Parents of Michael Middleton

modifier

Michael Middleton's father was commercial pilot and RAF officer Capt. Peter Francis Middleton (1920–2010).[1][2] He studied English at New College, Oxford and after leaving in 1940 served as a RAF fighter pilot during the Second World War. Commissioned as a pilot officer (on probation) in the RAFVR on 9 March 1941,[3] he was confirmed in his rank and promoted to flying officer (war-substantive) on 9 March 1942.[4] In May 1942, he was posted to No 37 Service Flying School in Calgary, Canada where he spent two-and-a-half years as an instructor, training Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster pilots, receiving a promotion to flight lieutenant (war-substantive) on 9 March 1943.[5] After joining the reservist 605 Squadron at Manston, near Ramsgate in Kent, in August 1944, Middleton flew a de Havilland Mosquito fighter bomber, nudging the wings of unmanned German V1 flying aircraft to divert them from hitting London. After the war, Middleton joined British European Airways as a pilot, but remained in the reconstituted RAFVR, receiving a reserve commission as a flying officer on 12 August 1949.[6] Promoted to flight lieutenant on 1 March 1951,[7] he relinquished his reserve commission on 12 August 1959.[8]

On a two-month tour of South America in 1962, Prince Philip piloted 49 of the tour's 62 flights with Peter Middleton as his co-pilot. He sent Middleton a letter of thanks and a pair of gold cufflinks. British Pathe newsreel captured Middleton and Prince Philip during the tour.[9] Middleton met his granddaughter's fiancé, Prince William, on his 90th birthday and William attended Middleton's funeral in November 2010.[9][10][11]

Michael's mother, Valerie Glassborow (1924–2006) worked at the Second World War Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) in Bletchley Park, along with her twin sister, Mary. Valerie and Mary Glassborow were children of Frederick Glassborow and Constance Robinson.[12] Codebreaking penetrated the secret communications of the Axis Powers – most importantly the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers and is the birthplace of the world's first programmable, digital, electronic computer: Colossus.[13] Her Bletchley Park colleague and friend, Lady Body (née Marion Graham), recalled in 2014 that she had shared a "rather special moment" with Valerie: "Our superior officer, Commander Williams, came into the room smiling and he said, ‘Well done, girls. A signal has been intercepted from Tokyo to Geneva and it's the signal that the Japanese are surrendering'. He told us that a message has gone to the King and the Prime Minister but that it could not be announced until Geneva has sent on the message to London."[14]

Grandparents of Michael Middleton

Heiress Olive Christiana Middleton - Michael Middleton's grandmother

Trust funds had been established from the fortunes of Michael Middleton's grandmother - heiress Olive Middleton (1881–1936), a member of the Lupton family. Olive was a student at Roedean[15] and was accepted to study at Cambridge University.[16] Olive's husband was Richard Noel Middleton (1878–1951), a solicitor who had "met and married the aristocrat" in 1914.[17][18] In 1921, he became a director of the company his wife had inherited from her father.[19] Members of the Lupton family owned the Newton Park and Beechwood estates in Leeds, the latter being the family seat where, for decades, the "whole family would gather".[20] The Lupton family are described in the Leeds City Council's photographic archive as "woollen manufacturers and landed gentry; a political and business dynasty".[21][22][23][24]

Olive Middleton's cousin Baroness Airedale at the coronation of George V; the two cousins worked together for the war effort during the Great War

Olive Middleton's family had contributed to the political life of both the UK and to the civic life of Leeds, especially in the areas of education, housing, and public health, for several generations.[22] Several members were Lord Mayors of Leeds. The Luptons were prominent Unitarians and worshipped at Mill Hill Chapel, where a stained glass window commemorates the family.[25]

During the First World War, Olive Middleton worked for the war effort at Gledhow Hall, the home of her second cousin, Florence, Baroness Airedale which was used as a VAD hospital, with Olive's cousin, The Hon. Doris Kitson and sister-in-law, Gertrude Middleton, as volunteer nurses. Olive Middleton's brother, Lionel Lupton attended Trinity College, Cambridge at the same time as Princess Diana's grandfather Albert Spencer, 7th Earl Spencer, where both men studied the same subject. The two men joined up together to fight in the Great War which saw Lionel and his two brothers killed.[26][27][28]

