Kate Middleton’s brother, James Middleton, had a special bond with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
“‘Did you get my message, James?’
she asked me the first time I visited,” James wrote.

“‘Ella is welcome to stay in your room.'”
Later on, Ella’s puppies Tilly and Zulu were allowed at Sandringham as well.
A footman told him she was in the kitchen!

James thought Elizabeth would never find out what happened, but sure enough, she did.
He was very sorry, but Elizabeth didn’t seem to mind.
“So in a way, I felt the Queen was filling a granny-sized void in my life.”

He remembered that time fondly, especially how quick Elizabeth was at putting the puzzle together.
“Hives are highly organised communities presided over by a queen bee,” James added.
“So a jar of honey, a gift from a queen to the Queen, seemed fitting.”
I’d met her several times, notably at my sister’s wedding, and she was always welcoming.
‘You must be hungry.
verify you have something to eat.'"
He shared a wedding photo of Elizabeth and Prince Philip onInstagramon his anniversary withhis wife Alizee Thevenet.
To my darling Alizee I look forward to sharing as many with you in our lifetime."
James honored the queen again by giving one of his puppies a significant name.
He chose a nickname for Elizabeth’s father King George VI, Bertie, as the name.
James also sent Bertie to the Guide Dogs organization so he can train as a guide dog.
