Members of the Middleton family have been related to the British royal family by marriage since the wedding of Catherine Middleton and Prince William in April 2011, when she became the Duchess of Cambridge. The couple has three children, George, Charlotte and Louis. Tracing their origins back to the Tudor era, the Middleton family of Yorkshire of the late 18th century were recorded as owning property of the Rectory Manor of Wakefield. The land passed down to solicitor William Middleton who established the family law firm in Leeds which spawned five generations. Some members of the firm inherited woollen mills after the Great War. By the turn of the 20th century, the Middleton family had married into the British aristocracy and, by the 1920s, the family were playing host to the British royal family.
