Overview
- James shared an Instagram picture over the weekend featuring his two-year-old son Inigo with the family retrievers to mark Isla’s fourth birthday, captioning the post 'Happy 4th birthday, Isla.'
- He said in the post that he accompanied his sister Catherine for parts of the National Three Peaks Challenge and praised her 'strength, resilience, and determination' after her cancer treatment.
- Isla is one of the puppies from James’s dog Mabel’s 2022 litter and was named as a nod to her Scottish roots, a detail James originally announced when he introduced the pup in 2022.
- James’s public image links pets, mental-health advocacy and business: he founded dog food brand Ella & Co and wrote a 2024 memoir about his late dog Ella and his recovery from depression.
- The posts keep family life at the centre of public attention, and by pairing intimate images with Catherine’s fundraising effort they are likely to raise extra public interest and donations for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
