Kate Middleton Cancer: Princess of Wales finds comfort with new ‘love’, approved by Prince William, during treatment

Kate Middleton has a special friend who helped the Princess of Wales keep going during her health crisis and with whom even Prince William agrees– Orla, their pet dog. The Duke of Cambridge recently revealed that their little furry friend sleeps on the bed with them.

The Prince of Wales, who holds the title of Duke of Cornwall, was at Duchy College in Callington to meet the students and staff. He was in good spirits at the college and was welcomed with enthusiastic greetings.

Talking to Hits Radio Cornwall, Louise Harland shared that Prince William took over her dog during her visit to the Duchy College. “(He was) absolutely in love with my little dog,” she said.

Louise further said that Prince William shared with her that the Royal couple's dog, Orla, sleeps with them in their bed at night.

“(He) said that his little dog sleeps on the bed with them at night, with him and Kate,” Louise said, adding that the royal couple are probably considering adding another dog to their family.

In a recent post, Greatest Hits Radio News shared a video showing Prince William going near Louise Harland and seeming delighted to see the pup. “My dog is exactly like this... loves cuddles,” he said.

Holly Rushton, the college's animal management programme manager, shared with The News that dogs are an important part of the college experience, helping students in their studies of animal behaviour and management.

Prince William's love for dogs

The Prince and Princess of Wales currently have a spaniel named Orla, which Kate's brother, James Middleton, gifted to the family in 2020. The royal couple previously had another dog, which they acquired a year after their marriage.

Lupo, the royal couple's first dog, passed away in November 2020, and subsequently, they received Orla as a gift. The dog has been a tremendous source of solace for both Kate and William, who have a deep affection for dogs, particularly for Orla, a name of Celtic origin that translates to “golden princess.”
