James Middleton has shared a 'beautiful' photo of son Inigo watching the solar eclipse yesterday evening.The younger brother of the Princess of Wales posted the scenic image on Instagram, showing his little one outside, alongside two of his beloved dogs.Between 6pm and just after 8pm on Wednesday, the UK's most significant solar eclipse since 1999 took place - gripping much of the nation.Beaches, parks and beauty spots were packed with sky-watchers who witnessed the once-in-a-generation event, the moon blocking up to 96 per cent of its disc at the peak and leaving just a sliver of sunlight visible across the deepest parts of the country.Though it was not a total eclipse, meaning, despite drops in light and temperatures, it did not fall completely dark - something that is clearly reflected in James' snap.The photograph shows 2-year-old Inigo, with whom 39-year-old James shares with French financier wife Alizée Thévenet, 36, alongside their two golden retrievers, Mabel and Isla.Captioning the photo, James wrote: 'Solar Eclipse 2026. A strange, beautiful few minutes… The dogs, meanwhile, weren’t entirely sure what was going on…' James Middleton has shared a 'beautiful' photo of son Inigo and the family's two golden retrievers Isla and Mabel watching the solar eclipse on Wednesday evening Pictured: People gather to view the partial solar eclipse in Greenwich Park on August 12, 2026 in London, United KingdomYoung Inigo, sandwiched between the pair of canines, appeared to follow in his father's footsteps with his love for canines as he sat on a football while proudly displaying his own fluffy toy husky in front. The bright-white sun beamed down from the blue sky, the hot summer having turned the grass a pale yellow in the field they'd ventured out to, creating rich golden hour lighting for the picturesque snap. Turning his back to the sun, no doubt under direction from his father, Ingo pointed up at a different part of the sky with sweet curiosity, prompting his pooch Mabel to do the same. Thousands of fans flooded the comment section, praising James's eye behind the lens and his adorable son. One person wrote: 'Great photo, definitely one for a frame. It seems photography skills run in the family.'Another said: 'So sweet he brought his toy dog out to watch too.' A third joked, '3 beautiful Goldens,' referring to the dogs' golden coats and Inigo's blonde locks.

'We talked about climbing mountains while you were in hospital, and about the incredible healing power that nature can have for both the body and the mind.'James said it was an 'honour' to join Catherine for the physical challenge, which involves scaling three of the highest peaks in the UK within 24 hours, to spread her message about life after cancer and raise funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.He praised his older sister's 'strength, resilience, and determination' to complete the Three Peaks Challenge 18 months after announcing she had completed her chemotherapy treatment and is in remission from the disease.'Your strength, resilience, and determination, all while being the most amazing mother, wife, daughter, and sister, inspire me and so many others every single day,' James wrote.'Keep being exactly who you are,' his beautiful message to Catherine read.
