We learned earlier this year that James Middleton has an Instagram and it’s public. His life is actually quite Insta-friendly – he is dad to a pack of photogenic puppies, he spends a lot of time as a guide on his brother-in-law’s beautiful Scottish estate, and he takes a lot of vacations with his latest girlfriend, a woman named Alizee Thevenet. We first became aware of Alizee over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday, when they were photographed together (on purpose) on vacation with Pippa Middleton. It looks like James took Alizee sailing this weekend, because he posted this IG. It’s a beautiful shot. It makes me wonder if James finally found a lady who’s willing to play the game. The last one barely spent any time with him. I wonder if we’ll be getting an engagement announcement sometime soon.
Meanwhile, we still don’t really know the state of James’ marshmallow company Boomf. Boomf has been struggling for years now, and he’s lost millions of dollars in investment. I’m honestly not even sure he still spends much time operating Boomf – he seemed to step away a year ago or so when he was diagnosed with ADD. Then again, he was around the office enough to jangle his keys at employees and authorize some Nazi marshmallows. Last month, he started selling off some of his prized possessions on Ebay too, so my guess is that he’s financially struggling. My guess is that Alizee is a good distraction from that mess too.

Is he for real in that hat?
just like Kate, apparently all the Middleton children love to theme-dress
Honestly – his life is the kind of life I’d want if I were wealthy. He seems SO much happier lately – and his girlfriend is incredibly cute. I mean – she’s beautiful, but she has a cute vibe (approachable, bubbly looking) if that makes sense? The dogs are gorgeous – he spends a ton of time outside, and it just seems like THE LIFE. Marshmallow business aside, mind you.
I was thinking the same thing: I want that life too!!! Is the grass greener? I want to try just for a few weeks, ok months.
He and his darling GF look like a J. Crew ad! Yes, I would love his life!
Same.
Wonder how much Carole/Gary paid, or William threatened, to get the Nazi party supply story disappeared.
I actually don’t think they had to bother. James’ reputation has always been that he’s an idiot. Even the whistle blower let him off the hook because he’s an idiot and not directly involved with the running of the company. There should have had repercussions, but his bad reputation is what saved him.
Not nearly enough, since it’s common knowledge.
Besides, they’re already exhausting their discretionary budgets helping JM maintain the illusion of a life of leisure. From marshmallows. Marshmallows apparently no one, save the odd Nazi, will buy.
I think it disappeared because NO ONE is interested in him or his failed business(s). He’s pretty much known a clueless wannabe playboy who has NO business acumen which he seems to admit to.
I don’t think it went away without a few palms being greased, either with cash or access. Carole is too desperate to sell off PP or to get business partners for her failing business.
I’d kinda rather they spent a few pounds helping this guy and Alizee (who is totally cute and appears totally happy with him) live a life of Terribly Moderate leisure after all the crap he’s likely put up with over the years (mostly from Carole) for being the underachieving Middleton, the one who couldn’t bag royalty or aristocracy or even just someone Terribly Moderately Wealthy, who fought mental health issues and just wanted to live a normal (albeit privileged) life.
His girlfriend is gorgeous and I want to kiss on those dogs so badly! That’s all I got.
Alizee is very French-looking.
Came to say this!She has that simple beauty that you can’t quite put your finger on-She’s just a natural beauty and I love that she seems to be wearing no makeup-she’s just rocking that subtle simple look that French women emit so effortlessly.
Yup! She’s Oh-la-la! Distinctively French!
That cute pic would look lovely on a marshmallow.
Lol
OMG when I first saw this I instantly thought of Birds Eye’s Captain Fish Fingers. Its the hat, beard and polo neck jumper.
Has anyone ever noticed how much James looks like Queen Elizabeth’s grandfather George V? Especially when he was younger with a beard. Its uncanny.
Lol at their matching sweaters : )
I can never remember – Nazi outfit good, Nazi marshmallows bad, right? That’s this site’s motto?
ROTFL at the Kate stans on here, trying to build up James like he’s a catch.
Give it a rest notasugarhere, nobody well except you is that invested in James Middleton.
His head looks really big.
