Kate Middleton's younger brother has announced he and his wife are expecting a baby.

James Middleton, 36, has shared poignant photographs on Instagram of his pregnant partner Alizée Thevenet and dog Mable.

"We couldn't be more excited... Well, Mable might be," James has written on the social media page.

"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."

Ella was a therapy dog, whom James credits saving his life after his journey with depression. Ella died in January this year.

Speaking in April, the businessman said "all the family" came together to grieve as he buried his pooch.

He said he was "just about holding it together" as the Cocker Spaniel was the first dog James ever owned.

Writing in the Sunday Times, he told: "Burying her; that was the worst.

"It took me four hours because I knew once I had finished digging, that would be the final farewell."

James continued: "All the family came to say their goodbyes. I can’t speak for them but I believe she influenced their lives too. Lupo, Catherine and William’s dog, was one of Ella’s puppies. My sister Pippa and her husband have a pup from Ella, as do other family members.

"My sisters came to some of my therapy sessions. They’ve always been there during difficult times and they were at my side during the hardest of times as well. For that, I am forever grateful."

James and Alizée married in September 2021 after Covid forced them to cancel twice.

The couple had a "beautiful" ceremony on Saturday surrounded by friends and relatives in Bormes-les-Mimosas, a village in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, southeast France.

It is believed that Kate, Prince William and their children Prince George, then eight, Princess Charlotte, then six and the then three-year-old Prince Louis were at the wedding.

But it was a rather small affair, with largely only family present.

In another post on Instagram after the ceremony, James said "no words can describe how happy I am".
