Baby joy for Kate Middleton as she welcomes new addition and becomes an auntie again

Publish date: 2024-06-21

Kate Middleton’s brother and his wife have welcomed their new baby - making the Princess of Wales an auntie again.

James Middleton and Alizee Thevenet were spotted walking with their newborn through London, reports the Mirror. The pair announced they were expecting on social media earlier this year, but no details about the baby’s gender or name have been confirmed yet.

James married the French financier in 2021 and it’s been reported she gave birth in the past few weeks. Last month, James, 36, shared a sweet snap of Alizee showing off her baby bump on Instagram as he paid tribute to her on their anniversary.

He announced to Instagram followers in July his happy news by referencing one of their pet dogs, saying: "We couldn't be more excited... Well, Mable might be.” He also revealed they’d had a tough start to 2023 after his dog Ella died, who he said helped save his life after a battle with depression.

The businessman said in April that "all the family" had come together when he buried his beloved pooch as he revealed he was "just about holding it together" as the Cocker Spaniel was the first dog he ever owned.

Writing in the Sunday Times, he said: "Burying her; that was the worst. It took me four hours because I knew once I had finished digging, that would be the final farewell."

James continued: "All the family came to say their goodbyes. I can’t speak for them but I believe she influenced their lives too. Lupo, Catherine and William’s dog, was one of Ella’s puppies. My sister Pippa and her husband have a pup from Ella, as do other family members.

"My sisters came to some of my therapy sessions. They’ve always been there during difficult times and they were at my side during the hardest of times as well. For that, I am forever grateful."
