In a delightful revelation that offers a glimpse into royal family life, Prince William has shared insights about his bedtime routine with wife Kate Middleton at their home in Adelaide Cottage.
This charming confession has made the couple’s domestic life feel surprisingly relatable to many.
Nestled within the serene grounds of Windsor Castle, the couple has called the five-bedroom residence home for over two years now.
Alongside their three children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—the family also shares their space with a beloved cocker spaniel named Orla.
It seems that their home is not just a royal abode but a lively family hub.
During a recent public engagement in Cornwall, Prince William opened up to onlookers about their nightly sleeping arrangements.
To the surprise of many, he revealed that their family dog often joins them in bed.
Yes, you heard it right!
Orla, their furry companion, snuggles up with the couple most nights, turning their royal bedroom into a cozy family nest.
William expressed his affection for Orla, sharing how much love he has for the little dog.
Royal fan Louise Harlan, who spoke to a local radio station, noted that the prince was curious about Orla’s breed, which is a unique mix known as a Cocker Jack.
It seems that even royals can be intrigued by the charm of a mixed-breed dog!
Orla isn’t just a pet; she’s a part of the family and has even made appearances during royal events.
Last year, she was photographed with Princess Charlotte to celebrate her birthday, and she also joined the family at a polo match.
The dog’s name, which translates from Gaelic to mean “Golden Princess,” certainly fits her royal lifestyle.
Before Orla, the Wales family had another dog named Lupo, a thoughtful wedding gift from Kate’s brother, James.
Sadly, Lupo passed away in November 2020 at the age of nine, leaving a notable void in the family’s hearts.
However, their love for pets continues to shine through with Orla now stealing the spotlight.
The Wales family isn’t just limited to dogs; they are known for their love of animals, even having some farm animals on their estate.
During a visit to Woodgate Valley Urban Farm earlier this year, William enthusiastically interacted with guinea pigs, showcasing his playful side.
He humorously remarked about the challenges of pet ownership, particularly when it comes to cleaning out their guinea pig cage.
“I have to spend my life cleaning out the guinea pig cage because the children forget to do it,” he said, highlighting the relatable struggles of parenting.
William’s candid remarks resonate with many parents who juggle the responsibilities of caring for pets and children.
The prince’s light-hearted take on family life makes him and Kate seem more approachable, breaking down the barriers of royal formality.
