Although the royal family members look perfect all the time, they are just regular people like the rest of us. The only thing that makes them different is that they have certain obligations to do for the monarchy. To prove even further that the royals are regular people with regular problems, Kate Middleton deals with a family issue as well.
Mental health awareness is something that Kate Middleton is very passionate about. Not only is this an issue that the Duchess of Cambridge sees that is growing in the world, but she witnesses this first hand as her own brother is dealing with this problem.
Kate Middleton’s brother, James, revealed in an interview that his sister helped a lot in his recovery. The Middletons -- Michael, Carole, Kate, and Pippa -- joined family therapy with James to help him deal with his mental health challenges, and they ended up learning from it as well.
“That was actually a very, very big thing,” James said. “It was so important because it helped them understand me and how my mind was working. The only thing they could do was just come to some of the therapy sessions to start to understand.”
James Middleton had dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. He, later, developed mental health challenges. Two years ago, the Middletons helped James deal with his issue. Despite having royal obligations, Kate Middleton had always been a huge part of her brother’s recovery.
James Middleton shared that he is getting better, which his family is very happy about. However, Kate Middleton's younger brother admitted that he is still not completely healed from his problem. “I’m conscious that I haven’t got rid of it, but I’m on top of it. The way I was a couple of years ago was about as far to the other end of the scale as it could be,” he said.
Meanwhile, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle reunited once again to narrate a three-minute video about mental health called Every Mind Matters. Many thought that they would not see the “royal fab four” work together again, but the Cambridges and Sussexxes prove them all wrong by teaming up for a good cause.
Back in June, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to leave the Royal Foundation. The move was a huge surprise since the Duke of Sussex created the foundation with Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Cambridges and Sussexes were then rumored to be feuding.
