Kate Middleton's brother, James Middleton, reveals battle with depression - NZ Herald (https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=12189316)

I knew that he'd been diagnosed with dyslexia, but didn't realize until reading this that it was a moderate-severe disability.  Apparently he was just diagnosed with ADHD as well in the last couple of years.
Glad to see that he chose to seek treatment.

QuoteYou may wonder why I have chosen to speak now about the clinical depression that first hit me at the end of 2016. There are two reasons.

Firstly, I feel ? although I?d never say I am cured of it ? that now I understand it and, with professional help, have worked out strategies for coping. Today, I feel a new sense of purpose and zest for life.

Secondly ? and perhaps most importantly ? I feel compelled to talk about it openly because this is precisely what my brother-in-law Prince William, my sister Catherine and Prince Harry are advocating through their mental health charity Heads Together.

They believe we can only tackle the stigma associated with mental illness if we have the courage to change the national conversation, to expel its negative associations. So it wouldn?t be honest to suppress my story. I want to speak out, and they are my motivation for doing so.

@amabel-Here are the reasons that he gave for opening up about his depression in the article he wrote for the DM.

Kate Middleton's Brother James Wrote a Powerful Essay About Mental Health | Glamour (https://www.glamour.com/story/james-middleton-depression-essay)
Title: Re: James and Alizee Middleton and Family Chat
Post by: TLLK on January 13, 2019, 05:26:12 PM
QuoteAccording to the World Health Organization, depression is an extremely common mental health disorder affecting more than 300 million people of all ages worldwide. But despite its wide reach, depression?as with many other mental health conditions?is often culturally stigmatized. In the UK, open discussions around depression and other mental health issues are still largely more taboo than not?for men in particular?making Middleton's essay especially important. "For many men, opening up about their feelings is the biggest social taboo," wrote Chris Hemmings in 2016 for the Independent, a British newspaper. Instead, he writes, "[we] bury our heads in the sand?or bottle, to be more accurate, as alcoholism rates for men in the UK are three times that of women." A report from the UK's Mental Health Foundation places suicide?which, the report reads is "associated with depressive disorders across the globe"?as the leading cause of death in the UK among people 20 to 34 years old, with more than three times as many men as women dying as a result of suicide.

Despite his sister's advocacy and the fact that the Middleton family had become "desperately worried" about his well-being, James writes that he found it difficult to open up to them at first, explaining that often with depression, "those who are closest to you are the hardest to speak to." Ultimately, it was the royals' years-long advocacy for openness around mental health that helped James come forward with his own story.

Kate Middleton's Brother James Wrote a Powerful Essay About Mental Health | Glamour (https://www.glamour.com/story/james-middleton-depression-essay)

As most of us have read,  Harry and William have prioritized working with men and male service members to urge them to seek treatment for depression, PTSD, and other mental health concerns. Harry is focusing on the returning and active service members and IMO bravely shared about his own mental health struggles in recent years. William is focusing on reducing the UK's male suicide rate.

Glad that James acknowledged the work being done by Heads Together, the Cambridges and Prince Harry  when they started the campaign.

It appears that he's also volunteering with a pet therapy program.

QuoteInstead of accepting payment for the piece, he decided to instead ask for donations to two charities - one of which is Heads Together, the mental health cause Kate founded with husband Prince William and brother-in-law Prince Harry. A note at the end of the piece reads: "No fee has been paid for this article. At James? request a donation has been made to Pets As Therapy and Heads Together."

I think he addressed that in the article - he felt it would help take the stigma out of mental illness and he also wanted those in pain to know that keeping it to oneself makes it worse. I agree that it was a great article and really conveyed the pain he has endured.

@sandy-I agree that he's not really a public figure , but he is an individual who has shared his own experience with clinical depression with a very honest and detailed article. There might be others struggling with depression, especially men who  might recognize a similarity to their own mental, emotional and physical symptoms. Hopefully this might inspire someone to seek help. :)
Title: Re: James and Alizee Middleton and Family Chat
Post by: royalanthropologist on January 17, 2019, 07:12:14 AM
James has done a very brave and useful thing. Men have very poor health-seeking behavior and it is good to see a young man come out and speak about his struggles with mental health. Hopefully it will encourage other men to get support. I also think that he is a public figure as a brother-in-law to a future king. That is precisely why people are bothering to report and even comment on his article.
Title: Re: James and Alizee Middleton and Family Chat
Post by: TLLK on January 17, 2019, 02:26:36 PM
^^^Also I hope that it dispels the "idea" that those who are considered to be privileged can also struggle even though they have all of their physical needs met.

