Prince William and Princess Kate welcome new family addition their kids absolutely ‘love’


Prince William and Princess Kate are said to have welcomed a delightful new addition to their family — four puppies — and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are reportedly smitten.

The adorable pups are the offspring of the family’s black cocker spaniel, Orla, who recently gave birth, according to The Sun. The tiny litter has brought joy and excitement to Adelaide Cottage, where the young royals have been captivated by the new arrivals, who are only a few weeks old.

A source shared with the outlet that both Orla and her puppies are healthy and doing well, and that the whole household is thrilled. “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,” they said.

It’s still unclear whether the Prince and Princess of Wales intend to keep the puppies or where the father comes from. The names of the new pups have also not been revealed.

 

The source added, “Everyone loves 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.”

Kensington Palace has not commented on the reports.

Orla made an appearance in Princess Kate’s emotional video last September when she shared that her cancer treatment had come to an end. The family welcomed Orla into their home in 2020, following the passing of their previous dog, Lupo. She is believed to be a puppy from one of Kate’s brother James Middleton’s dogs, known for his love of animals.

Last month, the couple posted a rare photo of Orla to mark National Pet Day, writing in the caption: “Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives this #NationalPetDay.”
