We're All Queen Camilla Swooning Over Kate Middleton's Brother In This New Video

James Middleton, the younger brother of Catherine, Princess of Wales, had a sweet relationship with Queen Elizabeth II. And he also seems to be on fantastic terms with Queen Camilla, judging by their latest public outing. Camilla hosted a reception for the charity Medical Detection Dogs at Clarence House, which had been the primary house for King Charles and Camilla before he became king, and James was in attendance. She seemed to be quite friendly with her stepson's brother-in-law, greeting him with a double kiss on the cheeks. Then, judging by the videos from the interaction, having a fun conversation. James was wearing a sharp suit, and he cut quite the dashing and confident figure. While we know there's nothing untoward happening between them, he's quite easy on the eyes, and like Camilla, we'd be all smiles too if we were having a chat with him.

Queen Camilla has met a group of life-saving hounds who have been trained to sniff out disease and illness.

Social media certainly noticed how dashing James looked as he spoke with Camilla. One person on X wrote simply, "James Middleton is hot." Someone else said, "and it's nice to see how at ease he is with Camilla, they obviously know each other very well." One person noted, "He always comes across as such a genuinely nice person!" Others commented about how much Camilla must like her daughter-in-law if she's this friendly and close with James.

As handsome as he is, James Middleton is off the market. James and Alizee Thevenet got married in 2021, and the two have one child: Inigo Middleton, who was born in 2023.

Both James and Queen Camilla have a deep love for dogs. James has been open about how his dog, Ella, helped him with his mental health. He launched James & Ella, a company that makes freeze-dried raw dog food and other treats, and the company has partnered with Medical Detection Dogs to provide treats for the dogs being trained. Camilla has been a patron of Medical Detection Dogs since 2014.

The dogs are learning to "detect human diseases and to support individuals with complex medical conditions," per the James & Ella website. That includes being able to sense cancer, a unique form of early detection. It's a situation that hits close to home for both James and Queen Camilla, as both Catherine, Princess of Wales, and King Charles have undergone cancer treatment in recent years.
