James Middleton Reveals Prince William's Game Night Excuses

James Middleton recently revealed on the 'Walking the Dog' podcast that Prince William used to make excuses to skip card game nights with the Middleton family, which he found overly competitive. William, who began dating Kate Middleton when James was a teenager, often sought ways to leave the game after family dinners, particularly during their favorite fast-paced card game, Racing Demon. James noted that William would ask if his dog, Ella, needed a walk to avoid participating, highlighting his discomfort with the family's competitive spirit. In his memoir, 'Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life,' James elaborated on how Ella provided a convenient excuse for William to escape the card games. He described William as preferring to be the first out of the game and often slinking off to cuddle with Ella instead. This insight adds a lighthearted glimpse into the dynamics of family gatherings within the Middleton household.
