"Meeting the in-laws can be nerve-wracking-- especially when your daughter is marrying into the royal family!\r\n\r\nKate Middleton&amp;apos;s parents, Carole and Michael, joined Queen Elizabeth for an introductory lunch on Wednesday. A palace source tells Us Weekly: &amp;quot;Catherine&amp;apos;s parents, Carole and Michael, had a private lunch with Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle today.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThis was the Middletons&amp;apos; first time meeting the Queen, 84. The source told Us: &amp;quot;Neither Kate nor William were present, however, certain members of the royal household were present.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nMiddleton&amp;apos;s parents came from humble beginnings: they both worked as flight attendants prior to founding Party Pieces, a mail order company that sells party supplies and decorations.\r\nFor more on the Royal Wedding, including rare photos, interviews     with family and friends, details on Kate&amp;apos;s new life as a princess and  a       tour of their lavish homes, order a copy of Us Weekly&amp;apos;s Will &amp;amp; Kate: The Royal Wedding now."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
