Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have taken the next step in their relationship by getting a pet dog
Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have welcomed a new addition to their family—and its name is adorable.
MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry have adopted a black Labrador, it has been confirmed.
Last week, it was revealed the dog-loving couple had welcomed a new pet into their Kensington Palace home.
According to The Sun, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith confirmed the dog is a Lab and its name is Oz.
The lucky pet was said to be settling into Nottingham Cottage, their Palace home.
A source said: “The dog is already happily ensconced at their cottage.
“Like the Sussexes, the dog will divide its time between the palace and their country home in the Cotswolds.”
Kensington Palace declined to comment on the happy news.
Meghan has always been a dog-lover and was heartbroken when she had to leave Bogart, her beloved Labrador-German Shepherd mix behind in Toronto when she moved to the UK.
Her other dog, a beagle named Guy, was flown to England in November but Bogart was thought to be too old to make the long plane journey.
He is being looked after by friends of Meghan — and she’ll no doubt be visiting him on her current trip to Canada.
Meanwhile Guy is living in the lap of luxury in the royal household.
He has his own Union Jack coat, eats only organic food and enjoys regular walks in the extensive grounds of Kensington Palace.
Meghan adopted Guy and Bogart from a dog rescue centre in Los Angeles while she was with her first husband, film producer Trevor Engelson.
Before moving to the UK, Meghan shared numerous pictures of Bogart and Guy, describing them as “my loves”.
It is not known if Oz is a rescue dog but it seems likely, given Meghan’s past pets and the fact that Harry’s stepmum, the Duchess of Cornwall, is patron of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
