Meet the “Golden Princess” of the royal family

Prince William, Princess Kate Middleton

The British Royal Family has always had a special bond with pets, and this affection continues with the current generation, especially Prince William and Princess Kate. In a recent conversation, Prince William revealed that their beloved dog, Orla, shares their bed at night, highlighting the close family atmosphere they cherish. “William said his dog sleeps on the bed with them at night, with him and Kate. (He was) absolutely in love with my little dog,” royal fan Louise Harland shared with a local radio station, as reported by The New York Post.

Orla, a cocker spaniel, has been a treasured addition to the family since she was given to them by Kate’s brother James Middleton in 2020. Before Orla, William and Kate had another dog named Lupo, who they received in their home in a short time. after their wedding in 2011. Sadly, Lupo passed away in November 2020, prompting the couple to open their hearts to Orla not long after. The name ‘Orla’ has Celtic roots, translating to ‘golden princess’, a fitting title for the prized pet.

In addition to their pet news, Kate Middleton has been in the spotlight for her recent public appearance without her iconic engagement ring. The ring, which was a gift from Prince William in 2010, has become a symbol of their enduring love and commitment since their wedding. This absence has sparked curiosity among royal watchers, especially given the context of Kate’s health struggles over the past year.

After announcing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Kate has gradually resumed her royal duties, including her involvement in early years initiatives. On September 9, she announced that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment and is focusing on achieving cancer-free status. In a candid video message, she expressed her emotions about the diagnosis and shared her journey to recovery, saying she is on the long road to a “full recovery.”

In the midst of these personal challenges, some conspiracy theories have surfaced suggesting turmoil in their marriage, particularly regarding the couple’s public absence and speculation of a secret divorce. However, Kate’s recent engagement with royal duties and her determination to return to her responsibilities points to a resilient spirit as she navigates her health journey and family life.
