The Princess of Wales’ parents are already grandparents to Catherine and William’s three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’ children, Arthur, Grace and Rose.

Carole has previously opened up to Good Housekeeping about being a “hands on” grandmother. “I want to run down the hills, climb the trees and go through the tunnel at the playground,” she shared. “As long as I am able to, that’s what I’ll be doing. I cook with them, I muck around dancing, we go on bike rides.”
