The Duchess of Sussex, 37, is known for her love of dogs and was said to have been heartbroken at having to leave one of her pets behind when moved to the UK.

Bogart, Meghan’s adored labrador, was deemed too old to make the journey.

But her other pooch Guy, a beagle, was flown over last November and made a starring role at the Royal Wedding evening reception in May.

Has Meghan got a new dog?

Meghan and Prince Harry, 33, have welcomed a new four-legged friend to live with them at Kensington Palace.

A Royal source told the Mail: “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.”

What breed is it?

Meghan and Harry’s new pet pup is a purebred labrador.

The dog’s name and sex has yet to be revealed.

Meghan, who has previously adopted dogs from rescue sanctuaries, has spoken of her love for Guy and Bogart.

On her now deleted Instagram account, she regularly referred to the two as “my boys” and “my loves”.

Adam Helliker, columnist for The Sunday Express, revealed soon after the couple’s engagement that Prince Harry wanted to give his new bride a dog to make up for the one she had to leave behind.

He wrote at the time: “Harry intends to find her a second canine companion, not least because he’s always wanted one himself.”

Do William and Kate have a dog?

Harry may be keen to emulate his older brother Prince William, 36, who already shares a dog with his wife Kate, 36.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge own an black cocker spaniel named Lupo, who they welcomed into their family in December 2011.

He has become a favourite in royal photos alongside the Cambridge children.

Lupo even featured in one of the first official snaps of Prince George after he was born.

He was bred from Ella, a dog owned by Kate’s parents Michael and Carole Middleton.

His name, meaning Wolf in Italian, is reportedly a reference to Kate’s great grandmother Olive Christiana Lupton.
