Princess Kate’s brother has shared a heartwarming inside look at his life since he became a father in September 2023.
James Middleton, 37, welcomed his first son, Inigo, with wife Alizée in October 2023, two years after he married the financial analyst.
The pair, along with their six dogs, live in Berkshire and often share glimpses of their rural lifestyle.
James opened up on how he has evolved and changed, stating: "You can look back at the past and enjoy the memories, but not chase them today as it's a waste of energy."

He added: "I often look at Alizee and say, 'What did we do before we had Inigo? What did we do with all that time?' But it's like anything in life – you evolve and change.
Speaking to Hello, the father-of-one described his daily morning routine as a "challenge".
James said: "Yes, getting up in the morning trying to feed six dogs and get Inigo fed and off to nursery is a challenge."
"He spent the first year of his life thinking he was a dog. He'd crawl around on all fours, which was entertaining to watch."

James revealed that Inigo has a special bond with the animals he has grown up surrounded by.
He said: "His first word was 'woof'.
"But he loves dogs, particularly Isla – he puts his arm around her neck and squeezes. He loves chatting to the animals – he shouts at the chickens and knows what noise a cow makes.
"He shares many of my loves – which are tractors, sheep and dogs."
