Kate Middleton brother lauds her for ‘emotional intelligence'

Kate Middleton’s brother, James Middleton, is lauding the Royal for her emotional availability.

The Princess of Wales, who has now recovered from cancer, is praised for her intelligence and expressiveness.

James tells Daily Mail: "They've always been emotionally open, expressive, and in tune with the people around them, and I think being surrounded by that kind of emotional intelligence rubbed off on me, even if I didn't fully realise it.

"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.

He continues during the interview: "But having strong women around me who led with compassion and honesty definitely helped me learn that vulnerability wasn't weakness, it was strength."
