She’s almost 70 but recent shots of Carole Middleton looking stylish in a Tory Burch blouse and high-waisted jeans drew comparisons to her 40-year-old daughter

Thanks to the success of her Party Pieces business, about to roll out in ShopRites across the US, Carole was able to put her daughters through private school

She’s 67 years old, the owner of a lucrative business that’s set to expand globally, and her daughter is now the Princess of Wales. Yep, Carole Middleton, mother of Kate Middleton, is crushing it both personally and professionally – and honestly doesn’t look a day over 50.

The resemblance between mother and daughter was obvious from photos of Middleton promoting the upcoming festive season for her party business. With little make-up, indigo high-waisted jeans and her hair styled in a relaxed bob, it’s hard to believe Middleton is just three years shy of 70.

According to British media, in one image published on the Party Pieces website, Middleton sported a cream Tory Burch blouse, and in another, a long sleeve rose wrap top with buttons.

A similarly flattering photograph of Middleton posing in her garden to promote the company’s Halloween items was also well received online, with netizens commenting that she was “ageing like a fine wine” and that Kate was “getting a sneak preview of what she will look like in 25 years. Her mum looks fantastic”.

Kate also famously opts for low-key or natural make-up, favouring a subtle lip gloss in a natural hue. In fact, when Kate does something different with her make-up – like wear lipliner – it literally makes global headlines, as Hello! pointed out.
