James Middleton makes rare parenting comment about son ‘in fits of giggles’

James said: "He loves tennis balls because there are always some tennis balls around.

"He likes to throw the balls for the dogs now so he sits there and chucks the balls in fits of giggles."

He continued: "It's really wonderful because the dogs have really welcomed him.

"He's been on all fours, and now he's walking.

"He gets stability by holding on to the back of a dog, and basically they start walking and he doesn't really have a choice, so he starts walking."

The brother of Princess Kate married Alizee Thevenet in France in September 2021.

The pair welcomed their first child, Inigo, two years later, in 2023.

The couple have not ruled out expanding their family which currently has their one-year-old boy, six dogs, sheep, ducks and chickens.

James told Hello they would have a second child "if we're fortunate enough to be able to".

He added: "The pitter-patter of two or four feet, but who knows which will come first?"

James spoke about how life-changing it has been for him to become a father.

He said: "No matter how much people say to you about how wonderful it is, or how it will change your life, nothing can ever prepare you for that experience of seeing a little baby that's yours arrive.

"It unlocks something in your heart that you didn't know was there."
