Princess Kate's brother shares 'interesting' facts about Middleton's family

Carole Middleton lives nearest to her youngest child, James Middleton, even after her daughters, Princess Kate and Pippa Matthews, relocated to Berkshire.

James,37, resides in the Berkshire countryside with his wife, Alizee Thevenet, and their young son. 

In a recent interview, James shared that his parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, are just a short drive away-only about five minutes from his home.

He also noted that his sister Pippa and her husband are approximately 20 minutes away, while the Prince and Princess of Wales are about half an hour from him. 

Having grown up in the area, James spoke warmly about the proximity of his family, saying it allows them to spend plenty of time together, reported GB News.

'We are very close as family, and it's really special to be able to see each other regularly. My parents are great at bringing us all together,' he said. 

During the conversation, James also touched on a lighter moment from the past, recalling a family joke about Prince William needing to be a dog lover to truly fit in with the Middletons.
