The Princess of Wales, 42, shares three children with her husband Prince William

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have stepped into "new roles" amid Princess Kate's family update.

James Middleton has opened up about how his royal nieces and nephews, as well as Pippa Middleton's children, are all doting on his one-year-old son, Inigo.


The Princess of Wales's brother and his wife, Alizee Thevenet, welcomed their first child last year, and the family of three lives in Bucklebury, Berkshire.

James said: "We'll often stop at my parents' house for tea or supper.

"My sisters and I are all within 30 minutes' drive, so there is often an aunt or a cousin passing through, too.

"The cousins all play their role in looking after Inigo – there's seven of them altogether at the moment.

"I think they're all impressed at how much of a mess Inigo can make."

He continued to tell The Telegraph: "But there's lots of laughter and giggles about."

Kate, 42, shares Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis with her husband Prince William.

Meanwhile, Pippa, 41, is mother-of-three to Arthur, Grace, and Rose with her husband James Matthews.

In his new memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, Kate's younger brother gives sweet details about his upbringing.

He offered plenty of insight into life with his two older sisters.

James continued to tell the publication: "Even when I had my depression I recognised the importance of family, and rather than one person being burdened with it all, it's shared.

"I think any challenge that a family goes through is one that brings them together.

"It's been wonderful, seeing them become mothers and being so dedicated and strong. I'm in awe of that.

"I've been fortunate to see how my sisters have done it and take tips along the way – some I take on board, and others I'm like: 'Hmm.'"
