Friends say James and Alizee, who has lived and worked in London for six years, are ‘serious’ about each other, a sentiment shared by her father Jean-Gabriel Thevenet.   

‘My daughter Alizee is very happy with James, they are very much in love,’ Mr Thevenet told MailOnline.

Speaking from his bed-and-breakfast hotel in the mountains of rural France, Mr Thevenet spoke of his happiness that his daughter had found love with James Middleton.

‘James is a very charming man,’ he said. ‘I am very happy that Alizee is together with James. I know she is very happy. We keep our fingers crossed for them.

‘I am not allowed to say how they met, to give away their secrets. You must talk to her or James, they will be back in London soon, but I’m very happy for them.

‘I have seen the pictures of Alizee and James in St Barts. They look very happy. Alizee is very happy living in London.’
