children s education. as the middletons saw success, they sent their kids to private school. kate was 13 when she came here to downhouse, arriving confident, happy. but that would soon change. she went at the age of 13, rather than 11 and most of the girls started at 11. so they were already they already had their circles. they did. and i think it was very difficult for her to find her feet there. and she was one of the very few girls from a working class background attending that school. carol middleton wasted no time. she immediately switched kate to a nearby boarding school. marlborough was a big school. ali baines went to school with kate. boarding schools if they re not happy are miserable. there s very few in between. for kate it was a tough
cameras. the final question, i know we saw the middleton s, kate s parents today, we saw charles and camilla. what about harry and pippa? harry i know is incredibly close to william and kate. he will not be far away. when you think about having your own babies, you want that beginning bit to be very private. so then this is their baby, but it is also a baby of some importance. india hicks, thank you so much. we appreciate talking to you, were perspective there, thank you. we will continue to watch and follow as we now know this car with royal baby in the royal baby seat are enroute to their home.

it s trending, and of course the ledge end of king arthur. i m curious, how big a role do you think her parents will play? traditionally historically the in-laws haven t always played a big roles. you re right. the in-laws don t often play a but william has been keen making sure they re close to the middletons. just last christmas, they spent christmas with the middletons don t do that. royals are normally with the queens. the fact that they re the first grandparents there this morning to visit, the only living grandmother, so i think they ll stay closely nit. max, you have the unique perspective of big outside of the hospital. is max still out there? reporter: i am here. the middletons are about to come
gentle rolling hills, quaint country pubs. it s the place kate middleton calls home. wherever you go, it s just fabulous around here. there s two pubs in the village and there s a church and that s all. john haley owns one of those pubs. what is the community like? would you say people keep to themselves or is it tight-knit and kind of everybody knows everybody s business? it s a good mix. no, nobody know s everybody s business but they do look after each other. he s known the middletons for 16 years. they re part of the community and they mix well because they ve been here for many, many years. they re a great family. carol goldsmith and michael middleton met while working for a british airline. they met in 1980. the oldest of three children, kate was born in 1982.