However as @Curryong has pointed out before, the access to help is not always easy for everyone. Especially considering that James has the resources to go to a private practice therapist, doctor etc...gives him quicker access to assistance unlike someone who is dependent upon the state funded care.
Title: Re: James and Alizee Middleton and Family Chat
Post by: wannable on January 17, 2019, 03:16:35 PM
James doesn't mention by name his GP, but the GP referred him to a renowned psychiatrist in the UK, James mentions him, Dr. Stephen Pereira , who works for the NSA and also has his private practice. In his website, for those that are not privileged, he does accept appointments at the NSA.


James Instagram has increased from 5K to 130+K since he made it public, firstly due to Spencer Mathews sharing with @JMidy a TBT of his wedding to Vogue, next day James article. Since his articles was conditioned to James the writer, no comments were allowed.  People have left him really nice and inspiring comments in his Instagram account.


The comments are here

^ Read his own article, the answer to your questions are there, hence the majority of the comments in his Instagram relate to him, saying he described it to a T, perfection.  The article is linked to the opening of this thread. 

Here's the stats for 2018

QuoteDepression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Almost 75% of people with mental disorders remain untreated in developing countries with almost 1 million people taking their lives each year. In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 13 globally suffers from anxiety. The WHO reports that anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders worldwide with specific phobia, major depressive disorder and social phobia being the most common anxiety disorders

I read the article that he wrote. I thought it was well written. It's important to talk about that sometimes there are things affecting you which you have no control over. It's important to remember that- Although he himself is not a celebrity and basically unknown, the Daily mail is very well known. I hope it got some clicks and that someone found it useful.

James Middleton and his girlfriend took advantage of the rare sunny weather today as they enjoyed a strolled around London with his three dogs.
James, 31, and girlfriend Alizee Thevenet, 29, were spotted making their way along the Thames as they enjoyed the unseasonable sunshine that hit the capital.
Both dressed down casually in gym gear, the couple were seen crossing the road with their canine companions, while James waved to say thank you to a driver who stopped to let them go past.

James Middleton interview ? on his depression, anxiety and what really happened at Glen Affric | Tatler (https://www.tatler.com/article/james-middleton-interview)

QuoteIn January this year, James wrote with candour in The Daily Mail about his experiences with mental health. His parents questioned his decision to make his illness so public. ?They were very nervous. They worried I would be exposing myself over what was a very private thing.? But, in the end, they was a heartening outpouring of public support. ?I did it for ownership,? James insists.

Now, a year on, he says he is back to his old self again and ready to launch a new business, centred around the great loves of his life: his dogs. His happiness is palpable, and perhaps that is down to his other love, too: his girlfriend Alizee Thevenet. ?I am happy ? I feel like James Middleton again. I feel like I was when I was 13, excited about life. I feel like myself again and I couldn?t ask for more.?

I read the @copyrights article via the DM, I am glad that James feels much better and is continuing to work with his ADD which caused the Depression.

He is so lucky to be able to go the 'odd' weekend as a host at The Glen Affric Estate, the place is so huge, 10,000 acres of freedom.

From what I understand it's very important not to hide depression or other mental health issues, because it makes it worse. I wonder, too, how many suffering in silence were encouraged to seek help after readying about James Middleton's depression.

Yes, it's more likely to be next year, late Spring, early summer I should think. If it's true. That Eden columnist often gets things wrong. Congrats to them both if he turns out to be correct. However, if I were Alizee I would be just a teensy bit concerned about the financial future in my marriage. James M might well be a very nice bloke and all the rest of it but his past business dealings and acumen have been less than stellar, to say the least.

Congratulation, they make a cute couple. 

James said in his article that he gave the reins of his company, not only as part of dealing with his depression-he had difficulties waking up in the morning and much less reading/replying emails but results finally profited. He also said that he is privileged economically (he did not want to sound like a moaner focusing on the depression article).  We do not know the exact financial situation of the family, BUT in the 15 years plus in the public eye, the entire family live like upper middleclass.   

James congratulated and said thank you 4 days ago (Instagram) to his company management team and workers...

Also, Gary is the godparent of James, with a known GBP 250 Million, there has been news of G gifts to J.  So who knows.

Bride is French, perhaps a France wedding?

