Many people think that being related to the rich and famous is a big plus, but we will disappoint you. The other day, an interview appeared in the press with the brother of Prince William’s wife, James Middleton, who spoke without embellishment about the painful issue.

According to the Daily Mail, James Middleton is already accustomed to being on the sidelines, always remaining the younger brother. He admitted that being related to someone from the royal family is always difficult.

I'm always seen only as Kate's little brother, that's how it always was at school, and that's how it still is.

Despite the fact that James has built a successful career and headed a dessert company, he still remains in the shadow of his famous sister, who became a duchess. In this case, he can be understood by, which, but everyone is still discussing, . However, James always felt like an outcast around her and Pippa.

They were always successful and self-confident, when everyone found out that I was their brother, they immediately accepted me, automatically took me to sports teams. But I was different from them, so people often asked me: “Are you really Middleton?”

By the way, the younger brother of the Kardashian sisters, Robert, encountered a similar story. James's situation got even worse when Kate started dating, because the press literally attacked their family.

I deliberately got up first early in the morning to take the morning newspapers and cut out articles about my sister from them, otherwise everyone would only talk about them.

Kate Middleton's younger brother James still can't get used to the fact that his family receives such increased attention, but he has practically accepted that this is inevitable, but is he ready for such a test?

After James Middleton's Boomf company suffered losses of £3 million ($3.9 million), he fled to the countryside where he discovered beauty.

The younger brother of the Duchess of Cambridge decided to give up all attempts to found a successful business and moved to the village, where he got a job in the service sector.

James now works at the Glen Affric Lodge, located near Scotland's Loch Ness. The business is owned by David Matthews, James's father, who is Pippa Middleton's husband.

The 31-year-old brother of the Duchess of Cambridge has previously admitted more than once that he has a love for the countryside. According to him, he is “insanely happy” in the village, and dreams of living there with his four dogs.


Photos of James entertaining hotel guests have appeared on the Internet. In one of the photos, he is wearing a tweed jacket, light jeans, high boots and a Sherlock Holmes-style cap. Tourists walk next to him, looking at the surroundings with interest.

Kate Middleton's brother is a would-be businessman

The youngest child of the Middleton family is indeed the least successful of the three children of the British couple.

The eldest girl, Kate Middleton, became the wife of Britain's Prince William, second in line to the royal throne. The middle child, Pippa, although she waited a long time for her betrothed, chose the most worthy one. In May 2017, the 34-year-old beauty married a British billionaire, from whom she is now married.

But the youngest child is really the most unlucky. He is not only unlucky in business, but also in love. In the past, he had a baking company that failed. After this, he ended up bankrupt, but again tried his luck in business, and again failed.

His last long-term relationship also did not lead to anything good. Until February 2018, James dated who could become his wife. But their romance ended as unexpectedly as it began.

What to give for a wedding to a couple who has everything? Kate and Pippa Middleton's brother James, 31, knows the answer.

The wedding of Pippa Middleton and millionaire James Matthews took place last year, and until now it was not known what the newlyweds received as a gift from those closest to them. The editor of the Daily Mail managed to declassify a gift from Pippa's brother, James Middleton, and this, I must say, is far from obvious. Previously, Middleton Jr.'s favorite gifts were dogs: he gave a black cocker spaniel to Kate Middleton and Prince William on the occasion of their wedding - Lupo appeared more than once in the official photographs of the couple, and a puppy of the same breed named Rafa - Pippa. Apparently, Pippa didn’t want a second four-legged friend, so James had to use his imagination.

As a result, he gave the family of millionaires... an old boat, which he named the same as the puppy - Rafa. The wooden vessel was made back in the 1930s. For help with the restoration, James turned to George Winks, founder of Temper Studio.

James came to me with this boat and I restored the structure. And James himself repaired a beautiful old engine. He is very knowledgeable about such things and can bring life back to old equipment,” George shared with the publication.

It is known that the boat is now in the Matthews family estate Glen Affric in Scotland.

While Kate is relaxing at Kensington Castle, the youngest Middleton is not wasting any time. Pippa Middleton is not only a relative of the future Queen of England, but also a young writer.

James

The Middleton family gained great fame thanks to the crowned marriage of Kate and Prince William. After this, the Princess's parents, as well as her younger sister and brother, are under the gun of cameras. Unfortunately, not all the pictures can please: Kate's brother, James Middleton, has a very scandalous reputation.

James Middleton born April 15, 1987. He is the youngest child in his family. There is quite a big age difference between Kate and James, so talking about friendly relations between them is quite difficult. The boy was often sick as a child, but was always the center of attention. He always had many friends. According to family tradition, James entered the University of Edinburgh, but there were big problems with graduation.

The young guy decided to go into business, continuing the family idea: producing desserts. James Middleton's company currently offers pastries and cakes for any occasion. What’s most interesting is that the sweet product can have almost any form. Considering that the Duchess of Cambridge is currently riding a wave of popularity, her brother’s culinary masterpieces are selling out very quickly.

As a child, the boy was much closer to his sister Pippa. There is a possibility that his upbringing was strongly influenced by his female environment. It’s not just that the press is spreading rumors that James is gay. This information appeared almost immediately after the marriage of William and Kate, when journalists began to collect negativity regarding the Middleton family.
