Princess Kate's brother James Middleton released the cover of his highly-anticipated memoir today.

The 37-year-old took to social media with a picture of the highly-anticipated book, which is titled Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life.


James captioned the post: "Don’t judge a book by its cover… but in this case you CAN.

"Where better to do a cover reveal for my book ‘Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life’ than at my favourite dog event @goodwoofdogs this weekend (18/19 May).

"I will be there on both Saturday and Sunday at Literary Corner discussing the book and revealing the cover.

"There are still some tickets left so I really hope to see you there."

James's book discusses his relationship with Ella, a cocker spaniel whom he adopted at the age of 20.

He cared for Ella for 15 years before the dog's death last year.

The father-of-one has spoken in-depth about life with his pet, including how Ella helped him meet his wife Alizee Thevenet.

The couple became engaged in September 2019 but had to delay the wedding twice due to Covid.

James and Thevenet finally tied the knot in Bormes-les-Mimosas in 2021.

Thevenet has since joined her husband on several public engagements, including attending Kate's annual Christmas carol service in 2021.

James, who welcomed his first child Inigo last year, said he was inspired to write the book to honour their family.

He told Tatler: "Writing this book has helped [me deal with the grief I have after Ella's passing] by enabling me to process the journey that Ella and I went on.

"Ella was there at so many of the important moments of my life, including when I met Alizee. Our son was born after Ella passed away so Inigo never got to meet her, but it’s important to me that he knows all about her.

"Another of the reasons that I wanted to write this book was so that I could tell Inigo the story of how I met his mother."
