"Happy Easter from my family to yours," wrote James - who announced his engagement to Alizee Thevenet in October 2019.

"We are counting down the days until we get the keys to our new home and can be reunited with our belongings, which have been in storage for almost a year now," he wrote.
"We are country people and love going out for long walks, but one of the key reasons we wanted to live in the countryside was our six dogs."
While the pair currently share a London home together, they have been staying with James' parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, at their stunning Bucklebury home during lockdown.

"Together with the dogs over the last year, we have probably walked or run every single footbath in West Berkshire - and there are a lot of them," he said of their life in the small village.
James and Alizee announced their engagement after just over a year of dating. They were forced to postpone their wedding - which was due to take place in May 2020 - because of the coronavirus pandemic.
