James Middleton Unveils Cover for Memoir About His Beloved Dog, Ella

James Middleton, the brother of the Princess of Wales, has revealed the cover of his upcoming memoir, “Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life.” The 37-year-old businessman, who lost his cocker spaniel Ella last year after 15 years together, credits her with saving his life.

The book chronicles James’s life through his relationship with Ella, detailing his childhood longing for a dog, his struggles with clinical depression, and how Ella helped him find his wife, Alizee. It also includes heartwarming stories involving his sisters, Kate and Pippa.

James shared the book cover on Instagram, featuring a photo of him in a blue checkered shirt with Ella draped around his shoulders. This photo, taken by his wife Alizee during one of their last walks with Ella, holds deep meaning for him.

He unveiled the cover at the Goodwoof event in Chichester, West Sussex, where he appeared with his other dogs and spoke about the memoir. James expressed his gratitude for the support and shared his emotional journey with Ella.

Fans have eagerly anticipated the book, sharing their excitement and personal stories of their own beloved pets in the comments. James credits Ella with saving his life after he was diagnosed with clinical depression in 2016, and hopes his book will encourage open discussions about mental health and the profound impact of pets.

James also launched the dog food brand Ella & Co in 2020, named after his cherished cocker spaniel. He fondly recalls how Ella introduced him to Alizee in 2018, when the pup approached her at the South Kensington Club.

“Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life” is available for pre-order in Britain and the US and will be released on September 26. The synopsis highlights the extraordinary bond between James and Ella, from their first meeting to attending royal weddings and significant life events, illustrating the love, loyalty, and twists of fate that marked their journey together.
