How posh are the Middleton's?

[Explodingatomickittens]

Just that! The children have married really well!

They shop in the local Waitrose.

‘The children’ are in their 40s

😂

Also there isn’t a scale upon which one can place poshness.

I married really well, I shop in the local Waitrose but I'm far from posh! Is there a poshness scale I'm unaware of? 🤗

They are firmly middle class and had big aspirations.

is this off the back of Pip in her scanties in the daily mail today?

Middle class

Yes. It’s called the Cholmondeley Scale.

If you have to ask what the scale’s criteria are then you’re not on it.

This really made me laugh 😁

I would put him a bit posher than middle as they have a decent income from their own business. That said some entrepreneurs are rough as fuck.

Well posh

Definitely too posh for an apostrophe. I’m sure they leave them to the greengrocer 😏 😂

We have very different definitions of "married well".

I definitely don't dream of my children marrying into the royal family

For actually posh people I would assume they aren’t posh at all. The other pupils at their school used to make fun of their mother’s job, for example.

Not posh at all. The parents are self-made middle class people from normal backgrounds. The daughters have attended elite private schools, good universities and married rich, high-status men, so their children will be posh / royalty.

Mixed. Very posh/titled on the dad's side. Less so on the mum's side. But firmly upper middle class anyway.

The thing about the royals is they sit atop A set of titles, and traditionally would have to have married someone from a titled family (Duke of X, Earl of X etc)

Not at all posh, and absolutely not upper-middle class. "New money" middle-class, whose children have become firmly middle-middle class thanks to their education. Income plays no role in social class.

I think rich is often mistaken for posh

Very posh by my standards, but reading this makes me realise I am a pleb

They’re upper middle class which is basically posh without status

Give over. They're self-made lower middle class people who spotted a gap in the market for tat (though good for them).

Middletons. It's posh to use correct grammar 😉

That says more about the other people than it does about Carol Middleton, though.

...and punctuation.

Guess it depends as to whether people think they can transition through classes, or you will always be what you were born into.
