In James Middleton’s memoir ‘Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life‘ it has been revealed what was the unexpected place Kate Middleton told her siblings about her engagement to Prince William and their reaction.
According to the book, James, Pippa, and Kate Middleton were in the Old Boot pub near their parents’ house, being the iconic place where the two siblings of the now Princess of Wales found out about the engagement between the royal and their sister.
“We sit in a corner, chattering quietly. Catherine whispers the news and says it will become public in the next day or so“, reveals James in his memoirs, implying that by then the news was a secret, so they should not react in any way that could reveal the news of William and Kate.
That is why the author wrote, “Pippa and I want to be visibly excited, but we have to tamp down our emotions so no one suspects a thing“. However, the moment brought them closer together as siblings, so they promised to always support and care for each other, “No matter how crazy things get“.
