Since marrying Prince Harry on May 19, Meghan Markle has become part of the British Royal Family and, indirectly, part of the lives of Britons, who can't take their eyes off her. And for good reason. With her charm, naturalness, and freshness, Meghan has captivated even the (supposedly tough-to-please) Queen Elizabeth II.
As expected, her life has taken a 360-degree turn. The Duchess of Sussex has left cosmopolitan Toronto (Canada) to settle in Nottingham Cottage (a house on the grounds of Kensington Palace, near London). She has interrupted her successful and promising acting career. She has seen how part of her family tried to profit from her new situation. In short, few things are as they once were for her.
For love, the Duchess of Sussex has given up many things. But there is one thing she would never give up, under any circumstances: the company of her ARISTODOG Guy.
Meghan Markle has declared herself a pet lover on numerous occasions. In fact, both her beagle Guy and her German Shepherd Bogart are two dogs she rescued when they were just puppies. Perhaps this is where her affinity with the Queen, who is a committed ARISTOPET, stems from. The Queen is a lover of a breed native to Great Britain: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, in which she has found not only unconditional companions but also her best friends.
For reasons that have not been disclosed, Bogart now lives with close friends of Meghan. This may have something to do with the fact that the United Kingdom has one of the most restrictive regulations in the world regarding allowing animals into the country. In fact, it establishes a quarantine period that, depending on the case, can last up to four months. But as we said, no one has commented on that matter. The one who has had the good fortune to share a royal residence with Meghan in Nottingham Cottage is her little Guy. And he's getting all the attention.
In fact, media outlets worldwide refer to Guy as the "new canine royal highness" (with the Queen's dogs' permission). People have been amazed by his relationship with Meghan. Because she always knew she wanted a beagle, for its energetic, gentle, and loyal nature. And she finally found him, no less than through Petfinder, one of the most widely used online adoption platforms in North America. After seeing his face, as Meghan recounted in various interviews and on her own (now deleted) Instagram profile, she knew it was him. And she quickly applied until she managed to adopt him and make him one of the most important members of her family.
Guy's life in the palace has already provided so much material that a very entertaining children's book has even been created with him as the protagonist. Of course, this is not the first time this has happened. Royal pets spark great fascination and already have an extensive bibliography. In fact, Lupo, Prince William and Kate Middleton's dog, also has his own saga. And the Queen's corgis have appeared in countless children's works.
Spotlights and cameras aside, what is certain is that Guy is still there for Meghan, regardless of who she is now. That's what ARISTODOGS are like. Always loyal, oblivious to all those things that sometimes change human behavior. That's why he was at the feet of the future Duchess, during one of the most important moments before the wedding: makeup and hair. Guy remained impassive, calm, transmitting serenity, confidence, and love throughout that morning. The most perfect representation of what a royal family truly is.
