James Middleton’s dog food firm Hello Ella is given £500,000 boost by ‘impressed’ pet tycoon
As I delve into these captivating narratives of extraordinary individuals, I find myself utterly enchanted by their resilience, creativity, and unyielding spirit. Each story is a testament to human tenacity and the indomitable will to rise above adversity, whether it be a burglary that shatters one’s peace or health issues that force retirement from a cherished profession.
Instead of London, James Middleton opted for a serene lifestyle in a small Berkshire village with only 100 residents, and it just so happens that there are two pubs there. However, it’s unlikely that he will slip into rural anonymity.
Shortly following the release and swift success of his book, Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, the brother of the late Princess of Wales received recognition from a dog food company he founded in 2019, as they bestowed upon him an honorary golden paw-print.
Hello Ella, the dog that helped James overcome deep depression, has secured investment from Craig Taylor. At just 16, Craig dropped out of school but later turned around the fortunes of his family’s modest pet food company based in Norfolk.
Currently, at the helm is Taylor, aged 58, who now leads the largest producer of ‘dehydrated pet food’ across Europe. Earlier in 2020, he started off as a small shareholder in Hello Ella, but recently expanded his ownership to a significantly larger portion.
Newly disclosed records from Companies House show that Taylor has transformed his company loan into 6,879 shares, with each share valued at £72.68 – amounting to a grand total of £500,000. As a result, Taylor’s ownership in Hello Ella is now comparable to James’.
‘I’ve been impressed with the brand,’ Taylor tells me, ‘and how James has built a loyal following.’
Thrilled beyond words, here I am, James! It’s a dream come true to share that my company has just clinched an industry award for our exceptional kibble and raw food offerings. But the excitement doesn’t stop there – we’ve also made it into Waitrose and Sainsbury’s shelves! With Craig’s brilliant expertise, I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next as we continue to expand and grow!
Instead of his darkest times, it’s a delightful contrast to find happiness. This new phase began after he decided to leave Edinburgh University and start a business named Boomf, specializing in custom-made marshmallows. Unfortunately, this venture turned out to be unsuccessful, with debts amounting to £800,000 owed to creditors by 2021.
Even in his most challenging times, it was only Ella who provided James with ‘meaning and comfort’. This he realized just last month. Furthermore, Ella approached an appealing blonde – a Frenchwoman named Alizee fluent in three languages. Later, they got married, and now they share a one-year-old son named Inigo and six dogs as their family pets.
India braves battlefield on charity mission to Ukraine
India Hicks will be heading back to Ukraine in the upcoming year for a humanitarian endeavor, despite the fact that their military is facing challenges in countering Russia’s offensive.
My goddaughter warns me that it will be extremely risky. By the time I arrive, she predicts it will have escalated into a fierce struggle for territory.
57-year-old Hicks, a descendant of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, serves on the management team of Global Empowerment Mission, a charitable organization dedicated to humanitarian efforts.
At a book-signing event for her latest publication, Lady Pamela expressed her thoughts about her mother who served as one of Queen Elizabeth’s bridesmaids: “I don’t want to merely serve on the board and act as a symbol. I have to be involved, but it’s quite concerning. My spouse has some worries too.
This year, India, who served as a bridesmaid when King Charles married Lady Diana, took on the role of godmother for Zakhar, a son born to a Ukrainian couple. The christening ceremony for Zakhar, whose parents had met India through her charitable efforts, was conducted in June at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Ukraine’s most revered monastery located in Kyiv.
OnlyFans leaves me lonely, says Lottie
Through modeling, like her half-sibling Kate Moss, and subsequently participating in the adult platform OnlyFans, Lottie Moss expresses that her celebrity status deters prospective romantic partners.
She shares with me that she’s currently unattached yet enjoying her social life to the fullest, having a blast. However, she mentions it can be challenging to find someone suitable due to her profession and personal characteristics, as she expresses this at Nicky Pietrzak’s Delulu London collection launch event in west London.
Lottie, 26 years old, shared her thoughts, “Not everyone can search online to discover who they’re dating and learn about their entire history, which is unfortunate for someone like me.
Lizzy’s a model daughter, Jerry
At the tender age of 13, Elizabeth Jagger commenced her modeling journey by strutting down the runway alongside her mother, Jerry Hall.
Now 40, Sir Mick Jagger’s daughter still enjoys posing with Texan model Jerry, 68.
At the yearly Mon Cheri Barbara Day charity event held at the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, the duo graced the crimson carpet.
On the festive occasion of Barbaratag, I celebrate my beloved Saint Barbara, who stands as a guardian angel to both firefighters and miners like me.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share some intriguing news: Though legendary musician Phil Collins has stepped away from his drum stool due to health concerns, there’s a buzz that the iconic band Genesis might be experiencing a rebirth!
Son of his, Nic (age 23), who’s known as a skilled drummer, will be part of the side project band Mike + The Mechanics during their 2025 global tour.
Guitarist Mike Rutherford says: ‘Nic brings a great energy to the band, and it’s nice keeping it in the family.’ As well as hits including The Living Years, the Mechanics promise to ‘drift into some of Genesis’s much-loved classic tracks’.

Hardy hits jackpot
In the TV series Peaky Blinders, Tom Hardy portrayed the cunning gangster Alfie Solomons, and it’s clear that he excels at turning a profit.
47-year-old Hardy, residing in south-west London alongside his spouse and Peaky Blinders co-star, Charlotte Riley (age 42), reported earnings of approximately £2.5 million from his business last year.
The income of the actor from Hollywood, revealed in the recent financial statements of his company, 33 1/3rd Ltd, reached an impressive £22.2 million, primarily due to his performance, scriptwriting, and production work in the Venom superhero movies.
Actor known for his roles in Mad Max and Inception has just appeared in the third Venom film, titled “The Last Dance,” and is said to have earned approximately £15 million.
The TV host, Eveyspreloved’s proprietor Evey Amery Kurlander, is deeply upset following an appalling burglary at her high-end vintage bags and watches store in north London.
According to the QVC celebrity, thieves made off with merchandise valued at numerous thousands of pounds, including a Hermes Kelly 28 crocodile handbag priced at around £28,000. ‘I’m really distressed about it,’ Evey, aged 57, shares with me.
The entire incident was recorded by security cameras. Two large men managed to enter via the emergency exit and attempted to open a highly secured room. Since they couldn’t get in, they resorted to using a sledgehammer and breaking it open instead. It was quite distressing to observe this unfold.
They took everything they could. Luckily, I wasn’t working late, as I could have been in there.’
