Kate Middleton’s brother James posts heartwarming message to his sister after cancer diagnosis
Kate Middleton’s younger brother James posted a heartfelt message to his big sister Friday after she publicly revealed her cancer diagnosis.
“Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together,” the 36-year-old wrote along with a picture of the pair as children and a heart emoji.
“As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”
The image depicts a youthful Princess of Wales standing behind her sibling with both wearing backpacks.
The post was inundated with thousands of supportive comments wishing James and his sister luck in their upcoming fight.
The brother and sister have long been close, with James crediting Kate in the past for helping him grapple with mental health issues.
He told the Telegraph in a 2021 interview that she joined him at therapy sessions along with his other sister Pippa.
“Not necessarily at the same time, but either individually and sometimes together,” he told the outlet.
“And that was so important because that helped them understand me and how my mind was working. And I think the way the therapy helped me was that I didn’t need my family to say, ‘What can we do?’ The only thing they could do was just come to some of the therapy sessions to start to understand.”
More recently, Middleton made a rare television appearance on “Good Morning Britain” last summer and sang her praises.
“She’s my sister … and I’m extremely proud and I’m always taken aback by how much she does do, and that continues to stay at the forefront of my mind,” he said.
