Kate Middleton and Prince William caused widespread excitement each time they announced the birth of a new royal baby. Now, the Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly "delighted" their kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—by revealing that they've expanded their family once again. This time, however, it is the family's dog, Orla, who has welcomed several new puppies. As reported by The Sun, William and Kate's black Cocker Spaniel, Orla, has reportedly given birth to four puppies. A royal source told the outlet, "Mother and babies are doing well." The insider continued, "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." While it's currently unclear whether the Prince and Princess of Wales plan to keep the new puppies, their own kids are apparently very happy about the new household additions. "Everyone royal baby news, and so new royal puppies run very close," the source claimed. The royal source continued, "Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla, and Lupo before." Royal fans will recall that William and Kate announced the death of their dog, Lupo, in 2020. Kate's brother, James Middleton, gave the family Orla soon after. In April, the Prince and Princess of Wales's official Instagram account paid tribute to Orla by posting a photo of the sweet pup, with the caption, "Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives this #NationalPetDay." Kate and William aren't the only members of the Royal Family to love dogs. For instance, Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Feguson, recently revealed that Queen Elizabeth II communicates with her from beyond via her corgis. Unsurprisingly, the late Queen didn't react too kindly when a royal relative suggested that all of the monarch's corgis "should be shot." Meanwhile, the first photos of Queen Camilla's new dog, Moley, were released ahead of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2025.

Prince and Princess of Wales' dog gives birth to quads
The Prince and Princess of Wales' dog has given birth to quads. Prince William and Duchess Catherine's cocker spaniel Orla recently welcomed four puppies and the royal couple's children –Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis – are already obsessed with the new additions to the family. A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Mother and babies are doing well. '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. 'Everyone loves a new royal baby news and so new royal puppies run very close. "Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla, and Lupo before.' The royal family received Orla in 2020 as a gift from Catherine's brother James Middleton, who also bred their previous dog Lupo. Back in November 2020, William and Catherine revealed they were mourning the loss of their pet pooch Lupo, their beloved English cocker spaniel, who they had for nine years. They wrote on Instagram at the time: "Very sadly last weekend our dear dog, Lupo, passed away. He has been at the heart of our family for the past nine years and we will miss him so much. - W and C. " Since joining the Royal Family, Orla has made a few public appearances, including with Catherine at the Royal Charity Polo Cup in July 2022, where William competed, and in Princess Charlotte's 8th birthday portraits.

William and Kate's cocker spaniel welcomes quads of pups – and royal children are already in love
THE Prince and Princess of Wales's dog Orla has given birth to quads. And the royal couple's children are already said to have fallen in love with the black cocker spaniel 's pups. 2 2 A source said: 'Mother and babies are doing well.' But unlike with the arrival of royal tots, there is no official announcement or framed notice on an easel placed outside Buckingham Palace. And their names have yet to be revealed — and neither has the father's identity. Our insider said: '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.' Kate and William 's spokesman has not commented and it is not yet known whether the family — including Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, ten, and seven-year-old Prince Louis — plan to keep the weeks-old pups. Our insider went on: 'Everyone loves a new royal baby news and so new royal puppies run very close. "Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla, and Lupo before.' Kate has credited spending time in nature as vital to her cancer recovery and Orla featured in her emotional family video last September when she revealed her chemotherapy was over. The family got Orla in 2020 as a gift from Kate's brother James Middleton, who also bred Kate and William's previous dog Lupo and Orla's parents. Yet the much-loved family pet makes only the occasional appearance alongside her royal owners. Kate's cancer remission statement is nod to new normal after terrible year - she's a beacon of hope, royal expert says Kate and William posted a photo of Orla online for National Pet Day last month with the comment: 'Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives.' Another rare glimpse came when Orla was pictured in Charlotte's seventh birthday photos in 2022. The cocker spaniel's first public appearance came at a charity polo match several weeks later. The couple's first pet dog, Lupo, was a wedding present in 2011 but died in 2020. James Middleton hailed his own black cocker spaniel Ella for saving his life while in the 'depths of depression', saying she gave him 'purpose and reassurance'. The royals have a long history of owning and breeding dogs. Last week, Queen Camilla revealed for the first time a photograph of her rescue puppy Moley. The Sun also exclusively revealed in February the King had his first pooch — Italian truffle hunting dog Snuff — in 20 years. The late Queen Elizabeth II was known for her corgis and owned more than 30 in her lifetime.
