James Middleton couldn’t contain his delight on Wednesday as he shared an utterly endearing family snapshot.
The 37-year-old brother of Princess Kate posted on the official Instagram account of his dog lifestyle brand, Ella & Co, sharing two exquisite springtime photos featuring himself and his beloved family dogs: Zulu, Inka, Luna, Mabel, Nala, and Isla. In the images, James is seen affectionately gazing at his canine companions while standing amidst a stunning, blossoming field.
“A magical moment in the bluebells. I think spring has definitely now sprung….finally,” he penned alongside the post.
James appeared utterly content, clad in a blue and white checkered shirt, navy trousers, and a black gilet embroidered with his company’s name. Meanwhile, his group of dogs seemed equally at ease, basking in the sunshine amidst the breathtaking spring scenery.
One fan commented: “Beautiful [red love heart emoji] look at the way your furry kids look at you with so much [red love heart emoji].”
Ella & Co. is inspired by James’ therapy dog Ella who sadly passed away in January last year.
In addition to being a devoted dog dad to his furry companions, James is also the loving father to his son Inigo, whom he shares with his wife, Alizée Thévenet. In October, the couple welcomed Inigo into their lives, occasionally offering updates for their fans alongside the infant.
When Inigo arrived last year, James delightedly shared a precious series of photographs. One standout image captured the baby holding a tiny photo of Ella, marking an incredibly significant moment for James.
He wrote: “We have settled into our new life as parents and I’ve told him all about Ella and that if it wasn’t for her he wouldn’t be here today and that we miss her greatly. The dogs have been fantastic at welcoming their little brother into the pack (although Inka needs to know the teddybears are not all for her…”
Inigo has undergone significant changes since his arrival. The most recent photograph of the little one was posted on James’ birthday in April. The father-son pair appeared adorable together, donning matching berets for a spontaneous selfie taken inside their Berkshire home.