Gary is sort of a shady character IMO, hitting his wife, I don't think it great that James is not associated with Gary in the news. James is a grown man and should earn his own money or so I hope.  I think it will be a UK wedding with his royal in laws in attendance and his niece and nephews.

I agree about her Wimbledon outfit, but I've seen other pictures of her that she was appropriately dressed. She is very small and dresses very avant-guarde, like the Duke of Kent's granddaughter (can't remember her name at the moment).

avant garde can include not having the braless look.
The Wimbledon outfit was more than just braless - it was so revealing as to be indecent. But as I said, I've seen other outfits that were perfectly suitable, and her small figure allows her to wear clothes well.

One thing for sure is James and Alizee will be guests to 2 weddings; Cressida/Harry W., Cress publicly congratulated the couple via Instagram and Bea and Edo, he also publicly congratulated the couple.  And vice versa the other 2 couples will be guests at each others weddings.

What difference does it make if Cressida attends or not? How is it "for sure" if she and her fiance (or husband depending on the timing) attends.  I think he may want as many royals there as possible. The attendee lists for Bea and Edo is not known yet either.

We all know why he is known. Hopefully people who are in need will be influenced by his example of getting help. Depression and other mental health issues need to be front and forefront, IMO. Many have been ashamed to admit they have issues, and it has been a stigma for far too long. 
Title: Re: James and Alizee Middleton and Family Chat
Post by: Curryong on October 13, 2019, 01:24:56 AM
While of course James Middleton has every right to speak up about his battle with depression, I don't think it should be forgotten that it was Harry, in his podcast years ago for the Heads Together endeavour, that first brought this to public notice. His speaking openly about it brought a large measure of discussion in the media, and reportedly a huge jump in the number of people seeking help for their own issues, in consequence. So James is hardly a pioneer in speaking out about this.

Plus, as was noted at the time by several of us on this forum, it's all very well for people with loaded pockets (or from wealthy families) to seek advice and treatment from psychiatrists and therapists. The problem is that with the National Health Scheme in Britain and other forms of universal health care elsewhere, this sector is badly underfunded.

There are few psychiatrists and other mental health professionals working in public rather than private practice and there are long waiting lists at clinics for help there. I know through my work, here in Australia, that under the Mental Health Act people deemed by their GP to need psychiatric counselling are allowed four free visits. After that they are on their own. If they feel they need a psychiatrist then they pay, and consulting fees are not cheap, though refundable in part through Medicare.

Cost to see a psychiatrist (Australia) | Your Health in Mind (https://www.yourhealthinmind.org/psychiatry-explained/cost-to-see-a-psychiatrist)

While James and Harry presumably got the help they needed for as long as they wanted, it's the other millions of people who are stuck with nowhere to go but perhaps ongoing pharmaceuticals from their local chemists, and visits to their GPs. That's the reality of it, for all the praise!
Title: Re: James and Alizee Middleton and Family Chat
Post by: Princess Cassandra on October 14, 2019, 05:51:15 AM
Thank you for that information, Curryong. So there are really two very large issues; one is that it is still a stigma, and the other is that people without means cannot always get the help they need.  Four visits! Rome wasn't built in a day and many people have therapy for several months or even years. But if the Prince Harrys and James Middletons of the world keep talking, at least the stigma of mental health issues may begin to reverse.

Harry is light years more known than James Middleton. Some may not know who James is. I think his influence is overstated by the media. I think if he wants to be happy he should discourage all this PR and lead a blessed private life out of the media. Other royal consort siblings have managed to do this.

Post by: Princess Cassandra on October 17, 2019, 03:54:11 PM
I think Curryong's informative comments should convince us all that the battle is not yet won, and as many that speak out about their own experience the more aware the rest of us will be about the prevalence and seriousness of depression. Unfortunately, suicide of a famous and well known person is also making us aware of it. Hopefully this will all lead to a better trend in the number of suicides.

After sharing his joy with the world on Sunday, Princess Beatrice's new fianc? Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi was one of the first of many to congratulate the happy couple.

"Adorable - congrats guys," the Italian property developer wrote on Instagram, while Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas said: "Congratulations!!! [Alongside a series of heart-shaped emojis]."

Holly Branson remarked: "Love love this pic. Many many congratulations you two."

QuoteJames Middleton?s spaniel, Ella, helped him find love when she bounded over to Alizee Thevenet, who went on to be his fiancee.

