Kate Middleton’s brother, James, just revealed that his sister’s kids are becoming role models to his son, Inigo. 

The 37-year-old entrepreneur recently opened up about his relationship with his sisters, Kate and Pippa, in a column for The Telegraph. James explained that they regularly get together at their parents’ house—kids included. 

“We’ll often stop at my parents’ house for tea or supper,” he told the outlet. “My sisters and I are all within 30 minutes’ drive, so there is often an aunt or a cousin passing through, too.”

“The cousins all play their role in looking after Inigo—there’s seven of them altogether at the moment,” James added, referring to Kate’s three children (George, Charlotte and Louis) and Pippa’s three kids (Arthur, Grace and Rose). 

He continued, “I think they’re all impressed at how much of a mess Inigo can make. But there’s lots of laughter and giggles about.”

James previously shared never-before-heard details about Inigo’s cousins—including how he received all their hand-me-downs. “They are milestones, because [my sisters] remember when their child was wearing something, and how old they were—it takes them back,” the entrepreneur told Hello! magazine. “It’s been a lovely thing for them.” 

James continued, “He’s fortunate to have older cousins who can now pick him up and show him things, and as he grows up, they’ll be able to look out for him. There’s definitely an element of curiosity [about] a baby that they have.”

Luckiest. Kids. Ever.
