James Middleton, brother of Kate Middleton, shared the story of how his wife, Alizee Thevenet, met Kate, Prince William, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, in an unexpected way. This encounter, which was far from a typical introduction, happened when James and Alizee decided to stay at his parents’ home in Berkshire after attending a wedding. According to James’ book “Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life,” the couple quietly entered the house late at night to avoid waking anyone. The next morning, James was awakened by the sound of his nephew and niece giggling at the bedroom door, not realizing that his sister’s family was also there for the weekend.
As he headed to bring Alizee a cup of tea upstairs, she casually came down in his T-shirt and warmly greeted everyone. Despite the unexpected and informal setting, she handled the situation gracefully, chatting with Kate, William, and the children as if it was the most natural thing in the world. The kids, George and Charlotte, were curious and asked many questions, prompting James to introduce Alizee as his girlfriend. The scene turned lively as they all talked and laughed together.
Later that day, James’ parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, returned home. Before parting ways, Kate gave James a reassuring whisper, expressing her approval of Alizee, which was echoed by their mother. James felt everything had fallen perfectly into place, as Alizee was a great match for him and well-received by his family.
James and Alizee married in 2021 and welcomed their first child last October. This excerpt coincided with the celebration of their wedding anniversary, as James shared a loving message to Alizee on Instagram, commemorating their journey together.
