Prince William and Kate Middleton Introduce Adorable New Family Member

The brown spaniel is from Orla’s litter, and the family shared a holiday photo with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

  • On Friday, May 1, 2026, Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their new dog's name is Otto via Instagram, marking the pet's first birthday celebration.
  • Otto is the offspring of Orla, the family's black cocker spaniel who gave birth to four puppies last May; the couple adopted Orla in 2020 after the unexpected death of their first dog, Lupo.
  • The household includes the couple's three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 7, who appear together in official family photographs with their parents and pets.
  • Earlier this week, William and Kate celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary by sharing a family snapshot showing them relaxing in the grass with their children.
  • This addition continues the tradition of royal pet ownership echoing Queen Elizabeth, who owned over 30 corgis during her 70-year reign and received her first pup, Susan, on her 18th birthday.
