Overview

• James Middleton and his wife, Alizee Thevenet, recently welcomed their first child —a son named Inigo; the name holds significant cultural and personal meaning, with associations to the archetypal character Inigo Montoya from 'The Princess Bride' and the Spanish/Basque origin meaning 'fiery.'
• James Middleton shared the first images of his newborn son, Inigo, on Instagram, expressing the overwhelming emotion of becoming a parent and noting the joy it has brought into their lives.
• James Middleton's six pets played a special part in welcoming baby Inigo into the family, even featuring in the first photos of the baby; James' late dog, Ella, holds a particularly significant role as she was instrumental in him meeting his wife, Alizee.
• James and Alizee Thevenet met in 2018, got engaged a year later, and wed in France in September 2021; they announced they were expecting their first child in the summer of 2022.
• The arrival of baby Inigo makes Princess Kate an aunt for the sixth time and welcomes a new cousin for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
