James Middleton Reveals He Was ‘Saved’ From Suicide by His Dog Ella in Forthcoming Book
By Shelby Stivale and Amy Mackelden September 14, 2024

James Middleton is discussing his experience with suicidal thoughts and depression in his forthcoming memoir, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life.

In the new book, which will be released on Thursday, September 26, Princess Kate Middleton’s brother shared how his spaniel Ella was instrumental in saving his life.


“Life is no longer worth living,” James wrote in an excerpt from Meet Ella published by the Daily Mail. “I feel suicidal. I contemplate ways of dying so I can get off the giddy roller-coaster that is sending me to the brink of madness.”

Recalling one particularly harrowing night in 2017, James remembered climbing up onto the roof of his home.

“I pace up and down, but there is no reprieve from the torment in my mind,” he explained. “Dark thoughts crowd in on me,” James wrote. “What can I do to make them stop? I think about jumping from the rooftop. Who would find me? A passing taxi-driver?”

After considering how a potential suicide would impact his family, James was distracted by the sight of his pet dog.

“As I pace, I look down through the skylight and see my spaniel Ella’s gentle eyes looking back up at me,” he said. “Like me, she has been wakeful all night. She senses my strange, agitated state of mind.”

Although James didn’t immediately climb down from the roof, it was his dog Ella’s presence that stopped him from acting on any suicidal thoughts.


“Ella has not moved,” James wrote. “Her brown eyes are still staring intently at me, soulful and pleading, and as my gaze locks on hers again, my brain quietens.”

He continued, “In that instant I know I will not jump. What would happen to Ella if I died? How long would she wait alone in the flat for someone to find her?”

Throughout James’ most challenging moments and experiences with depression, his spaniel Ella was by his side.

“I have loved her with every bit of my being since she was a tiny, sightless, newborn pup,” James explained. “She has been my companion, my hope, my support through my darkest days.”

Poor, "unhappy" Jimmy Middleton.

Sob!

What a tragic, tragic story.

James Middleton Says He 'Pushed' Family Away During Dark Time When He Almost Took His Own Life
Kate Middleton's brother detailed in new memoir, 'Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life' how his dog was instrumental in helping him through a difficult period

James Middleton is getting candid about his mental health and detailing a period of time when he was "unreachable" by his "loving and close-knit" family.

In an excerpt from his forthcoming memoir Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, published by the Daily Mail on Sept. 14, Kate Middleton's 37-year-old brother wrote of a time several years ago when he felt "suicidal" and that life was "no longer worth living."

"I contemplate ways of dying so I can get off the giddy roller-coaster that is sending me to the brink of madness. I cannot sleep because my mind is in tumult," he wrote in the book, set to be published on Sept. 24 in the U.S.

"The insomnia is dizzying. I am utterly exhausted. I feel misunderstood; a complete failure. I wouldn’t wish the sense of worthlessness and desperation, the isolation and loneliness, on my worst enemy. I think I’m going crazy."

"Yet I know I am privileged; fortunate, too, to have a loving and close-knit family — Mum and Dad, my sisters Catherine and Pippa, their husbands William and James — but I push them all away," James, the younger brother of the Princess of Wales, continued. "I do not answer their phone calls. Emails remain ignored. Invitations to visit go unheeded. I behind a double-locked door, unreachable."
