Heads up — is James courting artist Laura?

WHILE Carole Middleton’s two daughters enjoy marital bliss, her only son, James, has struggled to find lasting love.

Now, the amiable 31-yearold marshmallow-maker is sweet on a mystery blonde.

This week, he took her to meet his parents, his sister Pippa and Prince Harry and Meghan at a Christmas carol service in Chelsea. But when photographers appeared, she hid her face beneath her felt fedora (right).

‘She’s his new girlfriend,’ confirms a close friend.

Pals claim she’s wildlife artist Laura Pearse (above), 31, who bears an uncanny resemblance to his ex-girlfriend Donna Air. But any romance is denied by Laura, who insists she would not even recognise James in a photo. How curious, given that they follow each other on social media.
