James Middleton: Being Brother of Kate Middleton is Frustrating!

James Middleton isn’t just Kate Middleton ‘s younger brother, but he’ll always be known as that to many people, which he admits can be frustrating. In the 27-year-old entrepreneur’s interview with The Young Director (TYD), a new app and digital magazine available in iPad, James discusses this. “Yes, it does get frustrating,” he admits of being overshadowed. “I work incredibly hard … just like every other person in business and work.” “And aside from the fact of – yes, I am the brother of someone very important – I am, at the end of the day, just James,” Middleton tells TYD. James Middleton is very hands on at Boomf, a company he co-founded that allows Instagram users to have their pictures printed on marshmallows. Prior to that, he tells the publication that he “used the stepping stones within the family business” to start his first venture, The Cake Kit Company. “I have only ever employed myself,” he says proudly , and wanting to do just that was the big reason he dropped out of University of Edinburgh. Additionally, James says, he “was not confident in the pursuit of me getting my degree,” largely because of his lifelong struggle with dyslexia. Nowadays, though, “I feel dyslexia is a strong point in me now … I usually joke that it’s like a Superpower – you only have it if you’ve got it!” “For one, it makes you unique, and two, your brain just works differently; you’ll get to the solution but just in a different … maybe unconventional way.” The younger brother of Kate Middleton and Pippa Middleton seems a little squeamish when asked about his “guilty pleasures,” but he comes clean. “Ah! Family Guy,” he admits. “I know to some it may not be a guilty pleasure.” “I absolutely love the show! Some people think they are just cartoons,” he adds, “but I think they are so clever and much more than cartoons.” As for who he’d want to play him in a movie? That’s an easy one: “Leonardo DiCaprio! I would want Leonardo to play me because I believe in his acting mastery. The guy is a genius and he would make me look fantastic.” Always nice to hear more about James, who sounds like he’s doing a lot of interesting stuff out of the spotlight so often enjoyed by his sister(s) … 17 Vintage Kate Middleton Photos 1.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Select Prince George Godparents: Who’d They Pick?

Kate Middleton and Prince William have named three godparents for their newborn baby Prince George, and their choices are a break from tradition. Bypassing Prince Harry, Pippa Middleton, and the usual royal suspects, Will and Kate instead tapped three old friends from childhood and college: Fergus Boyd, a friend from the University of St. Andrews Emilia d’Erlanger, a long-term friend of Prince William who also has known Kate Middleton since their time at Marlborough College Hugh van Cutsem, one of his oldest childhood pals No other members of the royal family have ever selected as godparents friends who didn’t have royal ties. William and Kate: They’re just like us! There’s talk, however, that George will have six godparents in all, meaning Prince Harry, Pippa Middleton and James Middleton still stand a good chance. Still, pretty cool move on the royals’ part as usual. A godparent is supposed to serve as a spiritual guide for a child, as well as a caretaker in the event that something happens to the child’s parents. It can be a huge responsibility, especially to parents who choose to baptize their babies and who take the selection of a godparent very seriously. William and Kate are very close to their siblings, so this isn’t a snub. As we said, they may end up as godparents as well. But either way, it’s interesting. Do you like their decision to pick friends, as a symbol of their appreciation of them and for the friends’ potential role in the life of Prince George ? Share your vantage point with us below.
