The Meaning Behind the Royal Family's Beloved Dog, Orla
In a rare look into their private life, William and Catherine shared intimate moments with their children in a video filmed in Norfolk, featuring a special appearance from the family's cocker spaniel, Orla.
While the spaniel is seldom seen at public royal events, Orla has captured the hearts of royal fans with her elegant presence. Her name, meaning "golden princess" in Gaelic, reflects the regal status of the royal family’s beloved pet.
Orla, a treasured addition to the family, was a special gift from Catherine's brother, James Middleton. Bred from James’s late dog, Ella, Orla was part of a litter that holds deep sentimental value. She even appeared in Princess Charlotte’s seventh birthday photos, making her an adored figure both within the family and among royal watchers.
