Princess Kate’s brother, James Middleton, and royal experts weigh in on her life behind-the-scenes in the latest Us Weekly cover story
In November 2010, the day before her engagement to Prince William was announced, Princess Kate Middleton sat in a corner at The Old Boot pub near her childhood home in Bucklebury with her sister, Pippa, and her brother, James. According to James’ new memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, the close-knit siblings were quietly chatting when Kate told them the big news.
In an interview with Us Weekly, James, 37, offers rare insight into who Kate really is and how she’s managed to remain grounded despite her status as the future Queen of England. “Catherine is very much on a public stage and I’m in awe of a lot of the things she does,” James shares in the latest issue of Us. “I think the thing I’m most proud of is that she’s still the same person that I grew up with.
A former boss at one of Kate’s first jobs says the future queen was “down-to-earth and unpretentious,” adding, “She sat in the kitchen at lunchtime and chatted with everyone from the van drivers to the accounts girls. She wasn’t precious.” Royal author Christopher Andersen says Kate also has a lighter side and can be quite cheeky. “William and Kate have always shared a goofy sense of humor,” Andersen tells Us. “It’s very Monty Python — they both crack up at things that are just plain silly.”
