Kehidupan awal, pendidikan, dan kerjaya awal

Michael Francis Middleton dilahirkan di Leeds pada 23 Jun 1949 dalam keluarga kaya. Dia menghabiskan tahun-tahun awalnya di Moortown, Leeds.^[1][2][3][4] Ahli sejarah diraja, Robert Lacey menggambarkan keluarga Middleton mempunyai persaudaraan bangsawan, dengan Florence Kitson, Baroness Airedale (1868–1942) yang merupakan saudara jauh.^[5] Keluarga Middleton, termasuk datuk Michael Richard Noël Middleton dan isterinya Olive, telah menjadi tuan rumah kepada ahli keluarga diraja British di Leeds dari tahun 1920-an.^[6][7][8][9]

Ibu Middleton ialah Valerie Middleton (née Glassborow, 1924–2006), yang berkhidmat sebagai jururawat VAD dan pemecah kod semasa Perang Dunia Kedua. Bapanya, Kapten Peter Middleton (1920–2010),^[10] ialah seorang juruterbang yang berkhidmat sebagai juruterbang pejuang RAF semasa Perang Dunia Kedua. Dia terbang bersama Putera Philip sebagai pembantu juruterbang dalam lawatan penerbangan selama dua bulan di Amerika Selatan pada tahun 1962. Filem akhbar British Pathé menunjukkan Middleton bersama putera raja semasa lawatan itu.^[11][12] Middleton mempunyai tiga adik beradik: Richard (lahir 1947),^[13] Simon (lahir 1952) dan Nicholas (lahir 1965).^[14][15] Anak lelaki Richard, Adam Middleton, adalah bapa baptis kepada cucu Michael, Puteri Charlotte. Kakak Adam Lucy Middleton – seorang peguam yang, seperti abangnya bersekolah di Bedales School–ialah ibu baptis kepada cucu Michael, Putera Louis.^{[16][17][18][19]}

Seperti bapa dan datuknya, Middleton mendapat pendidikan di Kolej Clifton, sebuah sekolah awam di Bristol. Di Clifton, ketiga-tiga generasi lelaki Middleton menumpang di Rumah Brown.^[20][21] Arkib di Clifton merekodkan bahawa Middleton adalah seorang praepostor, gelaran untuk seorang pengawas kolej. Middleton mewakili Clifton pada ragbi pada XV 1 dan juga memperoleh warna tenisnya.^[22][23]

Mengikuti Clifton, Middleton menghadiri Universiti Surrey yang menganugerahkan ijazah B.Sc (Hons) kepadanya pada tahun 1973 mengikut catatan dalam Daftar Kolej Clifton 1962–1978, yang diterbitkan oleh Majlis Kolej Clifton pada Oktober 1979.^[24] Middleton kemudiannya memulakan pengajian selama enam bulan di sekolah penerbangan British European Airways untuk menjadi juruterbang^[25] sebelum bertukar kepada kru darat di mana dia lulus dari kursus dalaman syarikat itu sendiri. Dia kemudian bekerja untuk British Airways sebagai penghantar penerbangan.^[26][27]

Perkahwinan dan keluarga

Middleton bertemu dengan bakal isterinya Carole ketika mereka bekerja untuk British Airways (BA) sebagai kru darat.^[28] Menjelang 1979, beliau dinaikkan pangkat sebagai penghantar pesawat, salah satu daripada British Airways ' Red Caps,^[29] di Lapangan Terbang Heathrow London. Mereka berkahwin pada 21 Jun 1980 di Gereja Paroki St James di Dorney, Buckinghamshire, dan kemudian membeli sebuah rumah Victoria di Bradfield Southend berhampiran Reading, Berkshire.^[30]

Middletons mempunyai tiga anak, dua anak perempuan dan seorang anak lelaki. Berikutan kelahiran Catherine Elizabeth (lahir 1982) dan Philippa Charlotte (lahir 1983),^[31] keluarga itu berpindah ke Amman, Jordan, di mana Michael bekerja sebagai pengurus BA dari 1984 hingga 1986.^[32] Anak bongsu mereka, James William, dilahirkan pada tahun 1987.

Kerjaya kemudiannya dan kekayaan yang diwarisi

Carole Middleton menubuhkan Party Pieces, sebuah syarikat yang membuat beg parti pada tahun 1987. Ia bercabang kepada bekalan dan hiasan parti melalui pesanan pos dan menjelang 1995 diuruskan oleh Michael dan Carole Middleton dan telah berpindah ke bangunan ladang di Ashampstead Common. The Middletons menjual Party Pieces pada Mei 2023 selepas ia jatuh ke dalam pentadbiran.^[33] Syarikat itu berhutang £2.6 juta kepada pemiutang apabila ia bankrap, termasuk £612,685 terhutang kepada HM Revenue and Customs dan £218,749 terhutang kepada Royal Bank of Scotland untuk pinjaman Gangguan Perniagaan Coronavirus.^[34][35] Laporan pentadbir syarikat menyatakan bahawa pemiutang tidak bercagar tidak mungkin dibayar.^[36]

Pada tahun 1995, Middletons membeli Oak Acre, sebuah rumah besar gaya Tudor di Bucklebury, Berkshire.^[37] Pada tahun 2002, Middletons membeli sebuah flat di Chelsea, di mana anak-anak mereka tinggal, yang akhirnya dijual dengan harga £1.88 juta pada 2019.^[38][39] Carole dan Michael Middleton juga merupakan pemilik kuda lumba. Menjelang 2012, Middletons telah berpindah ke Bucklebury Manor, sebuah rumah agam Georgia dengan ladang seluas 18 ekar tempat cucu mereka Putera George menghabiskan beberapa minggu pertamanya.^[40][41][42]

Perniagaan Middletons berjaya,^[43] dan bersama-sama dengan dana amanah yang diwarisi oleh Michael daripada nenek bangsawannya, Olive Christiana Middleton (née Lupton),^[44] membolehkan keluarga itu meneruskan tradisi keluarga Middleton menghantar anak-anak mereka ke sekolah bebas.^[45][46] Ketiga-tiga kanak-kanak telah dihantar ke Sekolah St Andrew, Pangbourne dan kedua-dua anak perempuan dihantar ke Downe House School, sekolah asrama perempuan di Cold Ash dan Kolej Marlborough, di Wiltshire. James juga menghadiri Marlborough.^[47]

Akhbar-akhbar British mencipta istilah Upper Middleton Class untuk menggambarkan kedudukan sosial keluarga;^[48][49] laporan lain merujuk kepada keluarga itu sebagai "dicetak [...] dengan sekelumit anteseden berdarah biru".^[50][51] Kekayaan mereka telah menyebabkan Middletons dilaporkan sebagai jutawan berbilang.^[52][53][54]
