Heartwarming Gathering as James Middleton Reflects on Journey to Fatherhood
The Princess of Wales and her family recently marked a special milestone with an intimate celebration for James Middleton’s son, Inigo, who just turned one. In his new memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, James shares previously unrevealed details about his son’s birth, reflecting on the emotional journey he and his wife, Alizée Thevenet, experienced as they became parents.
The couple, who married in 2021, welcomed Inigo on September 21 last year at Basingstoke Hospital, following a tense final scan where doctors discovered low levels of amniotic fluid. This prompted a swift decision for delivery, with James preparing a playlist of meaningful songs from their first road trip to the Lake District to help ease the anxiety during the process.
James also reflects on his childhood and how his late dog, Ella, helped him through challenging times, expressing deep gratitude for her role in his journey of self-discovery and healing. The Middleton family kept the news of Inigo’s birth private for over a month before sharing it publicly, making this recent celebration a cherished moment of unity.
The Princess of Wales, along with other family members, kept the gathering low-key, focusing on the joy of the occasion and the close family bonds that have remained a constant source of support through life’s many chapters.
