Carole Middleton ‘reduced to tears’ with Michael’s ‘humiliating’ remarks about James

James Middleton, brother of Princess Kate, opened up about his struggles with education in his new memoir. His father, Michael, called his £32,000-a-year education a “waste of money” after James had to retake his Chemistry A-Level multiple times. Despite the challenges, James expressed gratitude for his parents wanting the best for him. He found solace in nature and dogs, feeling like an outcast at school. Despite failing his first-year exams at Edinburgh University, he persevered with the support of his family and his own dog. James’ memoir sheds light on the pressure to succeed and the importance of finding comfort in the things that bring joy.
