Princess Kate’s brother reveals moment he knew sister was in love with Prince William

James Middleton, the brother of Princess Kate, shared a revealing moment about when he first recognized his sister’s love for Prince William. In an interview, James, 37, described a widespread excitement in the UK regarding rumors that Kate and William, both 42, were engaged. He recalled how his sister, in November 2010, discreetly told him and their sister Pippa, 41, about the engagement in a quiet corner of a village pub in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

Following the public announcement of the engagement, James had an epiphany while walking through Battersea Park in London. He reflected on how fortunate William was to be marrying his “capable, down-to-earth” sister. James felt reassured about their love and admired how William had helped Kate gain confidence and flourish.

In his memoir, “Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life,” James also opened up about his own struggles with mental health. He disclosed that during his darkest times, he distanced himself from his family, including his sister Kate. He described a period when he was on the brink of suicide and refused to respond to calls and messages from his loved ones. Despite acknowledging his privileged background and supportive family, James admitted to isolating himself and hiding away.

His book paints a picture of his emotional turmoil and the significant role his late dog, Ella, played in his life. James’s revelations offer a glimpse into the personal challenges he faced and how he managed to cope with the support and love from his family, even when he pushed them away.
