Carole Middleton and her husband Michael were among mourners at the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II
Wearing beautiful natural makeup, the Princess of Wales's mother wore her hair down in soft waves underneath a wide brimmed black hat adorned with feathers.
Princess Kate is incredibly close to her family and Middletons were naturally invited to the funeral, as they have been with royal weddings in the past. They also play a big role in helping raise the Wales children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
The Middletons arrived less than two hours before the Queen's funeral began at 11am
Following Prince William and Princess Kate's big decision to uproot their family from Kensington Palace in London and move to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, the Middletons are now a mere 40-minute drive away and will therefore be more present in the children's lives than ever.
The Middletons arrived more than an hour and a half before the Queen's funeral was set to begin at 11am. It is scheduled to last for one hour before a procession sets off at 12.15pm to Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, arriving at 1pm.
