“I think buying a house is up there with one of the most stressful experiences in my life 😅🏡🐾,” Prince George’s uncle captioned photos of Alizée and their dogs.

James added, “It’s been a hectic few months moving in to our new home & we couldn’t be happier. We are settling into our life in the country & the dogs ❤️ their new home #housemove #lifeinthecountry #dogsofinstagram #dogs.”

James and Alizée got engaged in 2019. “❤️She said OUI ❤️,” James said in his engagement announcement. “Our secret is out but we couldn’t be happier to share the news 🥂🍾#jalizee 🇬🇧🇫🇷.”

Two homes 🏡 lockdown 🔐 two attempts at a wedding🤵👰❌, a litter of 🐶, launching of new company @ella.co 🐾 a beard shave 🪒 and much more but the best part is that I get to share it with you @alizeethevenet and I can’t wait to take on whatever the future holds for us ✨.”
