When it comes to gifting, especially for someone as special as your fiancée, you want to get it right. And let’s be honest, when that someone is Meghan Markle, the bar is set pretty high. Luckily for us, Prince Harry has pulled off a Christmas miracle by introducing a new furry addition to their family at Nottingham Cottage. Let’s just say, this gift is one for the books.
Harry’s Thoughtful Gesture: A Puppy for Meghan
Now, you might be wondering why a puppy? Well, it’s more than just a cute idea. Meghan had to leave behind her cherished Labrador-shepherd mix, Bogart, with friends in Canada because, at his age, flying just wasn’t an option. Though she did bring her six-year-old Beagle, Guy, over to the UK, there’s no denying that a piece of her heart stayed back with Bogart. Prince Harry, being the considerate and loving fiancé that he is, recognized this void and decided to fill it with a wagging tail and wet kisses.

Meghan’s Heartfelt Words About Her Rescue Pups
During their engagement interview, Meghan opened up about her two beloved rescue dogs. She said, “I have two dogs that I’ve had for quite a long time, both my rescue pups. One is now staying with very close friends, and my other little guy is—yes, he’s in the UK. He’s been here for a while.” It’s clear that these dogs are more than just pets; they’re family. And Harry, understanding the significance of this bond, wanted to ensure Meghan felt whole again.
Harry’s Canine-Free Past and Exciting Future
Interestingly, Prince Harry has never owned a dog himself. His time in military service, with all its traveling, made it impractical. But now, as he settles into a more stable life with Meghan, he’s ready to embrace the joy of having a furry companion. According to royal biographer Penny Junor, “Harry has been waiting until his circumstances made it practical to have one. He loves dogs.” And who could blame him? There’s nothing quite like the unconditional love of a loyal pup.
As we imagine the royal couple’s new dog mingling with Queen Elizabeth’s corgis, it’s easy to picture a harmonious blend of wagging tails and warm hearts. Harry joked during an interview, “The corgis took you straight away. I’ve spent the last 33 years being barked at; this one walks in, absolutely nothing.” Meghan even shared that she’s already formed a special connection with the Queen’s corgis. “That’s true,” she added. “Just laying on my feet during tea, it was very sweet.” With this new addition to their family, we can’t wait to see how the bond grows—and hopefully, catch a glimpse of their newest furry friend!
