The nine-year-old English Cocker Spaniel, which William and Kate received as a wedding gift in 2011 from the Duchess’s parents, appeared in most of the family photos of the royal couple. And he also appeared in one of the first official photographs of little Prince George, the heir to the throne.

Lupo allegedly entered the history of the monarchy by helping to choose a name for the successor. William and Kate were to write selected names on paper and place them in front of the dog. After a moment of examining the papers, Lupo stopped at George’s name. Prince William also demonstrated how important he was to the family in 2013, when George was born.

“Kate and now little George are my top priorities now. And Lupo, “Prince William did not forget to add. “She is dealing with it well. As most people who keep dogs know when you bring a newborn home, most dogs need some time to adapt. But so far he is doing well, he is drooling all over the house and he is absolutely happy, “William added to Lup at the time of George’s birth.

The small heir to the throne and Lupo were indivisible companions. After the publication of this photo in 2016, animal protection organizations had to explain that dairy products are very unsuitable for dogs.

Duchess Kate’s brother, James Middleton, also spoke about the loss of his beloved Magnus. “Nothing can prepare you for the loss of a dog. For those who have never had a dog, it is difficult to understand the loss, “he said in his instagram account. “But those who have ever loved a dog know the truth: A dog is not just a pet. He is a family member, best friend, faithful companion, teacher and therapist. “

Like the other members of the royal family, Lupo attracted attention. In 2013, the fire brigade had to intervene after him after a restless dog got stuck in the head at the entrance gate. Thanks to the fact that he appeared alongside the royal couple, he also became the protagonist of four children’s books with the subtitle The Adventures of the Royal Dog.
