“Are you a dog or cat person?” — a question that’s been asked for eternity and seldom have we witnessed that ongoing war rest for even a little while. But have you ever wondered about the British royals? From cats, dogs, ponies, and even tortoises, pets have always been a part of the royal family and enjoyed their royal shelter. Among other members, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle is also a pet lover and even promotes adopting pets from shelter homes.

The Duchess is a mother floofer to three dogs, namely Guy, Mia, and Pula. While Guy and Mia are rescue Beagles, Pula is a Labrador. Prince Harry has notably talked about their puppers at par saying that even though they wreak havoc when they are playful, and even chase squirrels, when behaving, they are definitely emotional support dogs. But does that mean that the Duchess of Sussex is a dog person? Or has she ever been a Cat Girl?

Her speech at Ms. Foundation Gala in New York City strongly hints that she must have petted a cat back in her childhood days. While talking about her “evening ritual of jeopardy,” she said,  “I would glance at the coffee table where I would see an array of things. It could be the cat’s collar, my homework, some mail that had just been brought in, and some magazines.”

Now, “cat’s collar” would only make sense if Meghan Markle and her mom have had a cat back in those days. However, it was just a concrete passing reference, and she has not mentioned it directly. Meanwhile, here’s everything you need to know about the royal family’s pets.

Not only Meghan Markle, but the entire royal family is a pet-loving group

While her majesty the late Queen Elizabeth II had a Corgi, Susan, as her 18th birthday present, she has taken care of Susan’s line over decades. King Charles and Queen Camella too are parents to two Jack Russell Terrier, Bluebell and Beth, who often escort the Queen to her royal duties. The Prince and Princess of Wales also had an adorable English Cocker Spaniel, named Lupo.

However, they saw his unfortunate demise back in 2020, and since then, Orla, Lupo’s nephew, is a part of their family. Meanwhile, the entire royal family has been a proud caretaker of horses and boasts their glory like nothing else.
