James Middleton, the younger brother of the Princess of Wales, has spoken out in admiration of his sister, highlighting her emotional intelligence and compassionate nature as defining qualities of her character.
In a heartfelt interview with The Mirror, James praised Kate Middleton, who is now in recovery following her recent battle with cancer. He lauded the royal for her deep emotional awareness and openness, crediting her influence with helping shape his personal growth.
“They’ve always been emotionally open, expressive, and in tune with the people around them,” James said of Kate and the women in his life. “And I think being surrounded by that kind of emotional intelligence rubbed off on me, even if I didn’t fully realise it.”
Reflecting on his journey, James shared how witnessing Kate’s empathetic nature taught him to embrace his emotions more fully.
“Looking back, I think it gave me permission, in a way, to feel things more deeply and to name those feelings when they came up,” he explained.
Kate, known for her poised public presence and dedication to mental health and early childhood initiatives, has long been admired for balancing royal duty with authenticity and relatability. Her brother’s comments shed new light on the personal qualities behind her public image.
James, who has previously been open about his mental health challenges, especially his struggle with depression, continued to speak about the positive impact of being raised alongside strong female role models.
“But having strong women around me who led with compassion and honesty helped me learn that vulnerability wasn’t weakness, it was strength,” he added.
The Princess of Wales has made a notable return to public life in recent weeks following her cancer treatment, resuming royal duties with the same grace and determination that has made her one of the most respected figures in the Royal Family.
Kate’s journey through illness has drawn an outpouring of public support, and her ability to maintain emotional openness during such a challenging time has only deepened the admiration for her from both the public and her loved ones.
As the Royal Family continues to navigate a new era, James Middleton’s comments serve as a reminder of the powerful influence of empathy and emotional strength, qualities embodied by the Princess of Wales not only in her public role but also within her family.