Now, Ella?s helping the Duchess of Cambridge?s brother spread a little festive cheer.

Dressed as an elf, James took his dog to visit the Royal Manchester Children?s Hospital this week for charity Pets As Therapy.

?It was moving to see how much it meant to the amazing nurses and doctors at the RMCH,? James says.

?They were so delighted to be able to take a moment out of the intensity of the hospital environment to give Ella a tummy tickle.?

Here's a December 2019 report from Sebastian, from the DM: since then he is celebrating 2 years of profit, moved from his mother's Party Pieces barn to a bigger warehouse closer to the train station for his employees and will open during 2020 another new business, I bet Alizee will be involved in this one.

Well, Alizee has conceivably more relatives and friends living on the Continent than even Edo has, and no way of transporting British guests there. Not much good having a wedding with all these travel restrictions for your guests in place now and possibly still there in a few months. They might try for an Autumn wedding in France but it's all still up in the air.

@Nightowl - I am the same way. All of our cats have been "gifted" to us in one way or another. Our ginger tabby went missing just before July 4 and we've have had no sightings of her. She came to us 13 years ago one months after another cat passed away. On July 17 our neighbor appeared on our doorstep with a tiny kitten in his hands. He'd found her under his dog house and no sign of a mother cat. Within the hour we had her at the vet and rearranged our house to raise a kitten. She's now 8 weeks old and scampering everywhere. Somehow I'm meant to receive another cat every time one of them passes on. The new kitten's name is Cleo.

Best wishes to all of James' puppies as they go on to their forever home. He credits his dogs with helping him throughout his depression and with his recovery.

Oh Thank you TLLK, I am so sorry to hear your furbaby disappeared and has yet to be seen, that makes me sad as I so love our 4 legged creatures. What people do not get is that all 4 legged creatures are humans just like us 2 legged creatures, we all look different and talk different is all.  We all have just about the same insides, hearts, lungs, stomachs etc and we get a lot of the same diseases so why think they are less then us is what I would love to know.   My Payton is now 14 and came to me at almost 6 from a bad place and believe me he is cherished in my home.  He currently has heart issues with water in the lungs and takes 4 meds twice a day...we both bond over taking meds twice a day....and he is fierce, very protective of me and he *bites* as I tell people to not pet him as he is quite handsome.   

I applaud anyone who adopts a furbaby for that takes lots of love, patience and time to adjust your life and home to them and to learn that the furbaby also has to learn to adjust to new beginnings. My sister on another site adopted a dog recently and she and her husband are thrilled, in fact Benny has taken over the home and now rules the roost and they couldn't be happier.    Wishing you well with your new kitten and hope the other one is found soon.

My cats and my doggo are all rescues.  Mys sister and brother both have bought purebreds.  I completely disagree with that.  Rescue animals NEED us( and us them). 

I have lost two of my kitties over the years. Just disappeared.  Heartbreaking and I still miss them.  But each time I lose one I get/find/given another one or two.  Not replacements but another soul to love and care for just when they need it the most.

My doggy Walter went over to the perfect bushlot last year in his 16 th year.  He was the best pup ever.

My fianc?e, Aliz?e Thevenet, and I have decided to escape city life for good. We are counting down the days until we get the keys to our new home and can be reunited with our belongings, which have been in storage for almost a year now. We are country people and love going out for long walks, but one of the key reasons we wanted to live in the countryside was our six dogs. We have five spaniels - Ella, 13, Zulu, eight, Inka and Luna, six, and Nala, one - as well as Mabel, a four-year-old working golden retriever.

Rumours are the first big crowd weddings in June will be of James and Alizze (and the Prime Minster and his girlfriend).

James and Alizee have purchased a home in the countryside.

27 MARCH 2021 ? 6:00 AM
My fianc?e, Aliz?e Thevenet, and I have decided to escape city life for good. We are counting down the days until we get the keys to our new home and can be reunited with our belongings, which have been in storage for almost a year now. We are country people and love going out for long walks, but one of the key reasons we wanted to live in the countryside was our six dogs. We have five spaniels - Ella, 13, Zulu, eight, Inka and Luna, six, and Nala, one - as well as Mabel, a four-year-old working golden retriever.

Keeps getting delayed.

My niece has decided pandemic be darned.  They are having their wedding this fall, out in the cow field ( I?m definitely wearing boots  :cry:) and inviting just close family.  The next day is another outdoor event - a BBQ for friends.  And when COVID is all over they plan to hold a huge party - 1st anniversary.

