Kate Middleton, Prince William's family expanded with pet dog's new puppies
Prince William and Kate Middleton's beloved cocker spaniel, Orla, recently gave birth to quads, The Sun reported. The royal couple's children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have already reportedly been enjoying their time with the puppies. However, no official announcement notice is posted for this addition to the family outside Buckingham Palace. An insider with the royal family was quoted as saying, "We always thought the patter of tiny feet in the Wales's household had ended, so the sound of tiny paws will have to do.' It has not yet been clarified whether the royal family plans to keep the weeks-old pups of their black cocker spaniel. Orla also featured in Kate Middleton's emotional family video from September last year, when she revealed that her chemotherapy was completed. She had also expressed that nature had played a significant role in her cancer recovery. Kate's brother James Middleton reportedly gifted Orla to the family in 2020. James had also bred Lupo, Kate and William's previous dog, and Orla's parents. The much-loved pet, however, does not make such appearances with the royal family, except for selective occasions. Kate and William had posted a photo of Orla last month for National Pet Day, captioning it with "Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives." In another instance, Orla was seen in a picture from Charlotte's seventh birthday in 2022. Lupo was reportedly gifted to the royal family by James in 2011, but died in 2020. James Middleton praised his black cocker spaniel, Ella, for saving him from the "depths of depression", and said that she gave him "purpose and reassurance". The royals have reportedly had a long history of breeding their dogs. For the first time last week, Queen Camilla revealed a photograph of her rescue puppy Moley. The King had his first pooch, an Italian truffle-hunting dog named Snuff, in 20 years, the Sun reported. The late Queen Elizabeth II was also known for her corgis and throughout her life, owned more than 30 digs.

Prince William and Princess Kate delight fans with Royal family update as they welcome new addition at home
There's exciting news from the Prince and Princess of Wales' household — and this time, it's of the four-legged variety. Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to be overjoyed as their cherished family dog, Orla, has recently given birth to a litter of puppies. According to The Sun, the couple's black cocker spaniel, Orla, and her new pups are doing well. 'Mother and babies are doing well,' a source shared with the outlet, though Buckingham Palace has not officially confirmed the news. The insider added that the entire family, including Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, are thrilled with the arrival of the puppies and are already smitten. 'Everyone loves a new royal baby news and so new royal puppies run very close,' they added. Orla first joined the royal family in 2020, a special gift following the birth of six healthy pups from Luna — a dog belonging to Kate's brother, James Middleton. James had announced the happy arrival of Luna's puppies on Instagram, noting that each had found a loving home. It wasn't until Princess Charlotte's 7th birthday portraits were released in 2022 that the public learned the name of the royal pup — Orla, a Celtic name meaning 'golden princess.' A fitting choice for a pet in such a prominent family. Orla's arrival came shortly before the family mourned the loss of their previous dog, Lupo, also a black cocker spaniel gifted by James as a belated wedding present in 2011. Lupo had been a loyal companion to the couple, especially during William's deployment to the Falkland Islands. Earlier this year, on April 11, the Prince and Princess of Wales delighted royal fans with a rare snap of Orla to mark National Pet Day. The Instagram post showed the glossy-coated spaniel gazing into the distance, her fur damp from what looked like a recent outdoor adventure. Though the palace remains quiet for now, it seems there's no shortage of puppy love in the Wales.
