James Middleton has revealed how his sisters Kate and Pippa Middleton’s children adore his son.
The 37-year-old, who lives in Berkshire with his wife Alizée, their one-year-old son Inigo and their six dogs, wrote about his typical weekend in the My Saturday column in The Telegraph.
James, who lives near his older brothers, said he usually stops by his parents’ house for tea around 4pm.
The Princess of Wales’s brother gushed about how Iñigo’s six cousins take care of their little one when they are together at family events.
Kate and William share Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, while Pippa has Arthur, five, Grace, three, and Rose, one, with her husband James Matthews.

“My sisters and I are a 30-minute drive away, so an aunt or cousin often stops by,” she told the outlet.
‘All the cousins play their part in caring for Íñigo; At this moment there are seven of us in total.
‘I think everyone is shocked by the mess Inigo can cause. But there is a lot of laughter and laughter.’
James said that during his battle with depression, which he has spoken openly about in recent years, he “recognized the importance of family.”
“I think any challenge a family faces is something that brings them together,” he added.
The Middletons have had a difficult nine months, after Kate was taken to hospital for an operation in January and revealed she had cancer in March.
But the future Queen revealed last month that she had “completed her chemotherapy treatment” and is doing everything she can to “stay cancer-free.”
Elsewhere in his column, James said he starts the morning eating eggs for breakfast with the radio on, while Inigo likes to listen to Bob Marley.

James and Alizee married in the Côte d’Azur village of Bormes-les-Mimosas in September 2021 and welcomed Iñigo last year.
He said Alizée is currently teaching her son to speak French and predominantly speaks to her son in the language so he can learn it.
James admitted he has to learn “a lot of words quite quickly” to catch up.
Alizée’s French culture also means that they have an entire shelf dedicated just to cheeses in their house and they always eat a cheese board before eating dessert.

Speaking about having another child, she said: “We would love to expand the family, but it’s never easy.”
James also recently revealed that Inigo has been wearing hand-me-downs that Kate gave to her and her children.
The brands Kate loves for her children include Boden, Ralph Lauren and British brand Amaia, meaning Iñigo will be dressing fashionably from a very young age.
In an interview with HELLO! MagazineJames said his sister Pippa also lent him some used things.
“They are milestones, because (my sisters) remember when their son was wearing something and how old he was; it takes them back,” she said. ‘It has been a wonderful thing for them.
“He’s lucky he has older cousins who can pick him up now and show him things and as he gets older they’ll be able to look after him.” “There’s definitely an element of curiosity (about) the baby they have.”
And speaking of her two sisters, she added: ‘It’s been wonderful to see them become mothers and be so dedicated and strong. I’m amazed by that.’
