The Duchess of Cambridge‘s mother, Carole Middleton, is set to celebrate her 67th birthday on 31
January.
Carole’s company Party Pieces released a heartwarming
statement on Instagram to mark her special day – but it was published a day
early by mistake. In a now-deleted post, the company shared a black and white
photo of Carole beaming at the camera, surrounded by children in party hats –
which appeared to be a young Kate, Pippa and James Middleton.
The post read: “Happiest of Birthdays to the party planner
extraordinaire! We hope you have the most magical day.”
Kate’s mother will no doubt be spoiled by her husband Michael and
their family as she marks her 67th birthday on Monday. Last year, the
businesswoman spoke about how she planned to celebrate her special day during
England’s third lockdown.

In an Instagram post for her company Party Pieces at the time,
she wrote: “If like me, your birthday falls during the cold, dark days of
winter, your loved ones can still make the day full of surprises. Our customers
have been transforming their surroundings with our sparkly backdrops and bright
balloons for small ‘at-home’ parties for their households. While party trends
might change, one thing has always stayed the same: celebrating is our way of
making a fuss of the people we love.”

Carole founded her party planning business in 1987
Celebrations are clearly important to Duchess Kate’s mother, who founded
her party planning company back in 1987.
The website reads: “We curate the most attractive, best value
party decorations, games and tableware, and if you’re celebrating at a
distance, we can deliver personalized cakes, balloons and banners to your loved
one’s doorstep. We know how much love and care you put into your planning, and
our party expertise will help you turn a milestone into a memory”.
