnal holiday.

With their new home near Carol and their hands-on parenting style, William and Catherine are sure to create many happy memories with their children.

Despite laying down some household rules, they never resort to shouting but instead choose to have calm and rational conversations with their children.
