An Indian-origin Singh family is now living in a tiny terrace house in which Prince William’s bride-to-be Kate Middleton’s mother grew up,with the occupants saying they are “lucky” to have a home with such a history.
According to the Daily Express,Carole Middleton lived in the ‘tiny pebble-dashed terrace house’,but will soon be more used to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
Carole,55,and her brother Gary were brought up in relative poverty by their parents,shop assistant Dorothy and lorry driver Ronald Goldsmith.
When the family lived in the street in the early sixties it was a staunchly working class area with many residents working in nearby factories.
The present occupants of the house in Hartington Road,the Singh family,had no idea their home was connected to the Middletons.
Warehouse worker Jorawar Singh,23,shares the property with his five cousins and brothers.
Singh said: “I would never have thought that anyone related to the Royal Family would live in this house. I’m very surprised but this is good news for the area.”
His cousin,Amarpreet Kaur,29,said: “I’m very pleased. We’re lucky to have a house with such a history.”
Shop manager Resham Nirmal,32,said: “The mum of the future Queen lived here? Incredible. It makes me feel royal as well.”
