Princess Kate and Prince William are celebrating new additions to their family after their beloved dog Orla recently welcomed a litter of puppies.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun, both the black cocker spaniel and her newborn pups are doing well.<\/p>\n

“Mother and babies are doing well,” a source told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace has not yet officially confirmed the news of the Royal Family’s furry new arrivals.<\/p>\n

Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, are reportedly delighted with the new puppies, with the family considering keeping the litter.<\/p>\n

“Everyone loves a new royal baby news and so new royal puppies run very close,” a source said.<\/p>\n

The source added that the Wales family are “loving the pups so far and hope to keep them.”<\/p>\n

Orla joined the Wales family in 2020, gifted by Kate’s younger brother, James Middleton after his dog Luna welcomed “six little healthy pups.”<\/p>\n

James shared the news on Instagram at the time, noting that “they all have lovely homes waiting for them.”<\/p>\n

The family’s choice of name was revealed two years later in Princess Charlotte’s 7th birthday portraits.<\/p>\n

Orla is a Celtic name meaning “golden princess” – a particularly fitting choice for a royal canine companion.<\/p>\n

The black cocker spaniel became part of the family shortly before William and Kate’s previous dog Lupo passed away in November 2020.<\/p>\n

Lupo, also a black cocker spaniel, had been given to the royal couple by James Middleton as a “belated wedding present” in 2011.<\/p>\n

In his memoir “Meet Ella: The Dog Who Saved My Life,” James revealed that William received Lupo during a challenging time when he was preparing for a six-week deployment to the Falkland Islands.<\/p>\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales recently shared a rare image of Orla to mark National Pet Day on April 11.<\/p>\n

The Instagram photo showed the dog with her “shiny coat seemingly wet from an adventure” in a grassy area.<\/p>\n

“Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives,” the couple’s team wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Princess Kate and Prince William are celebrating new additions to their family after their beloved dog Orla recently…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[533,12,1761,7283,532,1762,5105,7710,519,448,512,978],"class_list":{"0":"post-127629","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-kate-middleton","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-prince-george","11":"tag-prince-louis","12":"tag-prince-william","13":"tag-princess-charlotte","14":"tag-royal","15":"tag-royal-families","16":"tag-royal-family","17":"tag-royals","18":"tag-sgg","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114562085970081136","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
