Are the Middletons still rich?

Although the princess was technically a commoner prior to marrying Prince William, she comes from a wealthy family. The Middletons own a popular party supply business called Party Pieces, and their shared net worth is about $50 million.



Yes, the Middleton family remains significantly wealthy, though their primary source of liquid income has shifted since the closure of their business, Party Pieces, in 2023. Before the company faced financial difficulties, it was valued at millions of pounds, allowing Michael and Carole Middleton to purchase Bucklebury Manor, a £4.7 million Georgian estate in Berkshire. Beyond the family business, both Michael and Carole come from backgrounds with generational wealth; Michael’s ancestors established a trust fund worth millions in the early 20th century, which helped fund the elite education of their children, including Catherine, Princess of Wales. While Party Pieces was sold following an administration process, the family’s net worth is still estimated to be in the range of £30 million to £50 million ($38M–$63M). Their wealth is diversified into real estate and private investments. Furthermore, their status as the parents of the future Queen of the United Kingdom provides them with a level of social and "soft" financial security that places them firmly within the upper echelons of the British elite, far removed from any standard financial struggle.
