#23: Family is Forever
It is no secret that in the past when commoners join the royal family, they might become somewhat ostracized from the outside world, including their families. Keeping up with your family, as well as all your other royal duties must make for a very busy schedule.
But when it comes to the Duchess, there is no way she is letting any royal business get in the way of her family. The Duchess maintains a very close relationship with her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, as well as with her siblings, Pippa and James. William even takes a very big interest in her family, as they go on an annual skiing holiday to the Trois Vallees in the French Alps.
