They were all married in a christian church, but even if her grandfather had jewish heritage, he died fighting for his country in ww1.
I would like to know what being Jewish has to do with fighting for the country you live in.
No, she wasn't since in Judaism, inheritance is matrilineal. Certainly Carole Middleton was born Carole Goldsmith, but her mother was Christian, and whilst some liberal Jews accept patrilineal descent, they only do so if the child has affirmed his or her Judiasm via Brit Milah, Bar Mitzvah, or through instruction in Judaism, such as attending a Jewish school. Carol Goldsmith did none of these, and so under Jewish law is deemed Christian. Furthermore, she married a practising member of the Church of England, Michael Middleton. It is also important to note that Michael and Carole Middleton chose to send their children to a High Anglican school: Shrewsbury. However, it is a fact that the now Duchess of Cambridge had a nominally Jewish maternal grandfather. But even if her mother, Carole, had been Jewish (and she isn't for all of the foregoing reasons), Kate herself has been confirmed and received into the Church of England, and took her marriage vows from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, thereby affirming her Christian faith.
There is a lot of speculation as to the religious status of Kate Middleton's mother, Carole. Despite rumors stating that Carole has Jewish roots on her mother's side, there is no concrete evidence to that fact rather more pointing that there is no Jewish line in the Middleton family.
Princess Kate Middleton, or whatever her last name is now (Windsor?), might one day become the Queen of England. That is, if she should remain married to Prince William and should he one day actually ascend the throne and become king.
Ladaat.net has a analyzed Middleton's family records, and has found on her mother's side of the family many Jewish names, leading them to conclude that there is a good chance that, even if she does not know it, Princess, and possibly future Queen of England, Kate Middleton might very well be Jewish.
I say we send some Chabadniks after her. Get her to start lighting candles and going to the Royal Mikveh. Maybe William will eventually convert. And then what? I don't know what having a Jewish Queen of England might do for us, but it probably cannot hurt too much.
I checked out some other websites, and there seems to be no definitive answer to the question "Is Kate Middleton Jewish?", but it seems almost definite that she has some Jewish ancestry.
Kate Middleton is not half Jewish. There seems to be a link to the Jewish faith in her lineage but it is at least five generations removed. She is Anglican.
No. Kate Middleton, is not Jewish.
Her maternal ancestry is very much Jewish though.
No. They are Anglican Christians.
Kate Middleton was born on January 9, 1982
-- A person is not a Jew unless born of a Jewish mother. -- There is no "also".
A child is born Jewish if the child's mother is Jewish.
Yes. In fact, a child born to a Jewish mother is a Jewish child.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, popularly known as 'Kate Middleton' in the headlines, has lived in the quiet, quaint village of Bucklebury, Berkshire, England with her family (the Middletons) since she turned 12 and the Middletons moved into a five-bedroom detached house in Bucklebury nestled in the English countryside called 'Oak Acre'.
Jesus was a Jew because he was born to a Jewish mother and observed Jewish rituals.
His mother was Jewish. That's what it takes to be born Jewish. No more, no less.
In Jewish Law, the baby is Jewish because of the mother, so he can have the ritual circumcision.
Seems unlikely. She is descended from King Edward IV. Her mother's mother's name was Dorothy Harrison, an uncommon name in the Jewish world. That would be what matters for her to be Jewish. Her father's name was Goldsmith, a name that can be Jewish but just means that some ancestor was a goldsmith. However, tracing the line back into the 19th century, we find that John Goldsmith was a brickmaker and laborer, not typical Jewish trades in 19th century London.
Knopfler was born in Glasgow, Scotland, to an English mother and a Hungarian Jewish father.
A person is Jewish if their mother was born Jewish, or if they properly accepted and converted to Judaism.
Max is born to a Christian mother and a Jewish father. He was raised closer to the Jewish faith.
