Sharing the rare glimpse into family life, James reflected that there was 'no better birthday present' than spending time with his family.
He wrote in his caption: 'Thank you, 38. I’m right where I’m meant to be. There is no better birthday present than that ❤️

'Moving in sync, tails wagging. On a journey, with Inigo at the wheel, headed wherever life takes us.
'Filled with joy, love and just the right amount of chaos.'
James has frequently shared his love of dogs, and currently owns six: Zulu, Inka, Luna, Mabel, Nala and Isla.
James is a breeder of cocker spaniels, and even gifted Kate and William his beloved black spaniel Orla in 2020, who has since appeared in several posts shared by the family - including Kate's cancer recovery video last year.
He wrote a book about his beloved pup Ella, who passed away in 2023, and recently released a book called Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life, which has been described as a 'love letter to man's best friend'.
Last month, James shared an adorable tribute to his wife Alizee to celebrate Mother's Day.
Kate's younger brother shared a gorgeous snap of Alizee and their son Inigo, one, to Instagram on Sunday.

James sweetly captioned the photo, writing: 'Happy Mothers to all the amazing Mothers but an extra bit of love for this one.'
His sister Kate has also shared a photo to mark Mother's Day, as she shared a powerful video about healing in nature.
James and Alizee got engaged in 2019 but had to delay their nuptials to 2021 following the Covid-19 pandemic.
They finally managed to tie the knot in Bormes-les-Mimosas in Provence, saying their vows in front of the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Socialite Pippa, and her businessman husband James Matthews were also at the even, along with parents Carole and Michael Middleton.

'A different type of January blues,' he wrote, also on social media.
'The January blues used to hit me hard…and to some extent it still does - the lingering aftermath of the festive season and long dark nights mixed in with overly ambitious New Year’s resolutions meant I felts as if I only just about surviving and it was only the start of the year…
'But a few years ago I set myself a new mantra which was inspired by my dogs. Don’t spend every moment thinking of the one to come, or ones in the past.
'The past is imperfect, the future will be too - take each day as a new day, you can be excited about the future…the past won’t mind!'
James revealed that he and his family started their 2025 with an 'adventure into the mountains'.
'We were lucky enough to be engulfed blue skies and cold crisp air,' he continued.
'I can’t believe how quickly Inigo is growing up- in fact that scares me the most…I fear if I blink I will miss it…but like with the dogs we include him in all of our adventures making memories taking each day as it comes…'
He also recently gave a sweet insight into childhood holidays with his family.

Kate's brother revealed that the three children, including Pippa, 41, used to go 'rock climbing on the crags' and 'explore the caves'.
Speaking to The Times, he fondly reminisced on their adventurous outings, telling the outlet: 'We were like something from The Famous Five.'
'Growing up, we’d also head to the Lake District, staying in rented cottages around Coniston Water and Windermere. It’s a very special place for us as a family.
'The Old Man of Coniston is one of my favourite mountains — I first climbed it on my dad’s back when I was four years old.'
He explained now that he and his sisters are adults, they still make sure to bond as a 'wider family' so that their own kids can play with their cousins - 'especially around Christmas'.
