Duchess of CambridgeU.S. parents want to welcome Ukrainian refugees to their Berkshire home, The Mail could reveal on Sunday.

Carroll and Michael Middleton are understood to be investigating plans to build an annexe at the manor house in Bucklebury Village, which they bought a decade ago for £4.7 million.

“Buckalbury is home to a large number of refugees and Carroll is consulting villagers and seeking information on how the process has worked for others in the area,” a source said.

Neighbors who have already provided sanctuary include broadcasters Chris Tarrant and . Are included Tory Politician Lord Benyon, a friend of Middleton’s, who recently organized a fundraising for refugees at his luxurious home.

The source added: ‘Carol talked about making refugees feel like they have their own place in their home and talking about the logistics of how it all works. There has been some back and forth conversation about this.

‘Carol suggested that she and some of those who are housing refugees should get to know each other and because she wanted to find a way to house the refugees herself. She is very charitable and wants to be known for her philanthropic nature as well as her business.

It is believed that an option is being considered to convert the living room at the seven-bedroom Bucklebury Manor into separate accommodation for a family fleeing Ukraine.

However, given the regular visits to the property by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, security issues still remain to be considered.

Carol and Michael (also pictured at Wimbledon) are believed to be having discussions with friends.

A villager in Bucklebury said, ‘Carol doesn’t have many buildings and Kate’s security lives in the main house, so she must find a way to work safely. Carol is very popular here and has done wonders for the community and the family farm. He is a real tour de force.

Mrs Middleton, 67, who founded the event supply firm Party Pieces in 1987, is already involved with Bucklebury Farm Park, a pet zoo owned by her son-in-law James Matthews – daughter Pippa’s husband – that serves Ukrainian refugees. Offers free admission.

The source added: ‘Carol is looking for other ways to support some of the refugees while she unravels the logistics to accommodate them at her home.

‘She has looked into hosting a fundraiser for refugees or a village social event that could take place on the farm.’

Former Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host Chris Tarrant spoke in May about taking on three generations of a Ukrainian family. He said: ‘I love them. [The grandmother] Doesn’t speak English at all. She just keeps thumbing up on me and going, “Safe.”

‘Mom of the little girl, she’s almost 30 and she speaks fluent English, and the little girl just growled in Ukrainian, I think, but she’s ten months old, she’s just about to walk. She’s living a normal life and you think, “What if she was left behind?” ,

William and Kate have also supported refugees fleeing the Russian invasion.

Visiting a Ukrainian cultural center in west London in March, the duke said: ‘Everyone is horrified by what they are seeing … for our generation, seeing it in Europe is very different.

‘We’re all right behind you. we are thinking of you.’

The government launched the House for Ukraine plan in March after war broke out with people wanting to provide housing with refugees.

The Home Office says around 62,000 Ukrainians have been held so far, but many families have complained of excessive red tape.

Middleton declined to comment last night.
