US EditionPeta claims Prince William and Kate are ‘staggeringly out of touch’ after pet dog has puppies
- On June 21, 2025, Prince William celebrated turning 43 by sharing a photo on social media featuring his dog Orla alongside three of her recent puppies.
- This event followed the couple having Orla since 2020 and sparked criticism from PETA due to concerns about an ongoing animal homelessness crisis.
- PETA’s vice president Elisa Allen said shelters worldwide overflow with puppies needing homes, calling the royals’ breeding "staggeringly out of touch" and praised King Charles and Queen Camilla for adopting.
- In February 2025, Queen Camilla welcomed a playful dog named Moley into her family, having rescued him from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, where she serves as Patron, emphasizing support for shelter adoptions.
- Activists, among them Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell, have urged the Charity Commission to remove PETA’s charitable status, while others have defended the royal couple’s pet choices and encouraged adoption rather than breeding.
