In a recent revelation from James Middleton's memoir, 'Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life', he shares that Prince William prefers to avoid competitive card games with the Middleton family, known for their ruthless nature in games like Racing Demon. William would often feign interest in walking James' dog Ella to escape the games, much to the amusement of the family, who noted his eagerness to be the first eliminated. James writes about his personal struggles with mental health, crediting Ella with providing comfort during his darkest times. He reflects on the isolation he felt despite having a supportive family, including sisters Catherine and Pippa, revealing the toll of his mental anguish. The insights shed light on both William's personality in the context of family dynamics and James' path to recovery through companionship with his dog.
