We cried tears of joy when Prince William and Duchess Catherine tied the knot in 2011 and we squealed with joy when Pippa Middleton became Mrs James Matthews in 2017 so when can we expect the youngest Middleton to tie the knot?
James Middleton has been dating Alizee Thevenet for around a year but until recently the two have kept their relationship pretty private. But could these recent snaps mean a final Middleton wedding could be happening soon?
On Tuesday, James shared a gorgeous snap of one of his pet dogs Mabel jumping into a swimming pool as Alizee, dressed in a red bikini, watches on with a big grin.
The younger brother to the Duchess of Cambridge captioned the snap, “caption this 🐾 #goldenretriever #summervibes #dogsofinstagram #happydog,” and it is bringing us some serious summer joy while we freeze over here in the Southern Hemisphere.
Alizee made her Instagram debut on James’ profile back in May with a cute selfie of the couple in matching red jumpers that James sweetly captioned, “Sail away with me ⛵️ ☀️.”
James and Alizee’s poolside date follows their visit to attended Wimbledon together to watch the men’s singles final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
Along with his mum Carole Middleton and sister Pippa Middleton, James was spotted getting cosy with his lady love in the royal box, not far away from his sister the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William.
And it sounds like mum Carole has high hopes that her son will pop the question to Alizee. In an interview with The Telegraph in December the Middleton matriarch said, “I have two lovely sons-in-law and I hope I’ll have a lovely daughter-in-law.”
The couple, who reportedly met at a London bar, were first spotted together when they attended the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund’s Christmas Carol Service at St. Luke’s Church.
Later, they were snapped holidaying in St. Barts along with James’s sister Pippa and her husband James Matthews. But it wasn’t until May at Lady Gabriella Windsor and Thomas Kingston’s royal wedding that the two made their official outing.

Alizee is not only a blonde beauty but she also holds a Master’s degree in Investment and Finance from Queen Mary University of London, and has been working as a financial analyst in London for about six years.
The French native also grew up in six different countries- Germany, Indonesia, Chile, France, Belgium, and England. And according to her LinkedIn, she can speak not only French and English but Spanish too.
It’s no wonder that James, who has spoken about his mental health struggles in the past, keeps things relatively private when it comes to his personal life.
Following his eldest sister’s royal wedding, the London-based businessman was thrown into the spotlight.
“Suddenly, and very publicly, I was being judged about whether I was a success or a failure. That does put pressure on you. Because in my mind I’m doing this irrespective of my family and events that have happened.”
He also added that he leads a “separate life” to his royal sister and brother-in-law.
“If there’s an interest in me, great. If there’s an interest in me because of them, that’s different.”
