James Middleton ignoring sister Princess Kate over key issue as he issues 10-word…
Kate Middleton’s brother, James, has admitted that he doesn’t always heed her parenting advice. The 37 year old and his wife Alizee became parents to son Inigo last October. While he finds it “wonderful” to see his elder sister Kate – mum to Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six year old Prince Louis with husband Prince William – and their other sibling, Pippa, raise their families as “dedicated” mothers, he doesn’t always follow their “tips”.
Speaking to HELLO! magazine, he said: “It’s been wonderful, seeing them so dedicated and strong. I’m in awe of that.” He added: “But when it’s your own baby, it’s a different experience.”
James also revealed that he’s been lucky enough to observe how his sisters have parented and pick up tips along the way some he takes on board, while others he’s more sceptical about. However, he’s grateful that Inigo has older cousins, including Pippa’s children Arthur, Grace and Rose, to look out for him. He shared: “He’s fortunate to have older cousins who can now pick him up and show him things and, as he grows up, they’ll be able to look out for him.” He also noted that there’s a certain curiosity about a baby that they possess.
And Inigo is lucky enough to have inherited a whole wardrobe of clothes from his cousins, giving Kate and Pippa a chance to reminisce about their own children’s early years. James explained: “They are milestones because [my sisters] remember when their child was wearing something and how old they were it takes them back.”
James added that he and his wife are eager to expand their family, both with another child and more canine companions, saying: “If we’re fortunate enough to be able to.”
He joked about whether they would welcome a new baby or a new pet first, remarking: “The pitter-patter of two or four feet. But who knows which will come first?”