Thankfully they are happy with an outdoor wedding.   I feel for Cof E parishioners in UK that have to follow the rules there ie backyard weddings are a no-no. 

I love outdoor weddings.   My cousin was married at their cottage.  There was a huge audience of uninvited guests - people going by on their boats stopped and pulled in close to shore.  And when they were declared married all the boaters cheered and hit their horns and such.  Amy and her husband walked out on the dock and waved to them all

My brother and SIL married on the shore of their lake on the rock.  It was SO pretty.

But unless James and Alizee want to married without church vows, they are going to have to wait.   Is Gretna Green still a thing in Scotland??  But you can?t travel to Scotland right now - right?

I think that they'll wait until they can have the bigger wedding and party. The Middletons do love a good party. William can Dad dance and Mike can wear his sumo costume. :dance: :sumo:
Going to Scotland would be lovely IMO, but honestly I've not looked at the restrictions lately.

Your family outdoor weddings sound so lovely. I've only been to a few of those, most have been indoors. Loved how the other boaters were cheering for them at the lake cottage.

Outdoor weddings are great when weather is taken into consideration. My best friend got married outdoors at the historic site she worked at (the only church in town with enough seating was an Orthadox church). The wedding party (I was maid of honor) arrived via canoe to the site (we spent close to hour on water 20 minute paddle after having to wait a half hour as guests were running late). The guests had shade under tents but the wedding party was out in the open for the entire ceremony, receiving line and photos. I got sun stroke before making it to the air conditioned hall for the reception. It was +39c.

Scotland would be beautiful for James and Alize to marry but the restrictions aren't much better. By June they hope 6 people from different households can gather outdoors.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-53166816#:~:text=Outside%20up%20to%20eight%20people,non%2Dcontact%20sport%20will%20resume.

There is also the consideration of Alize's family who will have to come from other countries for the wedding.

Even if they are happy with a smaller wedding, I don't see them settling for a wedding without at least their immediate family there. At this point they could only have both sets of parents.

Post by: Macrobug67 on April 12, 2021, 02:04:22 AM
Where was the wedding? 39c - wow.

My SIL and brother arrived to the reception by canoe. (We went to a restaurant for the dinner then returned to the lake for the reception).  My brother smashed his head on the canoe rack just before getting in the canoe.  For most of the paddle he was semi unconscious.  Nothing unusual for my brother.    He and the best man set off fireworks over the lake.  However, some were set up backwards and fired up at the wedding party and exploded over the house.   It?s not every day you get to see an entire wedding, including the bride and semi concussed groom, dive for cover among the bushes and rocks while fireworks sparkle 10 feet above their covered heads. :fireworks:

Canadian prairies of all places. We do get some intense heat waves some summers. That week is usually about 30c (early July) but yeah it was just below 40 (was like hottest it had been in the area in like 30 years).

No concussion but my sun stroke. And the groom got out of his canoe too early and stepped up to his knee in mud. We had to hide his leg in photos. Either angling that leg away, or was hidden behind the bride's gown or my skirt got discreetly positioned in a few. One of the bridesmaids (his sister) refused to get in a canoe. I only agreed to do it (hadnt since elementary school) if I was in a canoe with her older brother who was the most experienced. Groom and his brother in first, me and bride's elder brother in second, bride with her younger brother and other bridesmaid in third. Luckilly we learned quickly how far up the shore to land before I got out, so I didnt look like the groom when helped out.

Sounds like you had a fun wedding, too!  Those are the weddings that you laugh over for years.

I remember last time I was driving across the prairies - brutal hot weather.  And I could see a cloud bank forming.   And it was getting darker.  And darker.  And then I realized I was the ONLY person on the road.  And I drove into it.  It was like being in a swirling Calderon of grey green cloud just meters above my car.  I finally got off the road and ran through the hail and rain and dived into the building - a garage waiting room.   Full of truckers.   And there I was in soaking wet blouse and miniskirt.   Total silence.   Finally one of these big gruff guys said ? come on in, sweetie, we are scared , too.?   :lol:

There were multiple tornados that roared through the praires that day.  But I was nice and safe in Indian Head, Sask with all my trucker buddies.

KATE'S BROTHER MOVES INTO HIS OWN PLACE!

The Duchess of Cambridge's brother, James Middleton, now has his own palace.

