== Family of Kate Middleton == 

 Hi Helen, 
 Thankyou for being so helpful. I am not a computer whiz. Hoping you can help -I have read in a number of articles that Kate's great grandmother was from a "landed gentry" family. Infact page 3 of the UK Telegraph and also the Daily Mail had pictures of BEECHWOOD  estate grade 2 listed etc etc . These shots of the estate - in the Lupton family until 1998 - had not been seen by the public. The estate's farmlansd was sold off in the 195o's creating vast wealth for Francis' descendants.  By 2000, the Georgian mansion itself was sold - more money for Francis' descendants. The word "aristocratic" was used to describe Olive in the BBC tv show screened befor Kate and William married. It seems that "clever" people who read these papers and watch the BBC know the truth of the  Middleton's families wealth - should wikipaedia readers know about it too OR should we let them just think of Kate as a commoner who somehow had parents with ALOT of MONEY!! 
 What do you think?
