James Middleton, the younger brother of Princess Kate, has shared a sweet reaction to the news that the royal will be making an appearance at Trooping the Colour on Saturday.
A post confirming the news was shared by the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales and James took to the comments to share his response, which consisted of a single red heart emoji.
When Kate confirmed her cancer news back in March, James took to his own social media feed to share a childhood photo of the pair together out on a hike. "Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too," he wrote in a sweet message.
The pair have supported each other throughout their respective health battles, with Kate even attending therapy sessions with her younger brother when he was diagnosed with depression.

"And that was so important because that helped them understand me and how my mind was working. And I think the way the therapy helped me was that I didn't need my family to say, 'What can we do?' The only thing they could do was just come to some of the therapy sessions to start to understand."

The businessman is set to open up about his childhood growing up with Kate and Pippa in his upcoming memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog That Saved My Life.