The 34-year-old entrepreneur has moved into a ?1.45million home with his French fiancee, Alizee Thevenet, 30, and their cocker spaniel, Ella.
The four-bedroom, Grade II listed farmhouse is in a neighbouring village to the home of his parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

I have such respect for James.It takes a lot to speak of mental health. And when your sister is married to royalty and not just royalty but a royal who has her and her family in news all over the world, its even harder. The scrutiny they face, its even braver he made it public.

Sadly there are still families it's just not spoken of. My cousin took his own life ten years ago and its never spoken of. My Aunt and Uncle hid it at the time of his death, but eventually the truth came out. But its just not something anyone discusses. It irritates me.

James seems so happy with his beautiful fiancee and their pack of dogs. And getting the help needed, he really is coming into his own.

I had almost forgotten about Boomf.  To be quite honest after the big losses a few years ago, I kind of thought it had gone the way of his cake kt company as I hadnt heard it mentioned in some time. I Know James Mathews sunk some money in to help it out but then James Middleton was woring for his brother in law up in Scotland. Happy to hear he kept it going and now it has become quite succsful.

He also has his pet food business Ella & company named for the first of his pack. Maybe why I forgot about boomf, his recent posts I have seen have been about Alizee,the dogs,mental health or his new business.

In his article about depression, he learned quite a lot about himself; he doesn't know how to manage a Co. so he left that to managers, he is great with ideas, he sticks to that, he likes fixing and tinkering, also sticks to that.

GBP 1 Million is a tidy sum for a fiscal year, small company with 12 employees.

Note: I don't know how each community/social strata did with food, beverage, essentials. Where I live Uber Eats, Domicile food galore, for 1 year, including cakes, cookies, and possibly marshmellow  :laugh:

PELLEGRIN BEACH
ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF THE VAR
The Pellegrin beach car park is open :
? Every day from 8am to 8pm until the end of August
? Wednesday to Sunday from 8am to 8pm (closed on Monday and Tuesday)
? Exceptional closures on 4, 10 and 11 September

At the edge of the L?oube Estate, Plage du Pellegrin is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Mediterranean Sea. Part of the protected area of the Cap Ben?t, the beach is a place of precious natural beauty that we cherish and nurture.

With nearly a kilometre of pristine golden sand and warm tranquil waters, Plage du Pellegrin is a peaceful haven reminiscent of the Caribbean.  Centuries old pine trees reach down to the shore, providing natural shade and coolness in the heat of summer.

Caf? L?oube sits just behind the beach offering seasonal, organic food and wine from our estate and market garden. Join us throughout the summer for seasonal events including evening film screenings, yoga classes, live music and horse riding.

The beach is carefully looked after all year round to help preserve its natural beauty ? we organise regular beach cleans which you can find out more about on our events page.

For me personally, wearing your mother-in-laws wedding dress is outstanding, just fabulous!  What a way to bond with your mother-in-law.  The only other thing to do would be make her favorite recipe and have it for dinner some night.  I love the dress, soft and pretty it seems like. Beautiful bride and Handsome groom.......and fabulous furbabies in the mix.......can't ask for anything more then that.

No, getting married can be anywhere........in a corn field if that is the choice.  It is a pretty dress and has family meaning behind it, so it will be cherished till the next bride wants to wear it I bet.   :wink:

Yes they certainly did and with Catherine their daughter who will a future queen consort is raising the future of the monarchy those lessons in life will be taught to George and his siblings to carry them through their lives in the monarchy .   William was darn lucky in finding his bride Catherine who has had the family life she had .......that right there says a lot about the future.  No wonder Catherine is so highly respected in the family and the Firm....she does the work and has a role model in HM.

Once I read that they were getting married in France, no I was not expecting a church wedding as like in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg,  they're not considered legal marriages. If they'd wanted one, then they would  have held it after their civil ceremony or just married in the UK.

She is also genuine and sensible, which may also be attributed to her upbringing. Being genuine is a very important piece of the puzzle. Much of the public subconsciously knows whether or not a person in the limelight is genuine. It seems that all the Middletons are the real thing.

Now this is a man I could come to admire greatly, taking care of our furbabies is very important to me.  Nice to see he puts his time and money in doing that while some just talk and do nothing.   

People just do not understand that dogs are just as human as we so called humans, the only difference is they look different and talk different......no big deal if a person takes the time to try to understand them.

For James its far more then the simple 'dogs are not objects they are family'. They literally were his life line.

