The Duchess of Cambridge's younger brother has posted a rare message about his royal sister.
James Middleton took to Instagram to say how proud he was of his big sister Kate for her new parenting survey 5 Big Questions.
The mum-of-three launched the survey in a bid to start a national conversation about how to make positive change for future generations.
She aims to bring together the thoughts of individuals, organisations and businesses - and now James is encouraging people to get involved as well.
He shared a cute photo of him when he was a little boy with their grandparents' British bulldog Gibson.
The caption reads: "This isn’t a post about dogs...brace yourselves....BUT it’s in huge support of my wonderful Sister’s ‘Early Years’ initiative to ask “5 big questions on the under fives”.
"If you have 5 minutes & live in the UK join the biggest conversation on early childhood.
"Like me even if you don’t have children, your own experiences will help invest in the future of the next generation (link in bio)."
James, who owns a marshmallow company, usually uses his popular Instagram page to share photos of his adorable dogs.
In his bio he describes himself as "dog dad to Ella, Zulu, Inka, Luna and Mabel".
More than 200,000 people have already taken part in Kate's survey, which she has been actively promoting over the past few weeks.
She gave her most honest and candid interview ever to discuss is, speaking on Giovanna Fletcher's podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby about her mum guilt and giving birth.
During the chat she was asked what it was like holding her first child Prince George for the first time.
She replied: "Amazing, amazing. It is extraordinary as I’ve said. How can the human body do that? It is utterly extraordinary actually. And he was very sweet .
"And also sort of relieved that he was a happy, healthy boy."
She also gave a heartwarming description of William's reaction to becoming a dad.
"Seeing, you know your husband, William, and things like that. Seeing the pure joy of his face it was really special."
