In a beautiful display of sibling love and loyalty, Pippa Middleton has stepped up in the most touching way to fulfill a heartfelt promise made by her brother, James Middleton, to their sister, Princess Catherine. This moving gesture has left royal fans in awe, showcasing the incredible bond shared between the Middleton siblings.
What could this promise be, and why is it so significant to Catherine’s life? As the details unfold, it’s clear that Pippa’s act of devotion is not only deeply personal but also a testament to the strength of their family ties. This emotional moment is one you won’t want to miss!
Pippa and James Middleton made their feelings clear when Kate revealed that she and Prince William were getting married.
The younger siblings of the Princess of Wales were told the exciting news in a local pub, according to a new book penned by James Middleton.
James stated that he and Pippa made clear to Kate that they would always be there to support her.
He wrote: “We make a quiet acknowledgement that we’ll always be there for each other, look out for one another, support each other.
“No matter how crazy things get.”
He added in a separate passage: “Catherine rings to let me know” ahead of the announcement being made public later that day.
The 37-year-old also shared in his memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, that he was taken aback when his sister and future brother-in-law asked him to do a reading during their 2011 wedding at Westminster Abbey.
“A reading? I thought they were joking,” he wrote.
“My mind raced back to school and my stumbling, incoherent efforts to read in front of the class.
“What were they thinking? Being dyslexic, reading is my least favourite occupation.”
He recalled asking them: “Seriously?” Kate and William responded: “Seriously.”
Kate’s brother admitted: “If that was what my sister and William wanted, then of course I’d do my best not to let them down.”
James’s reading was the only Bible reading in the service, and he wrote he did not know “whether to be honoured or appalled” at the time.
He then practised for months in order to recite it properly.
“I carried it with me everywhere, taking it out of my pocket to practice the lines, over which I tripped and stumbled, transposing syllables, getting my ps and bs — my nemeses — in a twist,” he explained.
“I wanted to do [Kate and William] both proud,” he said. “I glanced up and saw happy faces I recognised in the congregation and the nervousness fell away. I took a deep breath … and began.”
After the nuptials, he revealed he “received thousands of messages and invitations to read lessons at churches around the globe”.
