Prince William and Kate Middleton’s family has grown — not with another baby, but with a new puppy. During a visit to Wales on February 3, Kate confirmed the couple recently welcomed an 8-month-old dog, joining their cocker spaniel Orla. Speculation about a new pet had circulated since Orla gave birth to puppies last year, and the family was later spotted with two dogs. The puppy’s name has not been revealed.
The news follows years of public curiosity about whether the couple would have more children, speculation that largely faded as Kate battled cancer. Royal insiders have previously said the couple are not planning another baby.
Separately, reports continue to swirl around royal tensions. Sources claim Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton have an increasingly strained relationship as Kate prepares for her future role as queen, with disagreements reportedly fueled by status, influence, and public attention.
There are also renewed claims that Kate still feels lingering hurt from past rumors of Prince William’s alleged affair with Rose Hanbury, despite denials and efforts to move forward. Insiders say Kate has set firm boundaries to protect her emotional well-being.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry recently named William and Kate in court documents tied to his lawsuit against British tabloids, highlighting how closely connected they once were before family relationships fractured further.