Beechwood Estate

Beechwood Estate, Roundhay

Olive Middleton's father, Francis Martineau Lupton, was the eldest son and heir of Francis Lupton and grew up initially on the family's Newton Park Estate[29] and then their Georgian Beechwood Estate, in Roundhay.[30][31] Whereas the family eventually sub-divided Newton Park,[32] the Beechwood estate was entailed to Olive's eldest brother, Francis Ashford Lupton who lacked a male heir. His death on 26 February 1917 followed the deaths of his two brothers - all First World War casualties. Their father's death occurred in 1921. Their sisters - Anne Lupton and Olive Middleton - were prohibited from inheriting Beechwood and the estate succeeded to their father's brother, Arthur G. Lupton. Arthur's only son, Major Arthur Michael Lupton, tragically died in 1929 following an accident on his horse the previous year whilst fox hunting on the Bramham Moor Hunt and Beechwood passed to his only son, Tom Lupton. As Tom was only nine at the time of his father's death, his aunts, Elinor and Elizabeth (Bessie) Lupton - " The Misses Lupton" - were granted a life interest in Beechwood and continued to live there, occasionally opening their gardens to the public.[33] After their deaths, (Elizabeth in 1977, Elinor in 1979), their nephew, Tom, inherited Beechwood and in 2016, Tom's children retain some of the Beechwood Estate.[34][35][36]

Olive Middleton's first cousin, Leeds Lady Mayoress Elinor Lupton, played host to the Princess Royal which included attending a music concert together in Leeds on 27 May 1943. Elinor shared great-grandparents with Beatrix Potter who had given Elinor her own hand-drawn watercolour Christmas cards. Both Elinor and her sister died as spinsters.[37][38][39][40]

Two of Olive Middleton's uncles were Lord Mayors of Leeds: Hugh Lupton and Sir Charles Lupton who was Deputy Lieutenant of Yorkshire County (West Riding) when Princess Mary's father-in-law, the 5th Earl of Harewood, was his Lord Lieutenant.[41][42]

In 2018, Olive Middleton's great-granddaughter, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, stated that her patronage of the Nursing Now campaign meant a lot to her personally as both her great-grandmother, Olive Middleton, and grandmother, Valerie Middleton, were volunteer nurses.[43][44][45][43][46]

Ancestry of Michael Middleton

modifier
Francis W. Lupton, Esq. (died 1884) - great great grandfather of Michael Middleton

Michael Middleton's great grandfather - politician Francis Martineau Lupton[47] - was the son of Francis Lupton, Esq., whose marriage to Frances Greenhow on 1st July, 1847 is listed in The Patrician - John Burke's supplement to Burke's Peerage.[48] Frances Lupton was a pioneer of girls' education who co-founded Leeds Girls' High School. Her maternal family was the Martineau family of Norwich and later, Birmingham; her aunt, the sociologist Harriet Martineau was especially close to her.[49] London's National Portrait Gallery, holds nearly 20 portraits of Middleton's ancestors; siblings Harriet and Dr James Martineau, a friend of Queen Victoria.[50]

The Rev. Thomas Davis, a Church of England hymn-writer is Michael Middleton's paternal ancestor.[51][52][53][54]

Potternewton Hall Estate, near Leeds - home to generations of Michael Middleton's ancestors, including his grandmother, Olive Middleton (née Lupton)

Michael Middleton's family tree is linked, via his Leeds-born cousin, Lady Bullock (née Barbara Lupton),[55] to William Petty-FitzMaurice, 1st Marquess of Lansdowne, Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1782–83. Through his direct ancestor, Dame Anne Fairfax (née Gascoigne), Michael Middleton has several descents from King Edward III.[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63]

According to genealogists Patrick Cracroft-Brennan and Anthony Adolph, Michael Middleton's children descend, via their mother, from Elizabeth Plantagenet, King Edward IV's illegitimate daughter by Elizabeth Lucy, via Sir Thomas Blakiston Conyers, 9th Bt. of Horden, Durham.[64][65] Catherine and Prince William's closest common ancestors are Sir William Blakiston of Gibside and his wife Jane Lambton, making them eleventh cousins once removed,[64][65] These findings echo Christopher Challender Child's research, published in 2011.[66]

The Blakiston-Bowes Cabinet, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provided proof that Catherine shared ancestry with Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Catherine and the Queen Mother share a common ancestor, County Durham's Sir William Blakiston, whose great granddaughter, Elizabeth Blakiston, married into the Bowes-Lyon family who were ancestors of the Queen Mother, née Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The cabinet was made in Newcastle upon Tyne to celebrate the union of the two families. Reports suggest that Catherine and the Queen Mother's blood cousinship was the reason Catherine wore the Queen Mother's tiara when she wed Prince William.[67][68][69]

Television and film portrayals

modifier

William & Kate, a television movie about Catherine's romance, was released on 18 April 2011, with Catherine and William played by Camilla Luddington and Nico Evers-Swindell respectively. Other members of the Middleton family were played by: Christopher Cousins (Michael Middleton), Serena Scott Thomas (Carole Middleton), Mary Elise Hayden (Pippa Middleton), and Calvin Goldspink (James Middleton).[70] A number of television programmes were also shown in the UK before the wedding which provided deeper insights into the couple's relationship and backgrounds, including When Kate Met William[71] and Channel 4's Meet the Middletons.[72]
