Congratulations are in order as Kate Middleton’s brother, James Middleton is expecting his first child with wife, Alizee Thevenet.
The soon-to-be dad took to Instagram to announce the happy news with a photo of Alizee wearing a stunning olive-green dress which showed her baby bump and their dog Mable looking very excited.
“We couldn’t be more excited … well Mable might be ❤️,” he wrote.
“It was a very difficult start to the year after losing my beloved Ella however we will end the year with the most precious little addition to our growing family”.
Ella was James’ adorable black dog who sadly passed away in January 2023 from a “very short illness.”
It was Ella who introduced the now happy couple in 2018! After fate – or a dog – brought them together, the pair have been enjoying life together in the countryside.
In 2019, the couple got engaged and finally said “I do” in September 2021 after COVID-19 pandemic derailed their original plans. However, the stunning ceremony located in the south of France was the perfect intimate celebration.
Lady Tatiana Mountbatten – who is related to the British Royal Family – shared her excitement on James’ Instagram post.
“Wahoooooo💕💕💕💕💕💕 congratulations!!! So excited for you xxx,” she wrote.
Once the baby joy arrives, the bub will be a first cousin to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – and also be a niece or nephew to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
With this new addition, the Middleton line is growing fast! Kate’s sister Pippa has three children Arthur, Grace and Rose with her husband, James Matthews.
