Cheltenham\u2019s Ladies\u2019 Day has always been a talking point, thanks to its glamorous attendees and eye-catching fashion, but Wednesday\u2019s event was particularly memorable thanks to one guest in particular: Carole Middleton<\/a>. The Princess of Wales\u2019s mother<\/a> made a grand comeback following a period largely spent away from public royal life, arriving arm in arm with Zara Tindall<\/a> and sharing friendly moments with Princess Anne and the Queen.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a significant moment,\u201d says royal biographer and commentator Angela Levin. \u201cI was quite shocked seeing the pictures \u2013 I thought it was absolutely extraordinary.\u201d Levin was struck not just by Middleton\u2019s appearance right at the centre of the royal fold, but by her intimate and animated exchanges with members of the family, especially the giddy laughter she shared with Tindall. \u201cPeople are usually holding back because they\u2019re with the Royal family. They don\u2019t laugh like anything.\u201d Middleton, 71, also demonstrated her sense of humour by pretending to look away when Tindall shared a kiss with her husband, Mike Tindall.<\/p>\n Middleton was later seen in the royal box alongside the Queen and Princess Anne, enjoying the festivities and even, at one point, hugging the Princess Royal. Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty<\/em> magazine and a royal biographer, observes that Middleton\u2019s presence suggests a high-level endorsement. \u201cI believe she must have been invited by the Queen to have been in the royal box, since Her Majesty was hosting the box. If Carole was there for the whole day, she likely would have been a lunch guest [with the Royal family] too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.telegraph.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cheltenham\u2019s Ladies\u2019 Day has always been a talking point, thanks to its glamorous attendees and eye-catching fashion, but Wednesday\u2019s event was particularly memorable thanks to one guest in particular: Carole Middleton.
