He shares touching stories about his family, focusing in particular on how Duchess Catherine has grown since marrying Prince William. James has often kept details about his famous sister private, but in his memoir, he shares personal thoughts on how life has changed for Duchess Catherine and their family. He describes the relationship between Duchess Catherine and Prince William as one built on respect, trust, and deep friendship.

Despite the media attention and public expectations, they remain devoted to each other and remain true to their values. He noted that their relationship has faced many challenges, especially due to royal duties and constant public scrutiny. However, from the beginning, William and Catherine shared a unique bond, supporting each other through the tough times, which he believes is key to their strong marriage. Their low-key lifestyle and focus on family has helped them manage the complexities of royal life while maintaining their bond.

James reflected on how much his sister has changed since becoming part of the royal family. Coming from a close-knit and private family, Catherine’s transition to royal life has been significant. He recalled the intense public interest surrounding her engagement and marriage to Prince William in 2011, which marked a pivotal moment in her life. While Catherine has always been kind and compassionate, she has matured a lot since taking on royal duties.

James noted that Catherine has had to adjust to a new lifestyle filled with important duties. He admired how she has remained authentic throughout this journey. Another major change he observed was her growing sense of responsibility to her country and the monarchy. While Catherine was aware of her responsibilities before marrying Prince William, she truly grasped the gravity of her role when she became a full-time working member of the royal family.

Her strong work ethic has been enhanced as she has realised her potential to make a difference. She is actively involved in causes she is passionate about, striving to make a real impact. James expressed great pride in her commitment to her royal duties and how she balances the pressures of public life with her role as mother to George, Charlotte and Louis. Despite the changes in her life, James points out that Catherine remains close to her roots and family.

He highlights the strong bond between himself, Catherine and her sister Pippa, who continue to support each other. Catherine often visits her family’s country house away from the royal spotlight. James reassures Catherine that no matter what happens, she knows she can rely on her family for support and that they will always be there for her. He also credits their parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, for helping to keep the family together as Catherine’s fame grew.
