Princess of Wales’ brother, James Middleton, celebrated his 37th birthday on Monday, April 15.

The Middleton family gathered for a truly special occasion for James, not before his highly publicized struggles with depression and dyslexia.

To mark the occasion of his birthday, did Catherine’s brother reveal a wonderful and thoughtful gift he received from his sister.

After the princess was diagnosed with cancer, battle James Middleton, who rarely comments on his relationship with sister Catherine in public, posted a message of support for the princess hours after her video message was released.

Alongside his profound words, James Middleton’s journey unfolded, marked by both triumphs and tribulations. The 37-year-old has been exceptionally open about how Catherine and their sister Pippa supported him during his battle with depression, revealing that they attended therapy sessions with him when things were particularly bad. And now, James, still here to persist, sister Catherine, and became her emotional support as the princess coped with cancer.

When it comes to supporting his sister, it’s clear the feeling is completely mutual. In his unwavering support, surrounded by lush greenery in the serene countryside of Berkshire and the comforting embrace of family, the birthday party provided a much-needed respite for the Middleton family amidst Catherine’s health challenges. Catherine’s infectious smile and upbeat demeanor uplifted the spirits of all those present, instilling a sense of hope and optimism amidst trying times. Her presence at the event not only underscored her unwavering commitment to her family but also served as a poignant reminder of her courageous spirit in the face of adversity and reflected her positive recovery.

The father of one shared a never-before-seen childhood photo of himself with his princess. In the past, the businessman opened up about his struggles with depression and how his family was there to help him through it. On his Instagram page, with a fascinating video of him practicing beekeeping, revealing that he received a wonderful beekeeping gift from his sisters, his sisters Pippa and Katherine, as well as the parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, expressed his love for this hobby. His journey took a darker turn when he was diagnosed with clinical depression, with his dogs notably Ella providing a beacon of hope.

Yet tragedy struck with Ella’s passing, plunging James into profound grief. Despite setbacks, including business challenges and personal struggles, all of them he told when asked if they ever went with him in person, he added, ‘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.’ One of the most recent times James publicly mentioned his sister was hours after her shock cancer news was shared with the world in March.

The dad of one shared a never-before-seen childhood photo of him and Catherine beaming against a mountain landscape. He wrote in the caption, ‘Over the years we have climbed many mountains together as a family, we will climb this one with you too.’ As an advocate for mental health himself, it comes as no surprise that James is proud of his sister for all the awareness she raises for mental health through her campaigns, ‘Shaping Us’ and ‘Heads Together.’ In February 2023, Catherine took to social media with a photo of herself alongside former Capital Radio presenter Roman Kemp as part of her ‘Shaping Us’ initiative.
