Kate Middleton's brother James talks about 'sibling love'

Kate Middleton’s brother James has shared some insights about their relationship.

Speaking with Mirror, James Middleton talked about the unique bond he and the Princess of Wales share.

He said, "I'm incredibly fortunate to have my two sisters, not just as siblings, but as friends.”

Kate, wife of Prince William, has two siblings, sister Pippa Middleton and brother James Middleton.

The brother of Catherine went on to add, “They've seen me at my best and at my lowest, and they've always been there when I've needed them.”

“Sibling love is something unique, you can't choose your siblings, it can be complicated, it takes work, but when it's strong, I believe it's one of the most powerful bonds there is,” James added.

He also revealed that his family has “always been emotionally open, expressive and in tune with the people around them.”

“I think being surrounded by that kind of emotional intelligence rubbed off on me, even if I didn’t fully know it at the time,” James noted. “Looking back, I think it gave me permission, in a way, to feel things more deeply and to name those feelings when they came up.”

“That doesn’t mean I always found it easy. In fact, like a lot of men, I struggled with expressing how I was doing when I was at my lowest,” who has been open about his mental health issues added further.

“But having strong women around me who led with compassion and honesty definitely helped me learn that vulnerability wasn’t weakness, it was strength,” James added of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
