How did Kate’s brother meet his wife?

James has previously revealed how he and Alizee met.

He said he was at a London sports club and his dog Ella “made a beeline” for Alizee instead of a nearby water bowl.

Chatting to the Telegraph, he said: “Rather embarrassed, I went over to apologize and bring Ella back

“Little did I know, but I had just met my future wife, all thanks to Ella.

“If I hadn’t trusted Ella, I wouldn’t have brought her to the South Kensington Club and she wouldn’t have been able to say hi to the woman who became my fiancée.”

James has also got the seal of approval from his new wife’s father, Jean-Gabriel.

In 2019, the father of the bride said: “My daughter Alizee is very happy with James, they are very much in love.”

“I know she is very happy. We keep our fingers crossed for them.”