James has been vocal about his battle with mental health. Ella is more then his first dog of his clan, but his personal emotional support dog.

Quote?I got this diagnosis and Ella came to all of my therapy sessions, which I was reluctant to go to at the start,? Middleton said of Ella, now a registered therapy dog.But with Ella by my side, I really became confident in understanding that I had a mental illness,? he continued, adding, ?I would go as far as saying I think I owe Ella my life, and she doesn't know that.?

He is vocal in supporting animal therapy programs and making them available to all as he knows how much it saved him.

TudorQueen:

Thank you for that info as I did not know that.  I do understand just where he is coming from in that regards, I went through hell one time and my furbaby saved my life by just being there for me, I get his devotion and love for Ella.  Even to this day since decades have passed and Boots is now gone, I still love and remember him with tears at times.  I now only adopt senior dogs as they are in dire need of a good home and most people only want puppies, seniors really do appreciate and love when they are taken in to a good home...we all grow old in time, yet most never think of that.

Though he has a pack of dogs, Ella was his companion dog. She helped him through his battles with mental health. Company is named for her.

Ella was also the mother of the Wales' late dog Lupo. Their current dog Orla is Ella's granddaughter (daughter of Lupo's sister Luna). Not sure but Rafa, Pippa's dog I believe was also a puppy of Ella.

Gender,weight birth announcement,birth date wont share details kept under wraps like Pippa but under wraps I don?t think will release pictures without permission from James and his wife like Pippa out of respect for that

That makes perfect sense to not release any pictures of their children, privacy is so important in this day and age......wishing them tons of joy in their child and the future.  :clap:

It's a boy!

Instagram@JMidy


He has been in our lives for just a few weeks but they have been the most special of my life getting to know our beautiful baby boy 💙
No matter how prepared I thought I was?I was not prepared for the overwhelming emotion of meeting Inigo for the first time and the love for my darling Aliz?e as we became three.

We have settled into our new life as parents and I?ve told him all about Ella and that if it wasn?t for her he wouldn?t be here today and that we miss her greatly. The dogs have been fantastic at welcoming their little brother into the pack (although Inka needs to know the teddybears are not all for her?) 🐾

We would like to thank the wonderful team at Basingstoke hospital, from the very first scan to walking out the front door for the first time as three, we couldn?t have felt more supported and looked after throughout so thank you NHS 🙏

Inigo, a shortening for Ignatius, is quite popular in Hispanic countries I believe. It?s very unusual for England but it?s normally associated with Inigo Jones the 17th century designer and architect. Several of his buildings and artifacts are still with us. One of the present Earl Snowdon?s names in Inigo.

Viscount Linley has Inigo as a middle name. Beyond Inigo Jones, only thing that comes to mind.

Context of the front page/cover  (James has done to date several volunteering for the Dogs Trust)

The Hello! Mag special is Christmas Carol Concert, DT has been doing it yearly for the past 40 years.


James Middleton and his wife Aliz?e Thevenet made a rare public appearance as they stepped out with their newborn baby boy, Inigo.

The new parents enjoyed a festive night at the Dogs Trust Carol Concert at Chelsea Old Church on Thursday, where James gave a reading of a poem, What I Learned about Love, I Learned from my Dog.

The family affair was made complete with two of their "well-behaved" pet dogs, golden retrievers Mabel and Isla.

"It's been more than 40 years since Dogs Trust, or The National Canine Defence League as known then, coined the phrase 'A Dog is for Life, Not Just for Christmas', and that's just as important now as it was back then. The demand on our services is higher than it's ever been, and we are very grateful to everyone who has supported our work over the last 12 months, enabling us to continue caring for the nation's dogs."

That was so beautiful, Yes, A Dog is for life as they are members of a family to be treated with love and respect. I am a huge dog lover, I adopt only old abused abandoned dumped senior dogs ever....they need me or someone like me to cherish them and give them a great home.  I have made lots of mistakes in my life all because of family yet the one thing I am very proud of is that fact that all the dogs that I have adopted in life just Love their homes, Cinco like my other dogs before him, he runs to the door of our home as soon as we get off the elevator barking to get in, he loves his home runs around to check it out to make sure everything is the same as we left it for our walk.   It is so nice to see someone doing the same, I have absolutely no respect for those that abuse and hurt children and or our 4 legged furbabies, that includes horses and cows and chickens for we are all human beings made from our higher power, it is just that we all look different and talk differnt yet we feel the same love and pain in life.
