Kate Middleton attended her brother James Middleton’s wedding to Alizée Thévenet on September 11, 2021. The Princess of Wales, of course, couldn’t miss such a pivotal moment in her younger brother’s life, especially after he successfully emerged from his dark periods.

James Middleton, the brother of Pippa and Kate Middleton, went through severe depression and even contemplated suicide at one point. While his loved ones were by his side, he is particularly grateful to his beloved dog, Ella, who has since passed away. Ella was so important to the Princess of Wales’ brother that she became the central focus of his first book.

Ella Played a Key Role in James Middleton’s Wedding

James Middleton’s cocker spaniel, Ella, held a special place in his life, as reflected in the title of his book, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life. The memoirs of Kate Middleton’s brother were published on September 26. In the book, the 37-year-old businessman shares how his dog played a crucial role in his meeting with Alizée Thévenet, his future wife.

At the couple’s 2021 wedding, as reported by HELLO! on October 1, 2024, Ella joined James Middleton’s other dog, Mabel, to serve as flower girls. On the night before the unforgettable ceremony in Bormes-les-Mimosas, Kate Middleton gave her younger brother a major surprise.

Kate Middleton and Prince William, along with their three children—George, Charlotte, and Louis—were initially scheduled to arrive on the day of the wedding. However, much to James Middleton and Alizée Thévenet’s delight, the Cambridges arrived Friday night, a day earlier than expected.

“To our great surprise and pleasure, they [the Prince and Princess of Wales] arrived Friday night, earlier than planned, to join us for the pre-wedding dinner,” James Middleton revealed. Kate and William attended the civil ceremony and later celebrated at the stunning seaside reception at Café Léoube. “We couldn’t be happier,” James Middleton shared with HELLO! magazine.
