James Middleton posted a photo of his mother Carole Middleton reading to his son Inigo, according to multiple reports. He gave up social media for Lent and found it wonderful, stating in a social media post that he had been absent from social media for a while and decided to give it up for Lent, which was wonderful. He noted that sometimes people don't fully realize the pressure social media puts on them until they take a step back.
He advised trying a break from social media for a week, month, or longer in 2026. He marked his 39th birthday on Wednesday with a reflective message on social media, saying that every year feels like a bigger climb, but reaching the top and seeing how far you've come never gets old. According to Daily Mail - Home, James Middleton said he can count on his sisters, the Princess of Wales and Pippa Matthews, for parenting advice.
They're definitely at the end of the phone if we need a bit of advice. Also, it's the confidence [they give me]. You're always on edge with being a parent, particularly this time of year with coughs and colds and sniffles going around the place.
According to Daily Mail - Home, he also said Inigo wears hand-me-down clothes from the Prince and Princess of Wales's three children. James Middleton and his wife Alizée welcomed their son Inigo on September 21, 2023, according to major media reports. He is an advisor for Dogs Trust and supported its festive rehoming campaign, according to major media reports.
The exact duration of his social media break during Lent and the current health status of the Princess of Wales, given his reference to her availability for advice, remain unclear.
One of the wonderful things about being the youngest [sibling] and having children last is that there is an abundance of paraphernalia that comes in very handy.
