Since she married Prince Harry on May 19, Meghan Markle has been part of the British Royal Family and, indirectly, of the lives of Britons, who cannot take their eyes off her. It is hardly surprising. With her charm, naturalness, and freshness, Meghan has managed to captivate even the (supposedly tough-as-nails) Queen Elizabeth II.
As could hardly be otherwise, 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 put her successful and promising acting career on hold. She has watched as part of her family tried to profit from her new situation. In short, few things are the way they used to be for her.
For love, the Duchess of Sussex has given up many things. But there is one thing she will not 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 dogs she rescued when they were just puppies. Perhaps that is where her affinity with the Queen comes from, as the Queen is a devoted ARISTOPETER. She loves a breed native to Great Britain: the Welsh Pembroke Corgi, whose members have given the Queen not only unconditional companionship, but also her best friends.
For reasons that have not come to light, Bogart now lives with some of Meghan's close friends. This may have to do with the fact that the United Kingdom has one of the world's strictest regulations regarding the entry of animals. In fact, it requires a quarantine period that, depending on the circumstances, 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 at Nottingham Cottage is her little Guy. And he is attracting all the attention.
In fact, media outlets around the world refer to Guy as the “new canine royal highness” (with the Queen's dogs' permission). People have been fascinated by his relationship with Meghan. Because she always knew she wanted a beagle, thanks to its energetic, friendly, and loyal nature. And in the end, she found one through Petfinder, one of the most widely used online adoption platforms in North America. After seeing his little face, Meghan said in various interviews and on her own Instagram profile (now deleted) that she knew he was the one. She submitted the application at top speed until she managed to adopt him and make him one of the most important members of her family.
Guy's life at the palace has already become such a sensation that a children's book featuring him as the protagonist has even been created. Of course, this is not the first time it has happened. Royal pets have long inspired great fascination and already have an extensive bibliography. In fact, Lupo, Prince William and Kate Middleton's dog, also has his own series. And the Queen's corgis have appeared in countless children's books.
Putting the spotlights and cameras aside, the truth is that Guy is still there for Meghan, regardless of who she is now. That's how ARISTODOGS are. Always loyal, indifferent to all those things that sometimes change human behavior. That is why he was at the feet of the future duchess during one of the most important moments before the wedding: her makeup and hairstyling. Guy remained impassive and calm, conveying serenity, confidence, and love to her throughout that morning. The most perfect representation of what a real royal family truly is.
