Amid Catherine Middleton’s battle with cancer, her family is facing the financial consequences of the collapse of their business. Catherine’s parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, are struggling with mounting debts and the consequences of closing Party Pieces. Despite the difficulties, Carol is focused on taking care of her daughter.

On March 22, 2024, Catherine Middleton, Princess of Wales, announced in a video that she had started undergoing cancer treatment. The diagnosis was made during a postoperative examination after abdominal surgery in January 2024.

While Catherine is undergoing cancer treatment, her family is facing significant debts that they allegedly cannot repay. Carol and Michael Middleton, who are also the parents of Pippa and James Middleton, are facing problems related to the bankruptcy of their company, Party Pieces Company, worth more than $329,000.

The company tasked with managing Carol’s insolvent business has admitted that the couple is unable to cover all expenses in full. The Party Pieces company, founded by the Middletons in 1987, went into administration in June 2024, leaving creditors with $3.28 million in debt.
