The source added, “Everyone loves new royal baby news and so new royal puppies run very close. Everyone is very excited, not least the three children, who adore Orla, and Lupo before.”
Kensington Palace has not commented on the reports.
Orla made an appearance in Princess Kate’s emotional video last September when she shared that her cancer treatment had come to an end. The family welcomed Orla into their home in 2020, following the passing of their previous dog, Lupo. She is believed to be a puppy from one of Kate’s brother James Middleton’s dogs, known for his love of animals.
Last month, the couple posted a rare photo of Orla to mark National Pet Day, writing in the caption: “Celebrating the animals who bring so much joy, companionship and love to our lives this #NationalPetDay.”
