Prince William and Kate's new puppy reveal

James Middletown has shared an adorable snap featuring Prince William and Kate’s new puppy.

The Duchess of Cambridge's younger brother gifted the royals their new furry friend, which came from a litter birthed by his own dog Luna.

James shared the sweet pictures from when his dog Luna gave birth to a litter of six cocker spaniels in 2020. One of the six pups photographed was Kate and Prince William's, whom they received before their dog Lupo died in November 2020.

The photos were posted alongside a caption in which James spoke about welcoming a dog into the family.

It is believed that the royals' new pet, whose name is not publicly known, is a black puppy – the same colour as Lupo.

In 2012, the year before Prince George's birth, James gifted Kate with Lupo, who is the brother of Luna – the mother of the duo's current pet.

James, a dog lover and owner of six canines, touched on helping his sister welcome their new dog.

"Over the years I've helped many friends, family and followers come to the right decision on adding a four-legged addition to the family," he wrote.

In a related post, he reflected on his childhood with Kate saying, "I was 11 when we got our first family dog, Tilly, and I remember all of the feelings of excitement and nervousness like it was yesterday!"

While not many details have been released about the Duke and Duchess' new dog, they did reveal that she's a girl during a January visit to a community hospital where they met a cockapoo puppy named Alfie.

While holding Alfie, Kate joked, "Our dog is going to be very upset. She's going to be like, 'Where have you been?'"
