I'm not from the commonwealth but I find that argument archaic, the modern definition of middle class has nothing to do with nobility.

Modern society doesn't really have a class system. If Care Blanchett turned up to the local cafe she would join the queue. However, her wealth means her driver probably would instead.

I don't consider her .middle class any more but she herself does, probably as that's how she sees herself from growing up and her values/upbringing. Shes just fortunate enough to now be incredibly wealthy too.
