James announced Alizee’s pregnancy on Instagram in July, where he shared a snap of his wife in a olive green dress with their dog Mable in a gorgeous countryside setting. 

‘We couldn’t be more excited … well Mable might be,’ James wrote, before referencing his tough year following the death of his dog Ella.

‘It was a very difficult start to the year after losing my beloved Ella however we will end the year with the most precious little addition to our growing family’.

It’s likely that Kate will certainly welcome becoming an aunt again, as she has mentioned she is ‘feeling broody’ on many occasions.

James and Kate’s sister Pippa has also has three children with her husband James Matthews: – Arthur, Grace and Rose – meaning the new addition will be the seventh grandchild of Carole and Michael Middleton.

Writing in The Telegraph in 2021, James explained he met Alizée in 2014 at Chelsea’s the South Kensington Club when Ella ‘made a beeline for Alizée’. 

James, who was ’embarrassed’, went over ‘to apologise and bring Ella back’, recalling how Alizée thought he was a ‘waiter’ and ‘ordered her drink while continuing to stroke Ella, who at this point was on her back lapping up the attention.’  

He has previously credited the black spaniel with helping him overcome his mental health struggles and introducing him to his wife. 

In January 2019, James explained in a personal essay for the Daily Mail how Ella had helped him through his depression battles.

He wrote: ‘During the day I’d drag myself up and go to work, then just stare with glazed eyes at my computer screen, willing the hours to tick by so I could drive home again.
