Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle: their mothers have more than one point in common – Gala

gotha

One is white and british. The other is black and american. Carole Middleton and Doria Ragland, “mothers-in-law” of princes William and Harry, have, however, of course, and similar passions. Demonstration.

They have not yet encountered, but one can imagine them willingly sisterhood, in the living rooms frozen in Kensington. The matcha green tea, the favorite beverage of these two customers sharp, which flows into the porcelain Wedgwood. Anecdotes of booth, the first sas of its two former air hostesses, who are scrambling. The advice of a member fawning to the royal family for over six years, whispered in the ear of the other, a tourist landed its California, in the back of the butlers and housekeepers… They do not have the same skin color, not even citizenship, not have the same seniority within ” The Firm.” But Carole Middleton, mother of Kate, duchess of Cambridge, and Doria Ragland, mother of Meghan Markle, girlfriend of prince Harry, have more in common than it seems.

In terms of elegance, the second, a social worker and yoga teacher based in Los Angeles, is going to have to learn quickly. If the perfidious Albion has welcomed a slight loss of weight, and her choice of a lace top pink pastel-home-Burberry – dress that would not have denied Carole – in her first appearance alongside prince Harry, in the stands of the Invictus Games, Mrs Ragland has too often been surprised in leggings and UGG boots by paparazzi. Practice sun salutations and other contortions of new-age, no doubt. But not the best taste to do reverence before the queen or be listed on the official photos of the royal family of England. Not what this says, to frighten the mother of the one that we imagine under a white veil, on the arm of Harry. If Carole Middleton arrived…

The two patches of the clan Windsor have done their nails on the rungs of the social ladder with the same determination. Today at the head of Party Pieces, a very flourishing enterprise of articles dedicated to the feast, the mother of Kate is from a family of miners. Worship of the effort, a small job of a salesperson at C&A, and uniform of the British Airways, before marrying Richard Middleton, a dashing steward, and to weigh the 33 million euros of their society in the royal trash wedding of their youngest. Doria Ragland, she is the great-great-granddaughter of a slave, whose sweat and blood have soaked the cotton fields of the american South. The daughter of an antique dealer and the wife of a chief, lighting designer, Thomas Markle, met while she was working as a temporary employee in a hollywood studio. Intercultural marriage was cut short, but Doria did not remain to the ground. Sharing custody of Meghan with her ex-husband, she rolled up the sleeves as flight attendants on short-haul flights.

It is with the same excellence and distinction that Carole Middleton and Doria Ragland, have raised their girls. Both educated in public schools, they have privileged private education for their offspring. Meghan Markle has learned to read and count on the benches of the Hollywood Little Red Schoolhouse, elementary school attended in the past by Liz Taylor and Judy Garland. She has done her high school, in the midst of other adolescent girls, at the Catholic Immaculate Heart High School, charging 13 000 euro per year. Then, head to the prestigious Northwestern University, in Illinois, to studying theatre and international relations. Made famous by the series Suits, the girlfriend of prince Harry is the first in her family to graduate from a university.

External at Downe House, very select establishment for young girls located in Kent, south-east London, Kate Middleton has, it, passed through the county of Wiltshire and the Marborough College, including tuition fees amounted to more than 34 000 euros, before completing its merger with prince William on the campus of the university of St Andrews, Scotland.

The fantasy of the ” royal wedding “, this may be the only point of divergence between Carole Middleton and Doria Ragland : if the first has controlled its predecessor up to the great organ of the abbey of Westminster and certainly does not avoid pleasure his pleasure to appear behind Elizabeth II, the second is simply to remind his daughter that it was ” never selling out;” ( ” never give the milk away for free “, in the original version). Under the sun of California, Buckingham and Balmoral still have the charm distant postcards. But everything is possible around a cup of matcha… Come on, darling Doria !
