🎉what a lovely person James Middleton is ❤🎉

[janetclaireSays]

He is such a sweet, sensitive guy. I'll bet Catherine and Pippa are so protective of him.

[katiem]

James is lovely and so honest about his struggle with depression. Dogs can be so healing!

[finishtherace.]

He’s so nervous. Such a genuine person. All the best, James. I absolutely relate.

[treadlightly]

What an enjoyable interview. So glad James is helping all who suffer in life. Dogs define beauty and honor.

[Themis]

This was really refreshing to see. I'm glad James is in a better place now. Tragically, lots of people out there are only still here because they have a beloved pet to look after.
James was in a privileged position Not because of his name or wealth but because he has a family who adore him and a loving, supportive wife and child, and I'm sure many friends rallying around him.
Some people only have their dog or cat. That's it. Nothing else. It takes an extraordinary amount of courage to keep going when that is your life. ❤

Very kind and beautiful person just like his sister

[margaretneville]

James is a lovely down to earth guy..x…and so handsome

James Middleton seems like a lovely person who has gone through a challenging journey and has learned so much. I wish the interviewer allowed him to finish his thoughts and asked him better questions so that we could have learned important information from him regarding depression and the different available paths to treatment; which, unfortunately, has become a global condition. The way COVID was handled with the lockdowns, certainly revealed this fact.

What a beautiful family unit he comes from. James God bless u for speaking out, and we're sure God sent Ella to you at the right time

[sandratelfer]

Lorraine would you please shut up and let him talk. You ruined the interview talking over James and not letting him answer.

[teachersusan]

I‘m reading the book at the moment. Wonderful book and very brave of him to tell his story.

[EllaU]

James has his own identity, he’s not only Princess Cathrine’s brother. He’s such a very nice person. Can’t wait to read his book. Greetings from Italy, from another Ella. 🌸

[thudeshreenaidoo]

Aaah, James bless you😊 what a beautiful soul
Strength to you brave young man

[catherine]

really lovely man, and he's helping many by speaking out.

[AbigailBrown-wkxl]

I Thank you James for speaking openly and honestly about depression. Big respect to you James Middleton ❤

[Rose-bddt]

I wish Lorraine hadn't interrupted so much, I was really interested in what he was saying

[lisalivingston]

I ran to the bookstore the day James Middleton's book was due to be released. Unfortunately, my local Barnes and Noble did not have even one copy of it on their bookshelves, and I had to special order it. I cannot wait to read "Meet Ella". I admire how open and honest Mr. Middleton has been in sharing his struggles with depression. It is heartwarming to see how happy his life seems to now be as a newlywed and first-time dad. I love the photos of all his dogs that he regularly shares on his Instagram account, and it has actually made me long for a dog of my own that I can share long leisurely walks with now that I am retired.

[jackiealltrades]

He and his sisters are a credit to their parents.

[janprice]

What a lovely man. Lorraine spoiled the interview, she would not stop talking and talking at the wrong moment.
