Kate Middleton's brother James and David Beckham have both opened up about their new hobby during the coronavirus period.
June 30, 2020 - 11:51 BST Bridie Wilkins Kate Middleton's younger brother James Middleton has opened up about his love of beekeeping just days after David Beckham revealed that he has also been building beehives at his home in the Cotswolds. James shared a video of his hives at the house he and Kate grew up in, Bucklebury Manor in Berkshire, and penned an article for the Daily Mail in which he discusses the positive effect that beekeeping has had on his mental health.Loading the player...
"I've written in this paper about the clinical depression that first hit me in 2016, and one of my strategies for coping with it is beekeeping. I see it as an active form of meditation, a chance to escape from mental tumult. When I'm with my bees it's as if someone's pressed the mute button on everything that's worrying me.
Speaking of Alizee's role in his hobby, he added,"I'm glad too, that my fiancée, Alizee, is a convert. Early in our relationship I bought her a beekeeping suit and when she's helping me with the hives, as she has been during the weeks of lockdown we've spent at Bucklebury, she couldn’t be happier." David, meanwhile, has been building beehives to make honey.
James has been beekeeping since his parents and older sisters, Kate and Pippa, bought him a colony of bees for his 24th birthday in 2011, and though we can't be sure, we love the idea that David took inspiration from the royal.
