Kate Middleton's younger brother has given a rare glimpse into his relationship with his sister. James Middleton spoke about her "quirks" before adding that he is "extremely proud" of her work ethic.
James spoke about his relationship with the Princess of Wales with Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain.
The 36-year-old said he thought William and Kate had been doing a fantastic job during a tough few years for the Royal Family, adding: "She's my sister and I'm extremely proud. I'm always taken aback by how much she does do.
"But to be honest, she's my sister, so I know all of her quirks and everything and to see her blossoming in that role - I'm very proud of her."
James was on the ITV news programme to talk about how dogs have helped him to cope with his depression and why he is supporting training new guide dogs, writes OK!.
