In his new memoir titled ‘Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life‘, Kate Middleton‘s brother, James Middleton, shares the shocking story of when he almost took his own life due to suicidal urges and reveals what made him change his mind.
James Middleton, brother of the Princess of Wales, wrote: “Life is no longer worth living. 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“, revealing his intention to end his existence.
The book also reveals, “Dark thoughts crowd in on me. What can I do to make them stop? I think about jumping from the rooftop. Who would find me? A passing taxi-driver? A neighbor?” However, James could do no such thing, as he imagined what would happen to his faithful companion if he were no longer alive.
“What would happen to Ella if I died? How long would she wait alone in the flat for someone to find her? I have loved her with every bit of my being since she was a tiny, sightless, newborn pup“, were James’ thoughts, who then confessed, “She is the reason I do not take that fatal leap. She is Ella, the dog who saved my life“.
