James Middleton, brother of the Princess of Wales, shared a fabulous picture of his young son, Inigo, on Thursday. The rarely-seen tot was outside in a field alongside the family's dogs as he watched the solar eclipse on Wednesday evening.
The adorable two-year-old appeared to be pointing at the sky as he took in the light. James penned: "Solar Eclipse 2026. A strange, beautiful few minutes… The dogs, meanwhile, weren’t entirely sure what was going on…"

The Wales family visit Lapland UK
The family of five enjoyed a day out at Lapland UK in Ascot in December 2022. The Christmas theme park is hugely popular with families and is the first of its kind, boasting reindeer, a toy factory, an engaging, magical forest and themed shops, as well as an ice rink.

Although we can't be sure, Princess Charlotte or her brothers may have passed down their cherished keepsake to their younger cousin - a heartfelt gesture highlighting the close-knit bond between the Middleton and Wales families.
