Add Prince William and Kate Middleton to the long list of people who got a new pet to get them through lockdown.

According to the Mail on Sunday , the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received a very special gift from Kates brother James Middleton a few months ago: a cocker spaniel puppy with a family connection.

The Cambridge kids Prince George, seven Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, reportedly helped pick out the dog from a litter of puppies that James had bred.

The new dog, whose name we dont yet know, is adorable and the whole family are besotted, an unnamed source told the outlet.
