James Middleton shares a touching story of his wife Alizee's first meeting with royal children, showcasing family warmth and unexpected connections.
In a delightful revelation, James Middleton, the brother of Kate Middleton, has shared a heartwarming story about his wife, Alizee Thevenet, meeting the royal children for the first time. This charming encounter is detailed in his upcoming memoir titled "Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life." The story unfolds during a family gathering that took place at James's childhood home, following a wedding celebration.
James recounted that the meeting was quite unexpected. He and Alizee had decided to stay overnight, unaware that Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—were also guests at the same location. In a humorous twist, James described how they quietly entered the house, trying not to disturb anyone in the dark. The next morning, he was greeted by the sounds of George and Charlotte playing just outside his bedroom door.
Choosing to let Alizee enjoy her sleep, James took the royal children downstairs to the kitchen. To his surprise, he found Kate and William enjoying their morning tea. As he was about to bring a cup of tea to Alizee, she appeared at the kitchen door, looking relaxed and casual in one of James's oversized shirts. James noted, "In situations like this, Alizee is wonderfully French. She does not panic or rush upstairs to get dressed." Instead, she greeted everyone warmly, making the moment feel completely natural.
The royal children, curious and full of questions, began to inquire about Alizee. They asked, "How come we weren't there when they went to bed? And who is this lady? Is she your girlfriend?" James happily confirmed, "Yes, she is my girlfriend," and introduced her to the children. The atmosphere quickly turned joyful, with laughter and conversation flowing as if Alizee had been part of the family for years.
This charming anecdote not only highlights the warmth and openness of the royal family but also showcases the delightful dynamics of family gatherings, regardless of status. It serves as a reminder that, at the end of the day, family moments are what truly matter, and love knows no boundaries. James's story is a beautiful testament to the joy of unexpected connections and the simplicity of human relationships, even in the most extraordinary circumstances.
